@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net It’s seems that txtnish isn’t able to retrieve your twtxt file :/ I get the “curl: (6) getaddrinfo() thread failed to start”
My text editor failed to autocomplete like it usually does and now I’m left wondering if I introduced a syntax error or something that it can’t cope with.
@kas@enotty.dk It was released with 20191025 but 20191102 in Debian/SID seems to not be compiled with autocrypt support. Building the package myself fails and I don’t know what libs might be missing. :D
When all fails, rm ./package-lock.json and try again
Humanity is a failed alien terraforming op: Usually newly uplifted civilizations, with very little intervention after the initial seeding, reliably consume all the surface fuel and turn the place into a nice cool desert, and what’s left can be psionically reprogrammed
vat brains often philosophize over whether they’re actually brains in bodies but usually dismiss it as absurd, why should for example someone go the trouble of engineering the human body and all the world around it as opposed to vats, it just totally fails occam’s razor
I’m not sure I like how homebrew will try to build a package if the download fails. I don’t need a second go binary, really.
@tux0r@twtxt.rosaelefanten.org @gbmor@gbmor.dev So many options to increase the fail counter?
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org Did you intentionally tweet a lot of one word messages or did your twtxt client fail hard?
Hot take: gopher is not a failed attempt to invent the WWW, but its own crystallization of a coherent philosophy – to present jump links between text files, without all the other bollocks. That makes it as valuable today as it was 25 years ago.

@kas@enotty.dk I should have gone for the two-hour nap (to a first approximation, I can’t powernap). Ended up going to bed at 5 without having had a two-hour nap previously. Failed experiments are the price of knowledge, I guess.
This is an interesting take, but the author fails to note that the primary result of speculation is fantasy – i.e., price deviation from ‘natural’ value: https://meltingasphalt.com/wealth-the-toxic-byproduct/
Bad idea of the day: time lapse of just really failing to build and paint miniatures
Hot take: Cyberpunk only seems ‘prophetic’ because not enough has changed since the 80s to make it seem irrelevant, and this basically means that cyberpunk failed in its critical project by spawning insufficient praxis
Bad idea of the day: A full performance of Smoke on the Water built by remixing clips of people at Guitar Center failing to perform Smoke on the Water & random words spoken by people in Guitar Center
Hot take: the existence of entrepreneurship is an argument against rational economic actors, because most new businesses fail & the primary factor in that failure is luck.

@mdom@domgoergen.com: I’m using txtnish on FreeBSD and I had to switch it to gawk (not sure why BSD awk fails) and disable color. Just fyi. I didn’t look into it any further.
The very fact that ‘product’ and ‘consumer’ are often appropriate terms is an indication that we have failed to create a sensible world.
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org Uh, it is very unlikely an upgrade fails so hard it really needs an reinstall. What happened? Power loss?

‘It’s more fun to be a pirate than join the navy’ is accurate, but Jobs failed to mention that any BUSINESS is a navy in this metaphor. A small navy is at a disadvantage. Naval officers who act like pirates are called war criminals.

An effective way of torturing a civilization is repeatedly smacking it into a Great Filter with great speed, so a basilisk dungeon will look like a universe full of civs failing the Fermi Paradox

Too much computation in one place wears out the matrix, it starts failing near datacenters. Once-bustling tech hubs give way to glitch belts

@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de, @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net It’s a feature, i want to see what the rest of the world sees. In case publishing fails.
