@prologic@twtxt.net ha! If you lived in the lightning capital of the US you would do it too! 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it seems you don’t have a decent UPS with surge protection. Invest in one! We have one everywhere there is a constantly-used valuable appliance in the house, including refrigerator.

Thank you very much, everyone!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de ay ay ay ay ay! Don’t envy a bit on that one. I assume the software you are forced to use is proprietary, and very specific?

@prologic@twtxt.net thanks mate! I am trying to isolate, wearing masks at home, and washing hands constantly, to see if kid can be spared.

I am supposed to come to office today, but I have caught the same cold bug wife has had for the last three days, so I am staying remote to spare cube-mates. Nose stuck, dripping, and a general slight sense of malaise is what I am feeling right now.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de we had one of those at the beginning of the pandemic, when everyone was sent home. It truly was painful. Now we are having another university to evaluate our processes, and procedures; not much security based, but still a pain.

@prologic@twtxt.net that would only be logical! :-)

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com two years after! LOL. Also, I put down $50 (USD) that OP will never see these replies. The one you replied to used the gemini protocol, and I don’t think it is up on its end. OP last twtxt was 2023-01-04T10:40:10+01:00: https://jdtron.tilde.team/twtxt.txt

Never mind, figured out that yarnc post - is the way to do it. Thanks code!

Can I use yarnc to post directly to twtxt.net from the terminal? Let’s see. Aha! I can. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net, how do I post from the terminal, using yarnc non-interactively? Tried something like:

echo "This is a test." | yarnc post

And it didn’t work—it seems it wants to open an editor.

@prologic@twtxt.net and I believe he is an “Open Web Lead” at Automatic, and working on the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress. The theme he uses is his own. Anyway, moving on…

Just found a pleasant way to wade through meetings: listening to Puccini’s “La Bohème”. Glorious!

@prologic@twtxt.net a thing, a thing! I mean, the amount of information the OP brought speaks for itself, right, right? 🫢😅

@prologic@twtxt.net “it’s a thing!” 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de it is all in the context. When referring to computers, if the person uses Microsoft Windows, then colloquially the user “is on Windows”, for example.

For PowerPoint is simpler, as nothing else is called that way, nor have the same spelling. But yeah, similar to “gonna grab a Coke”. It is intrinsically embedded in the language.

Google:

I often wonder what it must be like for native English speakers to use all these so-called brand names. “I use window 11! This is a KraftPoint presentation. I got the code for this script from the idiot turnstile.” All that sort of thing.

🤣🤣🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I figure the same as for non-native. LOL. All translation services are doing a poor job at translating your twtxt. 😭

Absolutely lovely. 🫢

@mckinley@twtxt.net not a problem, but I don’t want to see it. When I get to see it constantly, without following it, then it becomes a problem. Blogs being echo chambers do not bother. They don’t “come to me”. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de hahahaha! Accurate, 100%. 😩

@movq@www.uninformativ.de pfff, your code is “break-proof”! All looking good, so far. 😊

I have been up, and ready to go for hours. Partner is still in bed. She takes such a long time to wake up on weekends! Past noon already, and we need to get food for the elders, and come back to tidy up things to get ready for the next weekly cycle.

Ugh! Where did the weekend go?!

@dfaria@twtxt.net well, your “original twtxt” is an example of anything, but social. It is more like an echo chamber. If I am going to follow someone, I seek interaction. Language isn’t a barrier, lack of engagement is.
