Grab this one and enhance it, @prologic?

Someone in the neighbourhood is ready!

Less than 30 minutes for Path of Exile II, and the queue of players waiting for the servers to open the gates is now at 22,525. More than 1 million have purchased the early access to the game. It is going to be a rough ride!

If there a name for those of us who dislike AI generated imagery, or for the dislike of AI generated imagery in general? A composite German word would do! :-)

Anyone around is thinking, or planning, to play “Path of the Exile II”?

@prologic to interact with locally running LLM, which software are you using? LM Studio, or Ollama, or...?

Such a sweet deal this one is: https://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-13-inch-Storage-Midnight/dp/B0D68TBMS5?th=1

This video is quite lengthy (almost 3.5 hours long), but really worth watching.

If John Mastodon feats are spoken about on Mastodon, Marie Twtxt is our heroine!

@prologic, editing the profile in any way (and saving it, of course) is stripping out the \u2028 from the description. Also, could the description field be changed to a textarea instead? Preferably to one who will "understand" new lines, and convert them to \u2028 automatically?

I don’t think calling the various PHP files making up “Timeline” a “Yarn pod” is accurate.

I share my location from my iPhone using “Find My” app with friends and family. I also have a family share, with immediate family.

Even since upgrading to iOS 18, and every once in a while, the location of someone sharing with me gets frozen in time. I see them, but their location doesn’t change for hours. In the case of family share, I can see their device up-to-date, under “Devices”, but they show frozen on the “People” tab. Only way to fix it is for either of us—it doesn’t matter who—to stop sharing, and start sharing again. That has happened to me with three different people, and to three different people, with others (not me).

Is anyone using iOS 18+ experiencing something similar? I have sent feedback to Apple.

"Designed by Apple in California" stopped being sold in 2019. It sold for $199, and $299 (two sizes). Check the eBay pricing on that link, if you want to know the selling price today.

Portion of the modified Twitter TOS that goes into effect today (it's on right now), as summarised (ironically) by Google's Gemini:

"In simpler terms, this means that when you share your content (like text, images, or videos) on the service, you're giving the company permission to use it in various ways. They can copy, modify, distribute, and even use it to train their AI models. This includes sharing your content with others and using it on other platforms. You won't be paid for this, but using the service itself is considered enough compensation."

@prologic, the new line character. \u2028, is no longer being rendered right on the description metadata.

I have grown used to, and to love, the Ubuntu font. It is highly legible.

@prologic, are you running Ollama on your Mac Studio? How much RAM does it have? How does it performs with 7b, and 13b models?

I have noticed that Yarn (here) will not take some emoji. At least, will not take some under iOS.

Alright. I am---actually, "we" are---out for the next couple of days. Do me a favour and stick some needles on that orange voodoo doll you got---make one, if you don't!

@prologic, I don't know if you will notice that the first line on the block below has a slight indentation:

First line.
Second line.
Third line.

I believe this, on CSS, is causing it:

pre>code {
    padding:0 .25rem;
}

OMG! https://www.apple.com/mac-mini/

iOS 18.1 is out. It brings the beginning of Apple Intelligence.

I find it ironically amusing when people leaves twtxt, which anyone can, or could, read (no needs for sign ups, etc.), and move to Twitter. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Need more peeps in my clan. Anyone around playing Diablo IV? 😂

Wouldn’t this also apply to C, and Assembler, to mention two? https://registerspill.thorstenball.com/p/glad-i-did-it-in-go

How, this is some funny easter egg: https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/man-db.git/commit/src/man.c?id=002a6339b1fe8f83f4808022a17e1aa379756d99

Oh boy... Eugene Rochko's status. And what a flashy name, "Social Web Foundation". See the "industry support" header on that page. Don't like it one bit.

"You have reached a non-working number at UPS [...]" says the recording. If it is a non-working number, it wouldn't even ring, right? It should have said "You have reached an outgoing calls only number at UPS [...]", or better yet, route outgoing call only numbers to the one we should be calling instead. Problem resolved.

It bothers me that some tools (namely bat) do not come with their own man pages. I think it goes against the Unix philosophy.

With so many messenger apps, why would anyone use Telegram? 🤯

Something’s broken.

Brisbane is coming onboard. Roosters are "singing" all around @prologic, and the dog is begging for the morning poo/pee walk. @prologic throws a slipper at the dog, as he turns around, and hides under his comforter.

