@movq@www.uninformativ.de @mckinley@twtxt.net Yup, some people do. I tried several times to figure out whether I also have some imaginary voice in my head or not. And I can’t really tell. My best bet is that it depends. Generally there is no voice or just a very faint one. For very complex stuff I think my brain plays some audio. But it’s very hard to tell. If I try to think about it, it feels super weird in my head.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net I just reread the spec and it seems to be even a bit outdated regarding machine-parsable conversation grouping. We long dropped the need to specify a whole hash tag with URL (#<hash url>), the simplified version without the URL (#hash) is enough.
The hash tag extension specification is kind of missing the same. However, I’m not sure if that short form is considered supported in general (as opposed to be a special case for subjects only) by the majority of the twtxt/yarn community.
Now the question arises, in order to keep things simple, should we even only allow the simplified twt hash tag for subjects and forbid the long version? This would also save quite a bit of space. The URL is probably not shown anyways in most clients. And if so, clients might rewrite URLs to their own instances. On the other hand, there’s technically nothing wrong with the long version in current parser implementations. And deprecating stuff without very good reason isn’t cool.

A fun little game: Pocket City
I’m generally not a gamer, playing computer games has never really fascinated me, I find programming more exciting.

I’ve noticed a gradient of skepticism about climate change, ranging from outright contradiction that it exists to debates about the specific measures needed to reverse acknowledged warming trends. Using the general term “climate change denial” to describe that entire gradient, and thus treating all forms of skepticism as equally ignorant, seems counterproductive to me.
