@prologic@twtxt.net So many people calling this thing “he” and saying things like “I had a discussion with him” or “he explained his reasoning”, it’s mind boggling. Nobody even questions it anymore.

@bender@twtxt.net (The original author calling it out would be this link: https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/327)

@bender@twtxt.net exactly! 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net LOL. Best test ever: if it doesn’t work out, walk a few steps to complete comfort. Win-win!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oh god, make it stop!

Recently the guy maintaining chardet changed its GPL license to MIT because “it is a complete re-write” (by AI, of course). It was called out by the original author. Changing the license is something the current maintainer wanted to do for long time, getting nos, and nos then. That didn’t stop him 12 years later.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oh yeah, we have heard plenty. The re-entry boom of the shuttles (when they were in service) and, more recently, of the SpaceX rockets boosters. Depending on weather conditions we might hear a lot, or nothing at all.

I will try capturing a “regular” launch as I see it from home one of these days. It is a curved white, blueish line in the sky, with a big, incandescent tip (the actual rocket burners, and boosters). Pretty cool sight.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh dear god have we lost our way 🤣 I mean seriously?! Can we no longer think for ourselves? This isn’t even “AI Slop” this is just poor pathetic lack of discipline 🤦‍♂️ – And, frankly, no leadership.

@kiwu@twtxt.net A backwards MP3? 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Must be crazy living this close to the rockets. 🤯 Have you ever heard anything (not just this one)? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net I see. Other shot is also quite colorful.

Here is a different view.

@javivf@adn.org.es it was caused by the Falcon 9 rocket launch.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org not a peep, just the visual. The little, almost white, dot and the bottom of the “drop” moved very slowly.

@bender@twtxt.net Uuuhhhhhh, this looks incredibly nice! Did you hear anything or was it just a visual thing?

So, this happened this morning:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, right! I just looked at it. It’s bright. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hurray!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Today is full moon, did you catch it? 😃

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks, mate! These catkins are truly wonderful. So soft and fluffy to the touch. I love ‘em. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org as I a simple person (but with great artistic acuity, and humbleness 😂) I am, number 04 is my favourite of all. Nice clicks, all!

@kiwu@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net Thank you! 🙏

Ta, @shinyoukai@yume.laidback.moe. There are plenty of third-party libraries implementing XDG directories properly. My point was that the Go stdlib half-assed this.

@prologic@twtxt.net Lol, that huge, lit-up branding.

The magpies approve of the caravan, too. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That’s the plan!

@prologic@twtxt.net Happy camping, mate! That’s a giant rig. Don’t forget to snip one or the other pic from the landscape. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net congrats! That’s why you were so quiet. And now it will even get quieter, when y’all start camping all over Down Under. We lost James! 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Indeed 😂

We got at our new van!!! 🥳

@prologic@twtxt.net well, it isn’t rocket science, is it? 😅 Yet, without using the hashes and starting to follow people, it is very, very rudimentary. I know, I know, there were a couple of years during which people lived just fine without those. Yet, once you get used to certain things, there is no going back.

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me You need to use the RFC3339 format. I would recommend you read the specs at https://twtxt.dev – This is what is used by many moden clients these days 😅

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me But I am gad you at least have figured out how to have a feed description and avatar, that’s always nice 👍

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me You also minimally need to be calculate message hases at some point, if you want to form threads that is (copying existing ones is easy) 😅

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me right, timestamps are RFC3339, so something like this: 2024-09-29T13:30:00Z

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me writing it by hand is good, but without checking your server logs to see if someone is following your feed, and interacting with them, you are simply tossing bottles into the sea. That, of course, isn’t a bad thing per se, if it is the intent. :-)

@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh, that brings back memories! I’ve played minetest one and half centuries ago. Some classmates and I tried to recreate our computer science building at the time. The proportions didn’t work out, but it still kinda worked. Minetest was one of the very few games I played a bit more extensively.

Weird. My timestamps are all being shown (on https://twtxt.net and https://darch.dk/timeline) one hour ahead of what I expected. Am I manually writing my timestamps wrong? Are the clients interpreting something I’m not aware of? Let me write this one on the “Z” timezone to try to debug it.

Someone on #twtxt or #yarn.social on IRC told me to use a client that supports extensions and replies. Uhh… Client? I’m writing my microblogging by hand! (Hides in a very weird mix of pride and shame)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nope, sorry. 😞

@bender@twtxt.net Don’t worry, I also stole it (from a coworker). 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net That’s not what tehy really want at all 🤣

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me Hello there 👋

@bender@twtxt.net I see. Well that’s not how I think of the term “Isomorphic” 🤣 I keep thinking about graphics and isomorphic games 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL. I don’t think I ever told you, but I stole that emote (gestures broadly) long ago. :-D
