@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org the lone, defiant ranger, err, Azabache. I love this one!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Indeed. Very unpopular, though. I’ve long given up that fight at work.

In reality, there are too few real incidents. It doesn’t hurt enough. It’s always: “Something could happen!” But we’ve never been hit big time by an attack like this … so I just look like a paranoid idiot.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org they are taking over! All hail our birds overlords!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net Waaaahhhh, they’re coming closer to earth one kilometer every second!! They’re crashing right into us!

I didn’t know either that we send people to the moon again! :-O Cool. And bender witnessed this historic moment in person. Awesome! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Right now, Azabache’s daughter conquered the spot on the ridge.

@itsericwoordward@itsericwoodward.com Doesn’t matter if I use w3m or elinks. No, just kidding. Firefox 115. See also #47fl5jq.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de with the current regime, everything is, to put it politely, rather odd, and in disarray. They have yesterday’s window, otherwise the next one was on the 12 of April, or something like that. We knew it was going up for a few days, but we are used to that kind of thing, so it is not that super exciting any more. LOL.

Yeah, I saw it in person.

@bender@twtxt.net You saw it in person, I suppose? I watched the stream last night. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de pretty cool, thanks for sharing! We saw the rocket go up yesterday, but it didn’t occur to me to pull out the camera and take a shot until it was gone. I mean, the visible window is also quite short! 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That’s crazy! If you don’t mind me asking, what browser are you using when you see this?

@bender@twtxt.net Glad to hear it, I’ve neglected a Safari test thus far.

Thank you both for checking.

@itsericwoordward@itsericwoodward.com That’s a nice collection. :-)

It made me look at my single frisbee, that was last used maybe 8 years ago, possibly more. I immediately found it in the drawer I thought it was in. And alongside some other stuff I was unsuccessfully hunting for for literally months by now. Thanks, mate! ;-)

Hopefully, my good headlamp also reveals itself at some point in time.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Thanks for clarification. I already thought something along those lines. Wow, so, you can really mix different encodings in a single file, crazy. My Perl experience is limited to maybe 10, 20 or at the very most 30 written lines of code over the decades.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Thanks, I’ll keep this in mind in case I’m ever around your neighborhood. ;-)

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org wow, it has been a while since I saw Fossil. I am surprised it is still around!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org For reasons I can’t fully explain, we have a bunch of courses in the area, most in public parks (they integrate nicely since they can be built with the existing landscape, only adding some yellow baskets, concrete starting pads, and maybe signs).

In my experience, the main difference between a disc golfer and a frisbee thrower is that the disc golfer will often have a bag full of different shapes of discs (including drivers of varying ranges and/or putters). Even in my small bag, I’ve got some long range drivers (a Beast, a Cheetah, a Valkyrie, and a Wraith), my aforementioned MRV (Mid-Range Vector), an ultralight Aero (which feels similar to a “standard” frisbee), and 2 “rubber” putters (softer plastic, less “bouncy”).

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks, and you are correct: MRV stands for Mid-Range Vector (I think) as it is a stable mid-range driver (it says so on the disc):

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Thanks! To be clear, my contribution was literally adding that sentence to the documentation, after other people did the work.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Congrats! That’s no small feat.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oops, I guess the new text is a bit obscure. If you follow the link, the text is a bit more explicit, but you still need to know what a lexical scope is. Anyway, this is part of Perl moving very carefully toward being UTF-8 by default while also not breaking code written in the 90s. If you name a recent version like “use v5.42;” then Perl stops letting you use non-ASCII characters unless you also say “use utf8;”. The “lexically” part basically means that strictness continues until the next “}”, or the end of the program. That lets you fix up old code one block at a time, if you aren’t ready to apply the new strictness to a whole file at once.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org how odd! I can’t replicate. 😩

Congratulations, @falsifian@www.falsifian.org! I don’t even know what “lexically enabled” means.

@bender@twtxt.net Hahaha, I love it! :‘-D Rolls right of the tongue.

