Fun fact: OpenBSDs vi does not support utf8. That’s probably the first time I haven’t just used the default system vi.

The thing that worries me about MovieBob’s ‘man thought’ pilot is that up until the last few minutes poe’s law is in effect way too much and it’s just indistinguishable from the shit he’s making fun of

Twitter’s new developer guidelines might end fun bot accounts. https://slate.com/technology/2018/08/twitters-new-developer-guidelines-might-end-fun-bot-accounts.html

I’d like to see less tech journalism that’s PR or PR-teardowns for companies, and more tech journalism that’s about strange technically-interesting things people do for fun that could never conceviably be productized.

‘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.

Dare to be Stupid: that time Weird Al tried to make fun of Devo and instead just became Devo

Another fun day at work. I’ll be glad when the day is over.

I think this week I’ll look at a bare bone PHP CLI for a twtxt client. Just for fun mind you

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I once had a fun day hunting down the phone number for a scraper. Really nice guy, just some script running havoc.

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net @kas@enotty.dk #twtxt’s quietness is actually something I enjoy about it. I care a lot more about signal-to-noise ratio than I care about the regular activity. It’s also a really fun thing to write clients for to play around with new libraries or languages.

@trqx@0x1A4.1337.cx write a fun numpop clone https://tx.god.jp/code/cnumpop/files.html. I got 590 points with the seed 1493407649, can anyone beat that? :)

@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx Uhm, cloning all projects i have starred would be fun…

https://github.com/sabotage-linux/sabotage looks fun.

@dave@davebucklin.com Thanks for posting about miniircds. Looks fun.

Ups, i did it again! I just started a new twtxt client in c, just for fun and to relearn a little c. https://github.com/mdom/txtio

@mdom@domgoergen.com mostly for fun, but once I have it working more it’ll get integrated into https://gitlab.com/technomancy/bussard.

Yeah, i don’t care much for the store bought substitues, but making them yourself is always fun.

@pelmel@pelmel.org Nice to see a new user! Have fun!

It would probably be fun to implement a #gopher interface for taz.de. I have to talk to our webmaster about that… :)

Let’s be honest, it seems to be impossible to use twtxt without adding new stuff to the client. So much fun.

Fun with data! The complete roster twtxt database can be downloaded at https://roster.twtxt.org/twtxt_20160405.sql.gz

And as luck would have it, #roster provides a websocket stream on ws://roster.twtxt.org/stream. Have fun!

We would have to write a new plugin for that. Which sounds fun… Do you have a have a receiver we can play with?

Yay fun
