“What are robot dogs actually being used for?”
Many people have seen the videos of Boston Dynamics with their robots. While watching the videos, I always wondered what the possible use cases for such robots (dogs) are? Just millitary? But now Tom Scott clarifies it with a new video: Hydroelectric power plant inspection for example! With the robots it is cheaper and easier to monitor the power plants centrally. ⌘ Read more

Telegram Ads
So Telegram now has ads. But unlike the ads from Google, Facebook or Apple, the ads are not personalized and much more privacy friendly. The ads simply consist of a maximum 160-character message with no external links and are displayed only in large public channels. ⌘ Read more

It will only use the nick of the person to whom you are replying, no the occasional never ending chain link of nicks. 😄

@prologic@twtxt.net
Kind of a pickle. I would say, if the user isn’t following the feed, then @something and @something@example.com doesn’t get linked.

@eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com
RSS links are archaic. Clients discover them if properly linked, they do not need to be human visible.

“I’m worried about humanity’s future.”
Via Nicholas Danes I came across the video of Arun Maini (Mrwhosetheboss): “I’m worried about humanity’s future”. In this he addresses some good aspects. It’s about the impact of technology on our lives, society and behaviour. For example, he talks about the fact that algorithms are increasingly trying to keep us in front of the screen for as long as possible, that echo chambers are creating more and more negativity, and that we may soon no longer be able to d … ⌘ Read more

I am noticing that Yarn doesn’t treat “outside” (that is, twts coming from a client other than Yarn) twts hashes right. Two examples:

• https://twtxt.net/twt/mwtnrna
  
• https://twtxt.net/twt/fl5dooq
  

There are many more, but those two will give you the gist. Yarn links the hash to the poster’s twtxt.txt, so conversation matching will not work.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de To clarify, Markdown is just text. 😊 I can do bolding, link things, and if single return multilines ever comes to jenny, I would be able to do bulleted and numbered lists.

The only things—that I know of—that doesn’t work is “> “, but I can use “>”, like so:

D’oh!

So, jenny allows me to write Markdown almost just fine!

@prologic@twtxt.net You linked to the German version. 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @movq@www.uninformativ.de, if you want/can I can send you a Zoom link to test it interactively!

This is pretty cool. I like the link idea. Gives me an idea about pining twits I think are important.

Trying to troubleshoot twtxt. On twtxt.net, discovery shows my follows linked to https://twtxt.netbros.com/, which is nothing (not even an index.html running there), while on arrakis.netbros.com shows my follows linked to https://twtxt.netbros.com/twtxt.txt (using yarns links too) which is right.

Let my guard down for just a second reading a blog post and I clicked a link to a Google document by accident. Narrowly avoided loading it.

By crawling a local copy my website, I found a blog post that still has links in the header to files that haven’t existed for months.

Bringing back old-school web pins and buttons
Back in the not-quite-as-bad-old-days (at least as far back as the 90’s), every good website had a small “ad” gif that fans of the site could use as a colorful link. These are called “buttons” or sometimes “pins.”

You can see sites that collect these internet artifacts (both the good ones and boring ones) here and here.

@prologic@twtxt.net Bug in your profile links: it’s repeating a segment. For example, your face tries to get to https://twtxt.net/user/https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt

Why is it so common for help sites of software projects to have no links back to the main site? I always have to change the URL manually.

@prologic@twtxt.net we would want:

• a way to reply to the current thread. We have this.
  
• a way to reply to a specific twt. Need this. Maybe make all the replies start new conversations?
  
• check if twt is start of a conversation.. we kinda have this in the main feed with the conversation button. need to extend it for forked convs
  
• a way to inline first replies. maybe show one or two in the sub thread with a link to view.
  
• for convenience have a link to parent conv?

@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net we could show first level inline like twitter does. With links for deeper discussion.

links -g is an underappreciated jewel.
