@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s becoming a bit ludicrous to be frankly honest. I’m not sure I can continue to justify these kinds of prices. But at the same time, I’ll probably stick with Apple regardless, even if I hate their exorbitant prices, and just buy their low-end stuff 🤦‍♂️ It is fucking crazy when you consider what these things are actually made for over in China or wherever they’re manufactured.

I am not fucking paying ~3.5 grand for a fucking phone, geez christ, kill me now 🤦‍♂️

Oh no, sorry I was wrong! That was the fucking US price 🤣

This is the Australian (AUD) price:

From A$3,499.00 or A$145.79/mo.

Fuck me dead 😵

iPhone Duo - Apple Sorry Apple™, I’m really finding it quite hard to justify spending thousands of dollar on your products!

From $1999 or $83.29/mo. for 24 mo.*

Fark me 🤦‍♂️ When it was just me and my wife, maybe, fine, okay. But now I have two young children that also want the same shit™ as we do. This starts becoming a nearly ~$8k expensve just for some fucking whoop-ti-do-da foldable iPhone with a bigger screen.

Who cares? 🤔 I want my ~A$800 iPhone back that fits in my hand. #Apple #Rants #Expensive #Crap

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Don’t worry, we’ll tell you rather loudly if your client is misbehaving or your feed is down 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is actually pretty cool! I like this one! ☝️

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Ahh it gets like tha sometimes 😅 the Twixt ecosystem is on purpose, deliberately designed to be very slow at times 🤣

⚠️ For anyone that signs up on Yarn.social’s multi-user twtd multi-tenant platform I’m runnign on twtpub.com – Be warned. I will delete your account if you create it for the soles purposes of link squatting, spam, link harvesting, seo marketing, or any other useless fucktarrd crap.

To the spammers and would-be assholes of the world: You have been wanred. Don’t abuse my generosity.

it’s all I ask

@david@daiwei.me No worries 😌

@david@daiwei.me ping me on IRC when you have a couple of spare hours 👌

@david@daiwei.me I think to @movq@www.uninformativ.de ’s point, we should probably just test teh specification itself no? 🤔

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com I plan to oj ly projects 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I kind of do need a couple of folk to test things with 👌– But i need to do some more testing myself first 😅

By industry i assume you both mean IT?

What’s going on in your neck of the woods (planet) 🧐

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com How about you? 🤔

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Doing okay 👌 Looking forward to my month off!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ahh, no you can. Much like what we’ve built here with Twtxt / Yarn. I’m building a spec, clients can implement the spec, or you can ya know, just curl and git your way through. I’ll link the spec soon™, just need to keep refining and testing and make sure this actually works properly 😅

gitxt is a purely decentralised git forge. There is no federation protocol, no instance-to-instance API, no accounts on other people’s servers. Each forge instance is fully independent; collaboration is an act of publishing and reading plain text files over HTTP

@fossham@twtpub.com I honestly think the most unique and interesting thing about doing this at all is that it is in fact inspired directly by Twtxt / Yarn.social itself – That is to say, I am confident I can do this in such a way as to be “truly decentralised”, no inter-networking like ActivityPub, no centraised forges like Github or Codeberg. You run your instance, I run mine, we just are able to collaborate. Think exchanging patches over Email, just without all the hard-to-learn ways to do that (enough though it’s not hard for some of us, but still).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So the way this works in my design/prototype is this. You fork my repo in the app, it clones it to your own forge, follows my instance and it’s repo for updates and ping my instance to indicate “you’ve forked me”. Then when you publish changes, I can see them by pulling your instance’s feed. It all works on the same plain text principles of Tstxt itself. The feeds are “pull”-based with push-based “pings” on things like “someone forked your repo”, “a new issue has been raised against your repo”, etc.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What if I told you there were in fact zero account(s) at all? And that you signed into your own instance or a multi-user instance with your own SSH key? 🔑 Hmmm? 🧐

@movq@www.uninformativ.de In the meantime tell me all your “wishes” and things you wish/want a good decent “pure” decentralised Git forge should do 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Good 😊

I am finally building a Twtxt / Yarn.social inspired Git forge. I’m actually quite confident that y’all will quite like it, but I won’t post links yet until I’m quietly confident in its design, functionality and behaviour(s).

Stay tuned 🤞 It’ll be like no other Git forge you’ve ever seen! 🤣 Actually, it’s already more like cgit than anything with plain text feeds that power it’s “pure decentralization” as you can no doubt imagine 😅 #twtxt #git #forge

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org All good 👍

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I am seriously rethinking and re-contemplating building a new Git forge of some description that avoids all of these stupid problems that we’re now seeing in the wild

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org if you’re looking for a great static site generator/publishing tool by the way have a look at my project ZS

@thecanine@twtxt.net some people in this world are just giant douche bags and complete sociopaths 🤯

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Maybe I’m using the wrong term, ya know, silos and bubbles and all that 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That depends. What do you mean by “The Internet”? 🤔 If you mean a bunch of large centralised sites where a majority of the world’s Internet traffic goes, then yeah, it’s boring as bat shit™ – Largely because of the concept (I think) of “confirmation bias”.

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org You should report the bug and hopefully get it fixed 🤞

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org Oh this is cool! 😎 It supports all v2 specs, nice! 👍

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org I haven’t heard of that client before? 🤔 Got a link to it? screenshtos? Should I add it to the Listed Clients? 🤔

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org Ahh if you’re using the ‘ol twtxt client from buckket, that thing isn’t really maintained anymore. I recommend you check out one of the clients listed on https://twtxt.dev or even just https://twtxt.app

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org What client are you using btw? 🤔 Does it support threads, and other v2 specs? 🤔

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org Hello 👋

Similar here 🥳 9 days then i’m off for 3 weeks. but really 20 working days!

@fossham@twtpub.com I hope you enjoy it 😅 You might want to update your Avatar and Description at some point in your settings 👌

@thecanine@twtxt.net LOL 😂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Haha 😆 Don’t temp me 😅

@jastas@twtpub.com Out of curiosity, was it hard to figure that out, or just familiarity with the app? 🤔

@jastas@twtpub.com That’s me! 👋 Haha 😆 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🙌

@fossham@twtpub.com Hey 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 👌

@smmbear@twtpub.com Hey 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 👌 Just in case you are not ware a) spam is not really tolerated by this community and b) doesn’t work anyway, you’ll just be ignored, and there are exactly zero ways to promote spam or advertise on this social system – on purpose.

I have to say. I’m really very disappointed in Microsoft. Not only did they buy out Minecraft the game, but they basically ruined it for every privacy conscious family, parents and their kids, who can no longer play the game without giving away personal identifiable information (PII) on my children that Microsoft have zero rights to. 🤦‍♂️ – Honestly… Fuck you Microsoft.

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net That set is the set of users that actually interact with one another. The “Twtxt” feed set is a bit larger, but mostly just “walls of posts” and little to no inteaction. So yeah, the real community is quite small sadly 😅

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com You weren’t/aren’t able to fin dmore open, less privacy evading “smartthings” ?

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net This is a good idea. I do something very simialr.

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com What kind of IoT devices are we talking about here?

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net I hear you! haha