😂😂😂

Now the wait starts. 😩😂

Getting ready for the Apple Event. Are you watching it live, @prologic, or afterwards? :-P

This happened yesterday:

The first give away is the sender, sendgrid@autovitalsinc.com. Not Sengrid. Now, check the URL on the link provided to check the account activity:

https://u906946.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=u001.eXk7eIEvNT22LuyWQ0fseoc5VY1jItvxPoavh2wfNVs292YMzvTAPj5D6nek1U6K7UfW_AsM5Hq3TBeAGlZrT-2F3g23iWCcJRPGZ-2B58DJxpgMgOTjgWklNQiAdGiHqmR6FFVhfWZJhnu1PSRslMuKGg1XNZs5e1lGu8kmdKhv7otlghl6qLMXiiXYZcvaUB5NruWwSBFcLdvi31NY-2Fru5oyrcrugm2iLYA0u5TiufyvA7SNTo3sDHx6WtS-2FmfEyN2svb9k1S4QGRFhuDseidMiFm0f9Q-3D-3D

I was curious, so I follow it on my dedicated VM for these kind of things. It took me to a page looking exactly like a Sendgrid login, with a sendgrid.net URL. Upon entering yourmotherisahamster@gmail.com, as username, and yourfathersmellsofelderberries as password, it sent me to https://screenprank.com/gandalf/.

It was well done. This morning the same link renders a blank page with a "Not found" link that takes you to a 404. Hmm...

Weird, this just happened. It went away on page reload.

Serious open (for anyone) question: what makes you follow someone on twtxt? Will you just follow anyone that you come across, simply because that someone using the "decentralised, minimalist microblogging service for hackers" microblog?

Hey, @prologic, allow the <u> tag, maybe?

I figure most of you might have seeing this, but nevertheless: https://departuremono.com/ is awesome!

Testing this. I will break this thread purposely, to see how to handle it under neomutt. I have now edited this one. Let's go!

Wow, these are nice machines! https://tinygrad.org/

Because I saw the nick on movq (@prologic, can't mention anyone outside this pod, by the way), I looked the user up: https://tilde.pt/~marado/twtxt.txt. I wonder if the "hashes" they are using will work out of the box with jenny.

Talking about jenny, going to play with the latest now. Tata! :-)

After four of these I am starting to feel really good. 🤭 Cheers!

Why so many Linux distributions come with Gnome as their default desktop environment? What makes Gnome so great? It has been a resource hog, in my experience.

@prologic, does this rings a bell to you? 159-196-9-199.9fc409.mel.nbn.aussiebb.net

Came across YTCH yesterday, and it is very addictive. Simple, and well done. You can host it yourself if you want. The trick I haven't figure out yet is how to create the list.json that drives it.

@prologic, do you self host OIDC? If so, which one?

@prologic, what makes your mention of my handle show differently like this?

Turns out it is pretty easy to run your own BlueSky PDS (personal data server). I am @david.collantes.me.

This is pretty cool! Hurrah, and props to the Germans!

"At a Berlin trade fair for sustainability, a new gadget caught Waltraud Berg’s eye — a solar panel small enough to be easily installed on the side of a balcony and then plugged into a wall socket to feed energy produced by the sun directly into her home."

Complicated nation is an understatement.

Something that showed this morning, after clicking "Discover".

So, @prologic, show us that truck, don’t be shy! 😊

Congratulations to the British for getting rid of the Tories tyranny, and electing the forward thinking Labour party! 🥳

This is a test. I am mentioning @prologic. I will then edit this same post (to correct a misspelling), and see what happens. I will copy this original block to refer to it on the follow up.

I didn’t know this was a thing. Well, local home improvement store believes so.

Something odd I have been noticing. Occasionally, when I come to twtxt.net on mobile, the keyboard comes up but there is nothing to type. There is some code left behind from the old onfocus that’s causing this, I gather.

These are my goals in life: https://github.com/dylanaraps

He is neofetch main developer/maintainer. Archived all repositories, and updated GitHub's profile README file to read "Have taken up farming." 🥳

What’s your Matrix handle, @prologic?

Noticing that, after login in, I need to do a hard refresh on the browser to get my preference setting (dark mode to show). Not a show stopper, of course, but something to look at on idle time.

I am seeing the “Read more” on longer posts, but I don’t have that setting enabled. Possible bug?

I noticed it almost after it was implemented, but never mention it, and I kind of feel guilty for not doing it. Yarn's search became super helpful ever since commit 2199cedf12. Granted, it is not the full browsing experience I always dreamed for Yarn but, still, a huge leap forward.

I think it is long due to cut a release, don't you think @prologic?

While on mobile, navigating to Yarn.social automatically places me on the textarea, as if I was going to post something. Kind of annoying having that on-focus first and above all.

I just typed something that took me a while to enter, hit post, and lost everything because I was logged out. Can that be disabled? Let me be logged in for as long as I want (or for a very long time), unless I hit logout, or account for the previously entered text, and present it (or run the post action), after having to re-login?

Is it possible to run Yarn on yarn.example.com, but have the handles (or whatever we call twtxt's @usernames) be @username@example.com?

