Temme about it! 🤪

@prologic@twtxt.net
Keep in mind that there are plenty of icons already there, it is a quite busy “neighborhood”.

@prologic@twtxt.net
Validating the mention will be consuming, no? I mean, right now it takes a bit when clicking on the nick of an external user. Also, discovery occurs mostly by mentioning, yes? It seems a hard problem to solve.

@darch@twtxt.net
It will only use the nick of the person to whom you are replying, no the occasional never ending chain link of nicks. 😄

@prologic@twtxt.net
Kind of a pickle. I would say, if the user isn’t following the feed, then @something and @something@example.com doesn’t get linked.

#BUG (or feature?) when I hit reply twtxt.net no longer fill in the @mention of the persons who’s post I’m replying to…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

We should be able to remove those subject hashtags, they’re just noise.

Yes! I would say they are not even needed on the web UI. You click conversations, and that’s done by Yarn. No need for humans to see it.

@prologic@twtxt.net
Yeah, it is kind of rubbish. 😬

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
Aha! Cool! Not just deleting, but proceeding as if the twt is going to be send. If I :q! on vi it will add an empty line. If, instead, I go :x like I normally do, it works as you said—and as I wanted it. Thanks!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de OK, I am on request/question asking mode today. 😋 How do you cancel a twt, or a reply to a twt? Say I hit my reply, and then I change my mind? Right now, even exiting vi is creating an empty line on my twtxt.txt. Is there an obvious way to cancel a twt, reply, or fork that I am missing?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

If Subject contains the full twt, then you can skim over conversations just by reading those lines in mutt’s index pager

Yes, I do the same, true.

So I decided: Okay, let’s have mutt do it.

And Mutt does it well. I agree it was/is a good idea.

The subject lines are already “compressed”

I noticed, yes.

I am not sure why I asked to begin with; in retrospect, in was a silly request. Perhaps the OCD in me got triggered while viewing rich headers, on a specific twt, when I saw the huge subject line that is, otherwise, always hidden.

Anyway, don’t mind me, move along. 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
I find sleeping while storming the best sleep, and we have hurricanes passing by, or near by, almost every year.

@prologic@twtxt.net
It is still too early, and too few of us. Give it some time, and your wife might revise her statement. 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net
Sounds like a good plan. It is, of course, up to the Master Crafter. 😋

@prologic@twtxt.net
Jenny populates Mutt’s subject with the entire twt. That makes for very, very long subject lines.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de would it be possible to trim the subject to, say, 100 or 140 characters? Just the subject.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org
Indeed, it is a fairly common “disease”. 🤣

@darch@twtxt.net
I prefer darch’s one.

@stackeffect@twtxt.stackeffect.de

now Apache also announces content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Well, that fixed things. 🥳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org
Bottomline, twtxt is a poor’s man email system. 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
No worries, I understood you perfectly. My reply was merely a commentary, because some here—specially the youth, and I have a 20 years old son—think that the vaccine makes the 100% impervious, and thus behave pretty stupidly.

I am the one in charge of bringing food, and helping the elderly in the family, so I take super extra precautions… for their sake.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
I still worry, perhaps a little less. But I still take precautions. For me, and for others. I mean, you might have a bullet proof vest, but even so, would you actively seek to get shot?

@eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com
Google or (insert your favourite search engine here) have never let me down. Also, Youtube has repair guides, and HOWTOs for just about anything, and everything.

@stigatle@twtxt.net
I really do not understand anyone not willing to get vaccinated. It is just plain stupid.

@stackeffect@twtxt.stackeffect.de
I am seeing this characters on your twts: )?â\200¨â\200¨. Which client are you using?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
With those two (Message-ID, and In-Reply-To) the hashing could become superfluous, and no longer needed. I would vote for that!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

and the little cricket story stays there forever.

🤣🤣🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
I replied to the one he originally sent (and later edited, so it was deleted). That’s probably what happened.

@stigatle@twtxt.net
A twtxt client would be nice! Or a very simple cgi script to print twts to web nicely—not a second Yarn, just something to show twts in a pretty form on the web.

@adi@f.adi.onl
Just like your highschool girlfriend in Afghanistan “doesn’t need saving”, right? I think it is a language issue you are having, as English isn’t your mother tongue.

QAnon followers are cultist nuts. Some of them wanting out are finding that it is a hard thing to do (did you read the article?). Saying that “they don’t need to escape” is a silly thing to say, at the very least. To me, it just doesn’t make sense.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
Fair enough, I will modify my cron job to match. When I come across edited twts, I just delete both knowing jenny will fetch the right one next iteration. I like keeping things tidy. 😊

@mckinley@twtxt.net
I really would like to know the logic behind that reasoning.

@adi@f.adi.onl
Are those the kind of things people usually talk to each other when they meet on Tinder? Asking for a friend. 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de what is your cron job repeat time for jenny? Currently I have mine to every minute, and while it allows me to participate fairly quick on conversations it has some drawbacks: it captures every single edited twt, so I end up with seemingly the same twt, but not quite—as it has minor edits, etc. So, “repeats”. Perhaps setting cron to check every 5 minutes or so is best?

@prologic@twtxt.net
Entering a plain URL on feeds.twtxt.net renders a 500. Like entering ckunte.net gets 500, but http://ckunte.net doesn’t. 🤌🏻

@eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com
Seems like you need to make your parser smarter. Go tinker! 😋

@eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com
RSS links are archaic. Clients discover them if properly linked, they do not need to be human visible.

@prologic@twtxt.net
You are the most active of us all, so, probably you. 😜

@adi@f.adi.onl
They are new MBPs, with two screen sizes, not new screen sizes 😊. 14” and 16”. Both can be configured with the M1MAX, but having that SoC automatically bumps the RAM to 32GB, making them somewhat pricey.

@stigatle@twtxt.net
Oh wow, that second one! 😍

@stigatle@twtxt.net
It is a lovely view! That’s home office, or work office? I am hoping the second, though I do not know Norway’s days and nights well. I know that Sweden can get pretty dark, or pretty light, for long periods of time.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org
Not anymore 😭. I still have a self-propelled one, and electric, which is very nice. But when you live under an almost constant 32-35℃, with super high humidity, you cease liking working outside pretty quick.

@jlj@twt.nfld.uk
Just as jlj, that is exactly what I meant. Good point, Lyse!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org
LOL. Some days I feel like Forrest Gump, wanting to mow just for fun. Others is a chore. The other are way more frequent than the some. LOL.

@stigatle@twtxt.net
You can get an Air for $1,000 (or $1,200 with 16GB). I have used it (with 8GB), and that machine flies. I can’t imagine how fast one with an M1MAX will feel.

@jlj@twt.nfld.uk
While at it, fix this one too? You have me at netbros.com, but I am somewhere else. 😆

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
Wow! For any country such flooding would be devastating, but Germany isn’t used (doesn’t see) to that kind of flooding, correct?

There is still no estimate of when this infrastructure could work again.

Oh dear… 😞

@laz@tt.vltra.plus
I see the dilemma. It doesn’t allow you to pick, and change, ports, right? Whoever built this is not thinking at scale.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
Meanwhile I only restart my iPhone when an iOS update is available, which normally happens every 4-5 months or so, or more. 😋

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
Oh, OK, then not touching it. I will consider it part of history and, thus, unchangeable. 😊
