@bender@twtxt.net LMFAOOOOOOOO i love jank

@bender@twtxt.net it’s iconic tbh

@prologic@twtxt.net help your live posting is like environmental storytelling

@bender@twtxt.net THANK YOUUUU i love pink!

@prologic@twtxt.net i did not! the retrospring codebase has been around since i was in grade school LOLLLL

@prologic@twtxt.net In all my two Go projects I use modernc.org/sqlite and can’t complain. Works great for me.

@bender@twtxt.net I was a bit confused at first what that is: Apparently, it’s the source code of Altair BASIC: https://gizmonaut.net/soapflakes/EXE-199711.html

(Of course they have a user agent filter. 😂 Can’t download that PDF with wget.)

@bender@twtxt.net Sort of, still fixing bugs. I had so much trouble with this sqlite driver, that in the end I swithced it to another driver and so far so good 😊 fingers crossed 🤞

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz the site i mentioned last week that got flooded by teens? yeah it’s this site, based on the retrospring codebase, it’s a social Q&A site. ask me stuff on there!!!!!!!!

@mana@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz grid has its places but it can be a pain!

@david@collantes.us This pink tree I featured in a few shots is a magnolia tree. I haven’t noticed any particular smell, it just looks pretty. :-) That’s a close-up: https://lyse.isobeef.org/bad-wimpfen-2025-03-28/18.jpg (I only noticed the spider and its web when I reviewed my photos.)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org those are some pretty flowers! What are they? Do they smell good?

@thecanine@twtxt.net Happy to hear that. :-)

@arne@uplegger.eu I’m very glad I only rarely have to deal with .docx & Co. And when I have to, 99% is in read mode only. Even though, I don’t think that Markdown is the best choice, I use it on a daily basis. Some things, like links, in reStructuredText are better in my opinion.

Jira just resists to switch to Markdown and forces us to use its silly markup language.

For real typesetting, LaTeX is the way to go. But I very, very rarely do that.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Awwwwww! Thank you, that is now in my collection. :-) The other ones aren’t bad either, very nice!

@thecanine@twtxt.net My apologies, mate! :-( As @david@collantes.us pointed out, this was definitely not my intent at all.

For the easter egg hunt, I first looked for a hidden image map link on the pixel dog in the right lower corner itself. Maybe one giant pixel just links to somewhere else, I figured. But I couldn’t find any and then quickly moved on. Hence, I naturally viewed the HTML source. Because where else would be a good hiding place for easter eggs, right?

Next, I noticed the <font> tags. I thought I had read quite some time ago that they are not an HTML5 thing, but wasn’t entirely sure about it. So, I asked the W3C HTML validator. Sure enough. I thought I let you know about the violations. If somebody had found a mistake on my site, I’d love to hear about it, so I could fix it. I’m sorry that my chosen form of report didn’t resonate with you all that well. I reckoned you’ll also find it a bit funny, but I was clearly very wrong on that.

I actually followed the dog cow link to the video, so I ended up on the easter egg. However, I didn’t recognize it as such. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Oh well.

Regarding my message about the browser quirks: I read your answer that you were arguing against the HTML validator findings. Of course, everybody can do with their sites whatever they likes.

@xuu@txt.sour.is Nice one! 👍

@xuu@txt.sour.is hmmm, maybe I deleted myself.

i can see your twts here: https://watcher.sour.is/?uri=https://eapl.me/tw.txt

@david@collantes.us.. i see this one but it says its dead. https://watcher.sour.is/?uri=https://ferengi.one/twtxt.txt

@thecanine@twtxt.net I came by to see it. I liked it! I think it all matches quite well the pixel style you are well-known for.

@xuu@txt.sour.is that’s mighty cool! Add me to it? Add @quark@ferengi.one too! How often does it run?

