In-reply-to » Anyone watching/watched Black Mirror Season 7? 😵‍💫😵 I've been watching the first episode and a couple of minutes into the third act then I was like ... Oh boy, I need a break! They're just so Fu__ing good, I'll give them that!

Can’t say I’ve been watching Black Mirror no.

In-reply-to » I’m thinking of building a hardened peering protocol for Yarn.social’s yarnd: pods establish cryptographic identities, exchange signed /info and /twt payloads with signature verification, ensuring authenticity, integrity, and spoof-proof identity validation across the distributed network.

@bender@twtxt.net Haha 🤣

In-reply-to » "Here’s what we do know: After their meeting ended and Vice President Vance left the room, the pope was still alive. We can deduce that he was alive, because he was heard asking an assistant, “Ho appena incontrato il volto del diavolo?” which roughly translates to, “Have I just encountered the face of the devil?” It’s a very common question that has been asked in many languages after encounters with JD Vance."

@bender@twtxt.net I wish we could fire presidents and Prime Minister’s when the need arises and the people recognize it needs to happen rather than having to wait for the next election

In-reply-to » I had Chick-fil-A breakfast today (sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit, hash browns, coffee, and orange juice). Then at lunch my work place offered hot dogs. I had two (kosher, if that matters), plus a coke, a macadamia nuts cookie, and a small chocolate brownie.

@bender@twtxt.net Holy moly 🤣 Bases on your description you’ve eaten and drunk way more than I have today where all I’ve had so far is three coffees today

@bender@twtxt.net So Vance killed the pope? 🤔

My Hypothesis for why registries didn’t work and why they still won’t really work today is because the bend the rules of “true” decentralization a bit. Users have to pick one or more registries to “register” to. Why would they want to do this? What is their incentive to do so? Then on the other hand, users need a client that has registry support, but now which registry or sets of registries do you choose?

In-reply-to » Testing mentions, immediately followed by commas. Let's see: @prologic, this one is local, it might not break. Now, this one @ isn't local. Nor this @ one. Will they break. Let's find out!

@bender@twtxt.net I can fix and make that work in the parser too. But I’m no longer sure how to cater for the general case. It’s too much to support all punctuation whilst at the same time as other contradicting rules. For example you cannot both support . in nicknames and then expect to be able to to end a mention with a . 🤦‍♂️

In-reply-to » I'll see if I can fix this and write a test case for what's going on here. I think this is made difficult now because folks like @eapl.me decide that it's okay to have a . (period) in their # nick 🤣 tbh I think nick(s) should have rules of what they can and cannot be comprised of. i.e: no punctuation 🤦‍♂️

@bender@twtxt.net Yes I know 🤣 It’s okay, we just have to build better parsers 😅

In-reply-to » @bender This story just reminds me of the couple of times we've paid for things in cash 💰 💲 and the stupid banks with the ridiculous "scam alert policy" ask you all kind of dumb ass questions about what you need the cash for 🤦‍♂️ One of these days I need an excuse to buy something that costs a few $k just so I can answer when asked, "what do you need the cash for?" to which my response will be "drugs and hookers of course!" 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net LOL 😂

There are 5 of such “Twters” on this pod that have periods in their nick 😢

sqlite> select count(distinct(nick)) from twters where nick like '%.%';
count(distinct(nick)) = 5
sqlite> select distinct(nick) from twters where nick like '%.%';
 nick = @marado@ciberlandia.pt

 nick = eapl.me

 nick = eapl.mx

 nick = grumpygordie.great-site.net

 nick = @chyrp.doesnm.cc

In-reply-to » Btw @andros ; The automated feed you put together for Hacker News... Does it at any point rewrite parts of the feed as it goes along? 🤔 I've had to unfollow it because I've found in practise it makes a twt, then seems to modify that same twt (observed by content manually) at least twice. This ends up becoming effectively an "Edit" and essentially duplicate (looking) posts 😢

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt Remind me alter 🙏
