In-reply-to » It’s ten thousand million degree celsius outside and I have to go to a birthday party today because wElL iTs My BiRtHdAy ToDaY, I think I’m going to die, send help.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It is horribly hot and humid here, and is not even 08:00. AC ran overnight for 3+ hours. It is going to be hellish, not going to lie.

Your birthday, or someone else’s? Either way, happy birthday! 🥳🎂 May many more years come, with good health… and less heat! ☺️

In-reply-to » I went to check on the fireflies this season. But I didn't see any. Instead lots of moths. At first, I thought it might have been still too light, but it was already dark enough for me to miss and destroy a snail shell. Bummer. Maybe it was too wet tonight. Although, it's probably just another or two weeks until my glowing friends will finally show up.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org the movie gives me a glimpse, not that bad. Thank you for capturing it, mate!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org take a small video, pretty please! I would love the see them shining in the fields! On the pics, 1 is mine, all mine! 🥰

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org having seeing, and played with fireflies as a child I envy you. We have none around here. Children have no idea what a firefly is. I mean, they do, but vague, and based on videos and telly.

In-reply-to » Well, that might work... https://codeberg.org/awful-systems/AAA-NO-SLOP.md 🤣

Yeah, I don’t subscribe to that point of view either. But we are a diverse bunch, there is bread for everyone.

In-reply-to » We’re at close to 20k hits now, but it has slowed down considerably. Nobody cares about page 2. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net I do! I paginate usually 10 times on HN. Their algo is so messed up (but it works, I guess) that not doing that will make me miss a lot of good, interesting, things.

In-reply-to » how r y'all doing?

I join the tired masses. So tired, I slept through my alarm this morning (something that hasn’t happened for over 20 years, easily), and wife woke me up asking “Aren’t you going to work today?” So yeah, I could have slept for a while more this morning, for sure.

In-reply-to » @bender … boom, 5500+ hits on that blog post. 🤣 Should I start monetizing this shit?! 🤪 (Don’t worry, I won’t. German law gets super annoying if you do that kind of thing.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL. At least now you know your infrastructure and web server can handle some traffic. Consider it a test, in addition to the fleeting recognition. 🤣

In-reply-to » Apologies to anyone who's seen an uptick in twtxt pings from me today... I've been working on shoe-horning my twtxt reader (TwtStrm) into my editor (TwtKpr, aka the express-twtkpr npm library), and it kind ran amok a few times. So again, sorry - I've added a minimum 10-minute cool-down period between pulls which should help (I hope 🙂).

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com noticed absolutely nothing. Happy developing!

In-reply-to » I rode my bicyle to the scout flea market setup a few weeks ago when I had to stop to admire the morning sun lighting up the fields. https://lyse.isobeef.org/morgensonne-2026-05-08/ Of course, these photos don't do justice at all.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I notice a theme here, but can’t quite place my finger on it… 🤭

In-reply-to » @bender Well no. Some of us don't. Let me point you at some research on the subject 😅 Some people don't have an inner monologue

@prologic@twtxt.net so, “people with no inner monologue—a condition researchers sometimes refer to as anendophasia”, says the AI. Then “it is not a disorder: lacking an inner voice is simply a different, perfectly healthy way of being human”. Ah, so a condition, but a healthy one. Got it.

Again, I am not talking about a true monologue. If you have never thought “OK, let’s do this!” before engaging on an activity, then alright. Weird, in contrast to the rest of us, hard to believe, yes, but I believe you. Much of the troubleshooting, and creativity that comes with thought involves, well, thoughts. Maybe you are closer to AI than the rest of us, indeed! 🤪😂

In-reply-to » @arne This is interesting. Sorry I missed this, I just found this post of yours and wanted to contribute 😅 Here's something interesting about me... I don't ever talk to myself, like ever. I have no, what they call, "inner monologue". Maybe I'm odd, but my wife asked me this very same question a while back and I said the same, there is never anything in my head except ideas, visuals or sounds, sometimes all at once, but never an inner monologue of "talking to myself".

It is not a monologue in the whole sense of it. But yeah, we all do.

@prologic@twtxt.net when you think, that’s you talking to yourself.