Tell me you are a boomer, without telling me you are a boomer: “I follow, and reply to, a Slashdot feed on Yarn.social.” 😂😂😂

Glitches squashed with glee, Smooth flow, code sings its new song, Works as planned at last.

Duplicate!

Every single twtxt duplicates now. Sorry everyone!

OMG! https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt

I just replicated the duplication of twtxts. To do so, simply click "Edit", wait for the textarea to come up with the post you are "editing", and navigate away. Done.

Something was done to twtxt.net that has destroyed mobile, at the very least. 🥳😬

@mckinley, what's your npub? Mine is npub1fzsnac6k335u7tmjmrhalyyp78ccq3t4vyx7m2zchafax2eeqaxqx3kj5s.

@dbucklin further test. It seems Yarn is very finicky.

@someone testing…

So, started following https://www.davebucklin.com/twtxt.txt, but there is no way to interact with him. Mentions will never come out right.

Is there something simpler, and leaner, than Gitea, which will allow me to see (as in read only) git repositories nicely on a web browser? Preferably a one-file-only solution, written in Golang.

Having slept for only 2 hours, I truly feel like, well, someone who has only slept 2 hours. 🤭 Can't wait for lunch time to take a small nap.

Today I learned about “eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher”, and one is coming my way from Amazon. 😂

This happens more often than I would like. 😢

I am supposed to come to office today, but I have caught the same cold bug wife has had for the last three days, so I am staying remote to spare cube-mates. Nose stuck, dripping, and a general slight sense of malaise is what I am feeling right now.

Can I use yarnc to post directly to twtxt.net from the terminal? Let's see. Aha! I can. :-)

@prologic, how do I post from the terminal, using yarnc non-interactively? Tried something like:

echo "This is a test." | yarnc post

And it didn't work---it seems it wants to open an editor.

Just found a pleasant way to wade through meetings: listening to Puccini's "La Bohème". Glorious!

I have been up, and ready to go for hours. Partner is still in bed. She takes such a long time to wake up on weekends! Past noon already, and we need to get food for the elders, and come back to tidy up things to get ready for the next weekly cycle.

Ugh! Where did the weekend go?!

Hmm... are replies broken?

I keep muting accounts here (twtxt.net), and they keep popping back on after some time. It is nuts. :-(

This was in 2022. Maybe by now consumption is higher?

I am replying again, just taping reply once. Once course, since I am replying to myself I don’t see my handle. For this one I tapped once on reply.

So, I found a few oddities while on mobile.

• From “Timeline”, I need to tap reply twice to have it fill the user’s handle being replied to.
• From “Mentions”, “Discovery”, and inside Yarns, I need to almost spam it, to have it fill the user’s handle being replied to.

That doesn’t happen while on the desktop.

Reply to “I’m starting to feel quite …” I am 100% on mobile.

Nope. 😩

Reply from Timeline.

Reply from timeline.

Brand new twt.

Go to “Discovery”, and tap reply to anything.

It isn’t. 😩

I just hit reply to the “Which I think I fixed 🤔” twt.

Reply isn’t showing the handle of the person being replied to.

Let’s see now. This is a fork off https://twtxt.net/twt/iuxyejq, picked from “Discovery”.

Yikes!

Remember I reply, normally, from “Discovery”.

Now trying the fork on this one.

Hmm, maybe isn’t working right.

This is awesome! (in bed, but having a hard time falling asleep tonight). 😅

I am still trying it, but I have to say—so far—nostr is a royal, and absolute, mess. As expected crypto bros everywhere, but also porn, all scams you can imagine, and more.

@xuu another headless twt?

@prologic I am not seeing some of my previous interactions. This one is an example: https://twtxt.net/conv/svvpd3a

The whole truth, nothing but the truth… 😂

What’s the German word that encapsulates “the feeling of unhappiness with current management”?

It sure feels good muting. I mean, I can’t deal with three Kevin. So muted them all. Ah, bliss!

A story in three acts. Here comes the first two.

Act One

Act Two

Act Three is still to come.

@darch, the “Settings” screen has issues as well. I can screenshot it and twtxt about it, but it is easier to see. Click on “Settings” and see the alignment of the three blue buttons, and width in comparison with the rest of the page. This on both, desktop, and mobile.

@jlj every service that you used to host, but Yarn, is pretty much gone (410). Are they really?

@prologic setting the "Start Page” to “Discover” does nothing. It is not working.

I heard Elizabeth Yarn was seeing with John Mastodon two days ago. I wonder what those two are up to.

@apptester OK. Lets see if I can prove something with this.

@kt84 wishing you a quick, and permanent, recovery! 🙏🏻❤️🌹

I have been mentioned before, in more than one occasion, yet:

The slight horizontal scrolling whilst on mobile is pretty annoying.
