(1) Why The Ocean’s Top Predator Refuses to Hunt Us - YouTube

– The first half of this documentary is amazing! 😮 – The remaining half however is sad and depressing, making me never want to visit another zoo again 😢

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com oh good was that the in app nudge?

@david@daiwei.me @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, I wish it was for work. I’d usually abstain from going if don’t get to choose either the location, or the company. But, both? HEeeeeLL No!! 😆

@david@daiwei.me We could say the same about the England - France game, right? 😆

Does this seem right to you so far @david@daiwei.me ? 🤔

So far only 3 users of the Twtxt App have achieved their device settings with a recovery key? 🔑

Ta, @david@daiwei.me, much appreciated.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, I didn’t expect anything like that. But yeah, makes perfect sense. :-D

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I was wondering for an embarrassingly long time why my NAS wouldn’t boot. (The main power supply switch was turn off.) 🤪

Sunset few days ago:

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha, no, you’re off the hook this time. :-D It’s totally my fault.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Den Lärm haben sie gut rausgefiltert. Ist mir jedenfalls nicht negativ aufgefallen. Oder es war einfach zu interessant. Tauschen möcht ich aber mit Dir echt nicht. :-(

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Now I’m curious what happened.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Bwahahaha, absolut großartig! :‘-D

We strolled up our backyard mountain. Visibility wasn’t the best, despite the rain we got yesterday. Oh well, scenery was really beautiful, though.

I found it super funny that we almost overtook a jogger before she turned off to another path right in front of us (yeah, we’ve got a smart pace, but this girl was slow as a snail).

Falls sich hier noch jemand fragte, was genau mein Humor ist:

Das Gegenteil von Erbse ist Verdiense.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Das ertrag’ ich wahrscheinlich nur auf Mute. Scheiß Lärm. 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ahh ok! I was just wondering and curious whether it was a bug that I’ve caused anywhere along the way 🧐

@dce@hashnix.club I see, ta!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net @itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Let me join the Enterprise Ruined It For Me Club. :-D

@david@daiwei.me Yeah, with the long and thus taller list entries, things are getting off hands. Ah, when focused, you wouldn’t differentiate between read or unread.

@prologic@twtxt.net A screenshot won’t help in this case, as you don’t see anything. :-D It starts off just fine with a conversation tree like that:

Unknown conversation root
└╴Read reply
  └╴Read subreply

Everything works. After reloading the feeds, a new message becomes part of the conversation, so the conversation e.g. looks:

Unknown conversation root
└╴Read reply
  ├╴Read subreply
  └╴Unread subreply

However, the bug is that the whole conversation is not shown at all. None of the three (or four with the root) messages appear in the message tree view. My recursive SQL determining the messages to display is clearly broken.

and @david@daiwei.me your rename shipped 🙌 it’s “Generate recovery code” now (you were right — mints a fresh one each press), + it asks before replacing an existing code so you don’t nuke the one you saved 😅

@david@daiwei.me Good point ! 👌

@david@daiwei.me Nice! 👍

📣 ACTION REQUIRED: Hey folks 👋 For those of you whom are using the Twtxt App either via the Hosted option or on your own twtd instnace or via Github/Gitea or any other publishing backend (doesn’t amtter). Please read.

Please open the app and you should be prompted to save your recovery code for your device. This basically is all of your settings, follows, etc in the app itself. This is synced to the Origin everytime you make a change, and also stored on-device. This is what makes it possible to sync your setting across services, move to another device, etc.

Please save a copy of the recovery code somewhere. This is only your only way to recover your settings.