@itsericwoordward@itsericwoodward.com @bender@twtxt.net Haha, same. Neither did I come across disc golf before. Who knows, maybe I just confused these people for regular frisbee players. But it’s been literally years, if not decades, that I saw people throwing disc shaped objects.

@bender@twtxt.net Hehehe! :-D

And a tiny, tiny bit of snow and hail again this arvo. Almost nothing. Right now, the sun is out.

@itsericwoordward@itsericwoodward.com @bender@twtxt.net Well, even hard-reloading doesn’t change anything. I also just noticed that hovering over the tab title makes it completely invisible. In contrast to the buttons, here, the text color is exactly the same as the background color:

https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/screenshot-2026-03-31-17-22-51.png

Since I prefer the light theme, that’s no big deal for me. 8-)

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com today I learned about “disc golf”. I had no idea that existed. I am assuming the “MRV” is a model/brand for a disc? Any physical activity is good, specially one you enjoy!

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org that’s it, you ought to call your next child 2aea97bf3f5c2ea62cf5e701858694b7378ed58c! :-P

For what is worth, I am not experiencing what @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org described. Tested with Firefox on Ubuntu, and Safari on macOS.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks (again) for the heads-up!. I’m not sure why you were seeing black text, but I just pushed a new version of the library (v0.10.1) with some updated colors in the demo’s themes (which should hopefully address the contrast issues).

The dark mode was an aesthetic choice by a designer with a strong preference for dark mode (and who thought the maroon looked better as a background color), but in the interest of being supportive of my audience, I added a localstorage-backed memory to the theme toggle (so when you turn it to light mode, it should remember for future visits).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL.

@quark@ferengi.one

talk next to nothing

I could rant about AI a bit and how it ruins every day at work, if that helps? 🤣

@quark@ferengi.one Ta-tah 🥳

@movq@www.uninformativ.de cd ~/jenny && watch -n 25 git pull. :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yay! Time for a new jenny release, then. 😊

@itsericwoordward@itsericwoodward.com Nice. I just wanted to let you know that the black text color on nearly black button background color in the twtHash tab is basically unreadable. I’ve no idea why the dark theme is preferred over the light one in my browser anyway. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @itsericwoordward@itsericwoodward.com @prologic@twtxt.net These are excellent news! \o/

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com pretty cool!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks for the heads-up.

It lead me to publish an updated version of twtxt-lib (v0.10.0) which supports the v2 hashing algorithm: https://twtxt-lib.itsericwoodward.com/

@prologic@twtxt.net 🥰

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org This is good! 💪 Let’s merge this.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de that’s it, fork it!. I am forking vim. :-D

@zvava@twtxt.net rooting for it, and you! As soon as there is a stable (no future truly breaking changes) working alpha (can post, can follow, can reply), I will give it a spin! And yes, I understand the contradiction of “stable” and “alpha”; hoping my meaning comes through, LOL.

@bender@twtxt.netso..here is where the roadmap is at right now lol. the prototype itself is solid i could just be doing everything wayyy better

@kiwu@twtxt.net that’s exactly right. Pretty niche, occasionally exuberant. 🤭

@prologic@twtxt.net :D

@zvava@twtxt.net 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

@zvava@twtxt.net how is that client coming along? “/me gently pushes zvava towards a working desk” 😂

@bender@twtxt.net @thecanine@twtxt.net hoping for this to backfire and have shizuku or something like it to become way more popular, as it utilizes adb which is excluded from this “advanced workflow”

@bender@twtxt.net both, but neither directly. I know every workaround there is, including those used by developers, to test apps, while working on them. However if “sideloading” becomes so tedious, even the more technical users, cannot be bothered to do it, competing appstores and independent developers, not wanting to send their money and ID to Google, loose users at such rate, they likely won’t be able to justify continuing to maintain their projects, people like me rely on.

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net That sounds great! I, too, have taken Friday off work. But I’m slaving away again at the move of one of my best mates.

@prologic@twtxt.net must be nice. Congrats! I am happy for you! 😂 Off jesting, enjoy mate! The rest of us will continue slaving ourvselves. 😅
