In-reply-to » I have the feeling, that I have come to a dead end with my first version of the TwtxtReader. That's why I'm stopping the project and starting again. But of course, everyone is welcome to take a look at https://github.com/upputter/TwtxtReaderMK1

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I think that by “starting again” they meant “starting over”, as in, completely dropping it, and starting with a blank slate.

In-reply-to » I heard that congratulations to Germany are in order, is that right? If so, congratulations!

@prologic@twtxt.net they had elections, and conservatives won (the dreaded AfD didn’t take majority, and most likely will not be forming coalition with the winning party). Not a perfect outcome (that never happens), but it could have been much worse, I think.

Maybe @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org and/or @movq@www.uninformativ.de can expand.

In-reply-to » Does anybody know a right mouse click save and reduce a screen saver image to a smaller file, say 50KB? My usual method is slow, place in image program and re-save it smaller.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it depends if you already have the needed libraries, and auxiliary packages installed. If you do, then a few hundred MiB, for sure.

In-reply-to » The Americans are spreading links to sites with European alternatives for popular services, yet here I am, scheduling appointments with the construction workers over WhatsApp.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de not at all. Almost everyone I know uses an iPhone, so Messages is the standard. Many others simply use Facebook Messenger.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org and by „install[ing] the package “imagemagick”“ you mean installing a multi-GiB set of tools and libraries. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I cannot start to tell you how much I despise WhatsApp, but if I want to keep in touch with family and friends in Europe, I am forced to use it. WhatsApp use is pervasive in Europe.

In-reply-to » On my hit list of assholes tech giants that break the rules and are bad web citizens:

Let me see how mine come out:

  • This is the first bulleted line.

In-reply-to » After submitting a correction for Apple Maps when they got the name of the Gulf of Mexico wrong, I wrote a letter to Investor Relations: http://a.9srv.net/b/investor_relations

@twtxt.net@twtxt.net just being real. I will do it because I feel it’s my duty. As Anthony said on his letter, it isn’t about a silly name, but blindy abiding.

@a.9srv.net@a.9srv.net I don’t think it will have any impact, but it is the very least we (investors, and/or customers) can do. I will do the same.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev it seems your GtS has issues:

Warning! It looks like trusted-proxies is not set correctly in this instance’s configuration. This may cause rate-limiting issues and, by extension, federation issues.

If you are the instance admin, you should fix this by adding 10.66.66.1/32 to your trusted-proxies.
