Just saw the CEO of Substack celebrating traffic from X/Twitter shooting up thinking they stopped suppressing tweets with links[0]. Actually, this traffic is because now any time you open a tweet with a link, the in-app webview loads in the background, and displays when you press the link.
I run an ecom store that gets a lot of its customers from Twitter. I was also shocked to see my traffic double or triple overnight and thought the algorith … ⌘ Read more

Social media is in a worrying state. TikTok in the hands of autocratic China, X (formerly Twitter) in the hands of Elon Musk, who gets crazier every day and hangs out too much with Donald Trump (and recommends a fascist party in Germany), and now Mark Zuckerberg with Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads) is also joining the group of friends around Trump and removing fact checks in the name of “free speech”. What could possibly go wrong? ⌘ Read more
I’m usually comfortable keeping my hardship to myself, most especially AWAY from the internet; an act of kindness of sorts towards others, “Everyone’s got their own problems to worry about” kind of thing.. But maaan am I starting to believe creating a twitter account would be a healthy decision 🤣🤦 Read nothin’ out there, just a one way echo chamber of sorts to let that shi_ out of my chest. It seem that’s what everyone else’s been using it for all this time.
A Bsky would be even better! 😂 I’d get to shi_ post and yap all I want, allll the way from terminal and never ever have to look back at it or whatever comes out of it. But I digress…
I FU_ing despise this … whatever this is. I wish I could just wake up in some sort of parallel universe where everything is just sunshine and rainbows, alas, life would be just as meaningless.
and sorry you had to read this if you did.

@eapl.me@eapl.me why not https://domain.com/.well-known/twtxt/:domain/:user ?
the business card test is this can you write it on your business card and have someone you give it to be able to figure it out without added context?
- phone number: yes because everyone knows what a phone number is.
- email address: yes, everyone knows an email and their aol or prodigy will let them email.
- twitter/x/insta/pintrest handle: no, whats a twitter? do i need to sign up?
- domain name: yes its simple and you just type it in a browser right?
- twtxt url: kinda? its a bit long and is that a forward slash? or a backward slash?
Btw about social: found very interesting thing about twitter:
The legal basis that X asserts in the filing is not terribly interesting. But what is interesting is that X has decided to involve itself at all, and it highlights that you do not own your followers or your account or anything at all on corporate social media, and it also highlights the fact that Elon Musk’s X is primarily a political project he is using to boost, or stifle, specific viewpoints and help his friends. In the filing, X’s lawyers essentially say—like many other software companies, and, increasingly, device manufacturers as well—that the company’s terms of service grant X’s users a “license” to use the platform but that, ultimately, X owns all accounts on the social network and can do anything that it wants with them.

给独立游戏制作人的进阶建议
感谢 @ComfyFinn 提供的封面图
之前我写过一篇给新手独立游戏开发者的入门级建议，经过三年的开发，对于独立游戏制作这件事我有了一些新的理解和看法，所以是时候补充一篇进阶级的建议了。如果你希望成为一个独立游戏制作人或者希望了解相关行业的部分知识，也许这篇文章会给你一些有用的帮助。
特别的，本文的内容更多的偏向于独立游戏制作人和小型团队，并不适用于所有的情况，所以在阅读时请注意保持个人的独立思考，对所有内容应仅当参考。
一.发展方向篇需要探索的第一个问题是独游发展方向的问题，本篇的核心主题其实只有一个，那就是独游和商业手游的区别。
1.1 独立游戏和商业手游的区别这里有一个很大的误导在于，对商业手游的解释，毕竟独立游戏也是需要赚钱的，部分独立游戏的商业收益甚至是非常可观的。所以它们之间最核心的区别并不在于营收能力，而是两者在立项时的指导 … ⌘ Read more
This might be quite unpopular, but I truly dislike Wordle. The reason isn’t rooted on any psychological issue, it is much, much more simple: people share their Wordle result(s)—I figure they feel good about themselves—and for me it is only uneven, unaligned, wasteful noise. I don’t even want to show you an example, but I am sure you know what I am talking about.
Thank gods those posting their hideous squares have finally quieted down. LOL.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk this makes sense as a quote twt that references a direct URL. If we go back to how it developed on twitter originally it was RT @nick: original text because it contained the original text the twitter algorithm would boost that text into trending.
i like the format (#hash) @<nick url> > "Quoted text"\nThen a comment
as it preserves the human read able. and has the hash for linking to the yarn. The comment part could be optional for just boosting the twt.
The only issue i think i would have would be that that yarn could then become a mess of repeated quotes. Unless the client knows to interpret them as multiple users have reposted/boosted the thread.
The format is also how iphone does reactions to SMS messages with +number liked: original SMS
