Ah git-bug! Ive chatted with the creator when he was working on the graphql parts. Its working with git objects directly sorta like how git-repo does code reviews. Its a pretty neat idea for storing data along side the branches. I believe they don’t add a disconnected branch to avoid data getting corrupted by merging branches or something like that.

In reply to: chreke’s blog - Little Languages Are The Future Of Programming

The idea is that as you start to find patterns in your application, you can encode them in a little language—this language would then allow you to express these patterns in a more compact manner than would be possible by other means of abstraction. Not only could this buck the trend of ever-growing applications, it would … ⌘ Read more

Dino: Stateless File Sharing: Source Attachment and Wrap-Up

Stateless file sharing (sfs) is a generic file sharing message which, alongside metadata, sends a list of sources where the file can be retrieved from.
It is generic in the sense, that sources can be from different kinds of file transfer methods.
HTTP, Jingle and any other file transfers can be encapsulated with it.
The big idea is that functionality can be implemented for all file transfer methods at once, thanks to … ⌘ Read more

I’m quite curious about this “Ghosts from the Library”. Medawar edits the collection “Bodies from the Library” (which I recommend) and this idea of going through old newspapers to recover serialised stories or finding never published before ones is quite appealing.

@tkanos@twtxt.net user in question had posted information about someones employment in what appeared to be a threat to contact their boss.

@movq@uninformativ.de Do you know how I would find people that reply to my posts or replies or even mention my users? Prologic tried to contact me and unless I found him on the yarn pod then I would not know he exists and wants to talk to me. The user agents would work but I don’t know if I can view my web server logs from codeberg pages and I don’t know how to monitor my logs for mentions. What about the way yarn does it by added people you follow to your twtxt file and having friends of friends like yarn does it be a thing for jenny. Just an idea

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org hah! I cut some out to fit into my pods 4k limit.

Yeah that does studder a bit. To be honest I have no idea what I was thinking there. This excerpt was written a good year ago.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, if not exactly what I’m after, I get new ideas and hints for a refined next search attempt. I haven’t posted anything either, I’m just reading existing questions and answers.

The hardest technical solutions are right in front of your face.
Nassim Taleb had this old anecdote of the sheer absurdity that while the suitcase and other bags had existed for lifetimes, it was only in the 1990’s that people had the idea to put wheels on the things so they didn’t have to haul them around airports all day with their strength.

It reminds you of the fact that while children in the Incan Empire did indeed have some toys with wheels, apparently no one thought to use the wheel to make a simple … ⌘ Read more

I might be in the minority on this, but given what small Web projects like Gemini aim to achieve, I don’t like the idea of establishing standards for Gemini capsules purely for the purpose of aiding automation.

it’s funny, conditional on AGI (and perhaps also WBE?) not doing us in, i’m pretty bullish on this century. bio seems much less of a problem, and everything else is basically a-okay, especially with people becoming richer and needing to fight less. most other collapse narratives sound pretty unlikely (though prepping is sitll a good idea! you should have three months of food & water at home)

Peter Saint-Andre: Philosophies and Ways of Life
In his book What Is Ancient Philosophy?, Pierre Hadot almost singlehandedly resurrected the ancient conception of philosophy as a way of life.

Things were very different in antiquity. No university obligations oriented the future philosopher toward a specific school; instead, the futur … ⌘ Read more

If Subject contains the full twt, then you can skim over conversations just by reading those lines in mutt’s index pager

Yes, I do the same, true.

So I decided: Okay, let’s have mutt do it.

And Mutt does it well. I agree it was/is a good idea.

The subject lines are already “compressed”

I noticed, yes.

I am not sure why I asked to begin with; in retrospect, in was a silly request. Perhaps the OCD in me got triggered while viewing rich headers, on a specific twt, when I saw the huge subject line that is, otherwise, always hidden.

Anyway, don’t mind me, move along. 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net Would that allow screensharing? The idea is to screenshare.

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