In-reply-to » Alright, I have a little 8086 assembler for my toy OS going now – or rather a proof-of-concept thereof. It only supports a tiny fraction of the instruction set. It was an interesting learning experience, but I don’t think trying to “complete” this program is worth my time.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, this is really awesome! :-) Hats off to you, that would take me forever to accomplish.

Haha, eleven bytes, how mean is that!? :-D But I already see you working on that as well at some point in the near future. :-)

In-reply-to » I'm still making progress with the Emacs client. I'm proud to say that the code that is responsible for reading the feeds is almost finished, including: Twt Hash Extension, Twt Subject Extension, Multiline Extension and Metadata Extension. I'm fine-tuning some tests and will soon do the first buffer that displays the twts.

That’s pretty awesome @ ! I’ve seen your contributions to twtxt-el and wondering if you’ve been updating the same one or made another from scratch. either way, I can’t wait to give it a try! 🙌 cheers

In-reply-to » Are there any good Registry? I like to check the mentions.

I found 2 active Registries: tilde.instite and twtxt.envs.net . I think that is missing a repository or system for them to find each other. It is easy to share registry users. Your work is awesome! Maybe you are supporting twtxt with the pod and software around them. I am very busy with the Emacs client, but I like to work creating my own version of Registry using Django.

In-reply-to » Apple A16 SoC Now Manufactured In Arizona "Apple has begun manufacturing its A16 SoC at the newly-opened TSCM Fab 21 in Arizona," writes Slashdot reader NoMoreACs. AppleInsider reports: According to sources of Tim Culpan, Phase 1 of TSMC's Fab 21 in Arizona is making the A16 SoC of the iPhone 14 Pro in "small, but significant, numbers. The production is largely a test for the facility at this stage, but more production is expected ... ⌘ Read more

I’m not the biggest Apple fan around, but that is pretty awesome.

In-reply-to » Evernote Pushes Users To Upgrade After making steep cuts to personnel earlier this year, Evernote's Milan-based owner Bending Spoons is now experimenting with a new plan that would push more users to upgrade to paid versions of its service. From a report: The company confirmed to TechCrunch it's been running a small test that placed limits on the number of notes free users could create, but said the new plan is not yet finalized. TechCrunch was al ... ⌘ Read more

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net I feel like this is a bit of a common pattern? Company builds an awesome product, makes it free for a lot of users, then create additional features and paid plans, makes a tonne of money. But then later decide they need to make more money, so focus on converting the free users to paid users. Hmmm 🤔 Surely this can’t be the only viable business model? 🤔

In-reply-to » Could pumping CO2 under Canada's coast cause earthquakes? Injecting CO2 underground might increase pressure along geological faults and cause earthquakes, but a report concludes the risk is minimal for a proposed CO2 storage site near Vancouver Island ⌘ Read more

@New_scientist@feeds.twtxt.net hello @prologic@twtxt.net here’s another feed that’s spewing multiple copies of the same post. This one above is repeated 8 times. @awesome-scala-weekly@feeds.twtxt.net now has 13 copies of each post every week. This definitely looks like a bug in whatever code is generating these feeds, because the source feeds don’t have multiple copies of the original posts:

I forget whether I filed an issue on this before, but can you tell me where I should do that?

In-reply-to » Atom vs. RSS: https://mckinley.cc/blog/20221109.html

@mckinley@twtxt.net Thank you! I didn’t even know about signing and encrypting XML documents. Right, RSS is a little bit messy.

Unfortunately, the autodiscovery document in one of your linked resources does not exist anymore. What annoys me in Atom is the distinction between <id> and <link>. I always want my URL also to be my ID, so I have to duplicate that – unnecessarily in my opinion.

Also, never found a good explanation why I should add <link rel="self" … /> to my feeds. I just do, but I don’t understand why. The W3C Feed Validation Service says:

[…] This value is important in a number of subscription scenarios where often times the feed aggregator only has access to the content of the feed and not the location from which the feed was fetched.

This just sounds like a very questionable bandaid to bad software architecture. Why would the feed parser need access to the feed URL at this stage? And if so, why not just pass down the input source? Just doesn’t make sense to me.

Also, I just noticed that I reference the http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/ namespace, but don’t use it in most of my feeds. Gotta fix that. Must have copied that from my yfav feed without paying attention what I’m doing.

Your article made me reread the Atom spec and I found out, that I can omit the <author> in the <entry> when I specify a global <author> at <feed> level. Awesome! Will do that as well and thus reduce the feed size.

You’re right @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com I just watched Australia Post Outrage: Did She Need To Go?

and I do believe I’ll start adding this to my “watchlist” – I don’t use Youtube specifically (because privacy eroding garbage); but the content this guy produces is awesome! 👌

Scotty from marketing really needs to be fired! Can we even fire Prime Ministers besides calling an election? 🤔 The more you dig into our #Australian #Government the more you realize just how fucking corrupt they all are and have been over so many years. How?! 🤦‍
