Chinas Zwiespalt im Anti-Tabak-Kampf
Am Sonntag wird zum 39. Mal der Weltnichtrauchertag begangen. Eine nach wie vor schwer einzunehmende Bastion im Kampf gegen Tabak ist China: Ein Drittel bis die Hälfte der Männer rauchen, die rund 2,4 Billionen Zigaretten, die jedes Jahr in China verkauft werden, machen über vierzig Prozent des globalen Gesamtvolumens aus. Obwohl die gesundheitlichen Schäden enorm sind, geht die Regierung nur zögerlich gegen Tabakkonsum und -industrie vor – zu stark abhängig ist sie von den Einnahmen. ⌘ Read more

@zvava@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m not entirely sure about the spaces, but maybe they were omitted to simplify parsing of mentions in the form of @<nick url>. If the next token after the @<nick does not look like a URL, it’s not a mention but regular text. This is just wild guessing, though.
Looking at the regex and tests in the original twtxt reference implementation seems to confirm that theory in the sense as it relies on whitespace as the delimiter:

Another thing about nicks is that the original twtxt reference implementation converts nicks to all lowercase:

You probably know this already, the original twtxt file format specification can be found here: https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/twtxtfile.html
As for extensions, I don’t know of anything outside of twtxt.dev that has actually been (partially) implemented. However, there is also the issue tracker of the official reference implementation. You might wanna dig through that. For example, there is an alternative suggestions of multiline messages: https://github.com/buckket/twtxt/issues/157
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I use Alt+. all the time, it’s great. 👌
FWIW, another thing I often use is !! to recall the entire previous command line:
$ find -iname '*foo*'
./This is a foo file.txt
$ cat "$(!!)"
cat "$(find -iname '*foo*')"
This is just a test.
Yep!
Or:
$ ls -al subdir

(#2024-09-24T12:39:32Z) @prologic@twtxt.net It might be simple for you to run echo -e "\t\t" | sha256sum | base64, but for people who are not comfortable in a terminal and got their dev env set up, then that is magic, compared to the simplicity of just copy/pasting what you see in a textfile into another textfile – Basically what @movq@www.uninformativ.de also said. I’m also on team extreme minimalism, otherwise we could just use mastodon etc. Replacing line-breaks with a tab would also make it easier to handwrite your twtxt. You don’t have to hardwrite it, but at least you should have the option to. Just as i do with all my HTML and CSS.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m glad you like it. A mention (@<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt>) is also long, but we live with it anyway. In a way a replyto: is just a mention of a twt instead of a feed/person. Maybe we chould even model the syntax for replies on mentions: (#<2024-09-17T08:39:18Z https://www.eksempel.dk/twtxt.txt>) ?!

first marathon down. everything that could go wrong did. honestly i am just proud i did not quit. now i have to look at the run and figure out what i can tweak or add to my training. had a cramp start in my right quad at around mile 15. then around mile 18 both of my calves started to feel odd as if someone was lightly strumming my tendons. then they seized! this continued for the remainder of the marathon where i would walk then try to run and then stop when i had to. then during the entirety of the pace my nose would not stop dripping making it difficult to breathe. ha! also my shorts almost came down twice and i had to re-tie them while carrying my handheld water in my teeth. seriously, so many things i did not expect and had not happened in any previous runs.
really happy to be able to eat spicy food and have some alcoholic beverages again though!