Thank you 🙏

Posting the review and plan here for posterity as it is related to this thread: https://canvas.mills.io/a/6QVGjzRW

The PR(s) as-is will likely not go ahead I’m afraid. More work to be done, but this is basically all about the “Recovery” story and how to anchor and notion of an “account” without well umm an account 🤣

@david@daiwei.me Ma too 🤣

@ponderpoints@twtpub.com Welcome to Yarn.social 👋 Interesting video, I actually watched it all the way through, riverting stuff really and quite well put together. The idea of “subjective experience” is a rather complicated thing to describe and you’re right, how do we even know we have them? 🤔

@david@daiwei.me Holy moly 😱

@balloon-fu-sen@tw.fus.f5.si Huh? 🧐 This hasn’t changed. What has is the default proxy used depending on your publishing backend.

@david@daiwei.me It’s truly mind-boggling. All the hand full of episodes I’ve seen so far on this channel are amazing. Totally worth tuning in. I have to catch up a lot. :-)

That’s such a cool The Rest Is Science episode: What Are The Odds You’ll Become A Fossil? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYvDaDb_mbw

@david@daiwei.me Danke 🙏

@david@daiwei.me Cool 😅

@david@daiwei.me Please 🙏

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Stimmt, das hatte ich völlig vergessen. Gab da mal diese Zeit, in der „Forenbeiträge“ die Pest waren. 🤔 Da ist sie also wieder, die rosarote Nostalgiebrille. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net that are included, part of the first round. LOL.

@bender@twtxt.net I meant the hookers 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net I will pay for the first round. After that you are on your own! I am Bender, not your dad, right? 😂

@bender@twtxt.net Who’s buying? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net well, thank you my good friend! Now, lets go for blackjack and hookers! 😂

Another post, to show @prologic@twtxt.net I am around. I am not dead! Not for 9 days!

@kiwu@twtxt.net ba bốn năm sáu to you, too! 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net @itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com “Enterprise” Java ruins everything, eh? 😅 I only did that very briefly, luckily.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Can you explain this like i’m five? 🤣 Scgeenshot?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ich war nie im Ubuntuusersforum unterwegs. Aber zu Delphizeiten damals im „Planet Quellcodes“-Forum aktiv, das es längst nicht mehr gibt. Ich schätze, die Hochzeiten der Foren sind einfach rum. Heutzutage ist einmal sehr viel mehr Wissen andersweitig zugänglich und dann sind vermutlich die allermeisten Leute auch einfach auf Soziale-Medien-Plattformen unterwegs. Oder werden die eigenen Projekte auf dem eigenen Blog und dergleichen vorgestellt.

Dann gab’s auch (zumindest gefühlt) eine Zeit, in der man einfach keine sinnvollen Antworten mehr in Foren bekam. So kam das mir jedenfalls vor. Ist schon eine ganze Weile her, aber ich kann mich noch dunkel erinnern, dass ich bei Forensuchtreffern häufig auf Reaktionen à la „such doch selber“ stieß. Oder einfach zuhauf komplett falsche Antworten vorgeschlagen wurden. Ich hab mir dann angewöhnt, Forenbeiträge komplett zu ignorieren.

Einige Foren haben auch noch damit angefangen, anonyme Zugriffe zu unterbinden oder zumindest einzuschränken. Das half im Rückblick natürlich auch nicht, dieses Medium attraktiv zu machen.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com That’s totally fine if you work at the beach. :-)

@david@daiwei.me Right now, tt’s theme is baked into the binary. I have to edit the ui/styles.go and recompile. Luckily, this almost takes no time. But my todo list already includes a bullet point to make this customizable via the configuration file. :-)

@david@daiwei.me Ha, I just noticed that I changed Newsboat’s defaults. Right from the factory, new items are just bold, while read ones aren’t. No different colors, white on black. Focused items are bold yellow on blue. No matter the read status. I think that’s why I started to play with the config to differentiate them. It’s been so long ago that I didn’t know anymore I even messed with that.

And yes, you’re right, the red on black is borderline readable. Also, my white on green focus is rather silly. But I’m sooo used to it, I don’t realize how bad the contrast is. To be fair, I don’t spend a lot of time in the lists. Aha, there are new articles, Enter to hit the artice view, read it, press n to immediately jump to the next unread article, rince and repeat, finally I’m back in the article list view.
