Writing a “tweet” is low-friction, and the medium forces you to chunk out ideas into (mostly) self-contained thoughts.
I’m finding the microblogging format to be really useful for working out ideas.
@prologic@twtxt.net that would be an interesting idea. I think your current spec of using an SMTP proto is probably best for DM.
but having a federation of IRC servers would be interesting for realtime twt propagation.
@prologic@twtxt.net sounds about right. I tend to try to build my own before pulling in libs. learn more that way. I was looking at using it as a way to build my twt mirroring idea. and testing the lex parser with a wide ranging corpus to find edge cases. (the pgp signed feeds for one)
@prologic@twtxt.net the add function just scans recursivley everything.. but the idea is to just add and any new mentions then have a cron to update all known feeds
@vain@www.uninformativ.de i don’t think mastodon is a good idea but then again i never really understood the twitter format and its appeal, so there’s that.
Project idea: search for books that are most effective at converting people from one ideology to another, for any two ideologies.

@prologic do you have any info on how the '!' tags are supposed to work? are they just a different kind of hash tag?

@prologic@twtxt.net after stewing on it. I really like the idea of a wiki. throw it on the roadmap after DMs 😆
Would online dating without images lead to deeper, more human connections? I.e. only descriptions of people. If yes, is it different because of molochian reasons? More beautiful people have no problem showing their faces, so not showing ones face is seen as a low-status signal at some point. Counter: The idea of deeper, more human connections is in itself flawed, most mating choices are the result of a combination of class/status signals and physical attractiveness anyway.
@prologic@twtxt.net My thoughts on it being if they switched from a different way of hosting the file or multiple locations for redundancy..
I have an idea of using something like SRV records where they can define weighted url endpoints to reach.
@prologic@twtxt.net I have some ideas to improve on twtxt. figure I can contribute some. 😁 bit more work and it will almost be a drop in replacement for ParseFile
Kinda wish types.Twt was an interface. it’s sooo close.

i just realized i have no idea how to tag/mention someone else on this thing. i tried but i don’t think it worked?
a concept that’s organically grown with my !literate_programming efforts is this idea I call a !proof_of_thought #literate_programming #thoughtful
How would I improve RSS? Three ideas (Interconnected) ⌘ http://interconnected.org/home/2020/07/29/improving_rss
collecting my half-baked ideas over at !halfbaked
the idea would be to build and share tiny 6.5 bit programs encoded as printable ascii characters. this could then in turn be read by a virtual computer to do things like paint a picture or compose a piece of music. #halfbakedideas
@lucidiot@tilde.town very cool idea! may have to try something like that at some point…
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I think the idea is to minimise the spread from one customer to all customers, but also from a sick driver to you if the driver wears / changes gloves regularly and doesn’t handle the food too intimately.
#Ideas RSS to twtxt, Twitter to twtxt, jrnl to twtxt…
@lucidiot@tilde.town, thanks for the bug report. Does anybody have an idea for https://github.com/mdom/txtnish/issues/12?
@lucidiot@tilde.town haha why not :P But for now it’s all in personnal notes or drafts ^^
@lucidiot@tilde.town I had this idea. I can probably just set the gz header and send gzip. The request is ending up in a cgi script written in C, which assemples the response. I can do pretty much everything there…
I have trouble with a web crawler using the TOR network. It’s misusing the gopher proxy on my page. I don’t want to disable/block tor (that would be the easy way out). It’s permanently changing user agents and ignoring robots.txt. It ignores HTTP status codes. I’m currently serving it 4MB binary garbage in form of Link. It sucked in about 40GB of data now, but it doesn’t explode and keeps crawling. Any other idea about what to do with it?
@von@tilde.town: I stole the idea from a random webpage that listed a finger address for contact information. I would assume it’s pretty effective against spam ;)
@kas@enotty.dk: private twtxt file: Haha, could also be agood idea yeah :)
i just started using i3 (i3-gaps) on my laptop and holy shit this is so wonderful… i had no idea tiling WMs were so amazing but i’m never going back

Trendism is a complicated inversion of the aphorism ‘mediocre minds talk about people, and great minds talk about ideas’: we value most those who talk about whether or not people are talking about an idea.
Trendism is the idea that, in Dellio’s White Noise, when people photograph the Most Photographed Barn In America, they are not acting absurdly but creating net value for society.