@thecanine@twtxt.net for what is worth, I don’t think @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org intention was to insinuate your website sucked (though it may well do, but again, not his intent, I am sure). I see it more like a technical jest, and a good one at it. It was fun! Isn’t that the intent of April Fools’, after all?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org The bird in the wallpaper? That’s a photo from a trip to a local zoo. 😃 This little guy was sitting in one of the bushes and didn’t mind people getting rather close. Full version and more from that day.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I do agree “the rules of the web”, are far too loose - at least the syntax ones. I do think backwards compatibility is necessary.

As for my website, it might be visually very similar, to how it looked since its creation, many years ago, but it is frequently improved. Features that originally used JavaScript, changed to HTML and CSS components, code simplified, optimised to withstand browser updates and new screen resolutions,… Even a good chunk of the errors on your list, were already addressed and I plan to address the rest soon.

Just find it a bit depressing, that my attempt to bring back some of the old Internet spirit, by making a hidden easteregg page page for this years April 1st, was met with people complaining about April fools day jokes and you insinuating my website sucks.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sorry for being completely offtopic, but that’s a really cute bird! :-)

@arne@uplegger.eu ;-)

@bender@twtxt.net Hahaha, YMMD! :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net you mean, “I’ll ix this oon 😂” ™

@prologic@twtxt.net @eapl.me@eapl.me I want to highlight another social problem: People don’t read. Paper industry is a bad moment because people don’t pay for books; it does not matter if it is a physical or digital platform. I have this information because I have a good friend who left the industry after publishing a magazine, books and working in an editorial. DRM is a try to give some more money.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’m allways on the frontline! 🙃

probably this one https://yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz/user/kat/twtxt.txt

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @xuu@txt.sour.is That sounds like kat! :-)

Is there some Makefile shenanigans going on maybe? $V and $C being swallowed by the Makefile. I fell in that trap again the other day.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh yeah, take some pictures when you do. :-)

Just saw this user agent popping up:

yarnd/ERSION@OMMIT  go1.23.4 (+https://.../twtxt.txt; @username)

ERSION? OMMIT? 😅

@bender@twtxt.net @eapl.me@eapl.me @xuu@txt.sour.is @movq@www.uninformativ.de Glad you all agree. :-D My SOAP knowledge is extremely rusty, I luckily had not to deal with that crap anymore for quite some years now. I even couldn’t remember the XML declaration and had to look it up. ;-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Aww thanks 🤗

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org … I was fully expecting this to be a WSDL file. 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I only buy stuff like that, for example games on GOG.COM. Or simply CDs or DVDs. (Rarely I “buy” a movie on some popular streaming service, fully aware that this is just “renting it”.)

But yeah, I sadly have to agree with @bender@twtxt.net. 😢

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Aww, this reminds me that I haven’t done any Fraktur/calligraphy in a hell of a long time. I should pick that up again. It’s always nice to see this on old buildings.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org this is 1990’s certified approved

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, to be fair, there’s not much of a difference other than a few grace notes (and just lower frequencies). I was mostly just fooling around with this one. 🥴

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, I’m also disappointed each and every time.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org This is so crazy to me. When I think “forest”, I assume “untouched nature”, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. 🫤

@thecanine@twtxt.net And this is exactly why there are quirks modes in browsers…

I’m actually glad I don’t have to deal with all this web shit and work with compilers that hit me in the face when I do something illegal. :-)

@arne@uplegger.eu Oh no, you are in front of the line!!

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Thank you!

@prologic@twtxt.net Fully agreed. I’m far more likely to buy such mediums when DRM-free. I never go near Amazon eBooks etc because of their lock-in, and I have a Kobo eReader which needs to have the books side loaded unless directly from the Kobo store. I prefer DRM-free files every time.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow, I use Firefox and didn’t realize this existed! Thanks for pointing it out. I noticed at least one bug cited a webcompat.com report; I wonder if someone at Mozilla monitors those. https://webcompat.com/issues?page=1&per_page=50&state=open&stage=all&sort=created&direction=desc

@javivf@adn.org.es Welcome to twtxt!
