In-reply-to » Google Chrome will have Gemini LLM built into the browser.

@bender@twtxt.net He is running on the latest macbook pro with 128G memory. though the chrome app seems to be sitting at 125MB. i am a bit suspicious about that stat since we dont see all the worker threads and he is currently sitting on 40GB of non cache ram.

In-reply-to » Do you believe one can survive surfing the web using a text-based web browser? (i.e: Lynx or W3m) no CSS no Bling for at least 24 hours 😲

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Well trust me if I tell you that most of my past addictions have started with a ā€œJust onceā€ or a ā€œ24 hrs challengeā€.

I’m reading through the Week Week In TTY thread you’ve linked earlier and oh-boy!
People went All In TTY and no X … I’m tempted! Although I do not believe I can last more than a couple of hours šŸ˜… but I’ll keep on reading.

And again, Thank you!

Not making THREADING the default view of e-mail clients and thus teaching users that e-mail is ā€œchaoticā€ (if you get a lot of mail, it becomes unusable without threading) and ā€œneedsā€ full quoting all the time was one of the worst mistakes ever.

Twtxt spec enhancement proposal thread 🧵

Adding attributes to individual twts similar to adding feed attributes in the heading comments.

https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/go-lextwt/pulls/17

The basic use case would be for multilingual feeds where there is a default language and some twts will be written a different language.

As seen in the wild: https://eapl.mx/twtxt.txt

The attributes are formatted as [key=value]

They can show up in the twt anywhere it is not enclosed by another element such as codeblock or part of a markdown link.

In-reply-to » (#fytbg6a) What about using the blockquote format with > ?

@sorenpeter@darch.dk this makes sense as a quote twt that references a direct URL. If we go back to how it developed on twitter originally it was RT @nick: original text because it contained the original text the twitter algorithm would boost that text into trending.

i like the format (#hash) @<nick url> > "Quoted text"\nThen a comment
as it preserves the human read able. and has the hash for linking to the yarn. The comment part could be optional for just boosting the twt.

The only issue i think i would have would be that that yarn could then become a mess of repeated quotes. Unless the client knows to interpret them as multiple users have reposted/boosted the thread.

The format is also how iphone does reactions to SMS messages with +number liked: original SMS

Decided to block the threads.net domain on Mastodon. I am happy with reaching the people that are part of the current Fediverse. I have no need to add more celebrities and brands and whatever to the Mastodon instance I have been enjoying.

I’ve only been using snac/the fediverse for a few days and already I’ve had to mute somebody. I know I come on strongly with my opinions sometimes and some people don’t like that, but this person had already started going ad hominem (in my reading of it), and was using what felt to me like sketchy tactics to distract from the point I was trying to make and to shut down conversation. They were doing similar things to other people in the thread so rather than wait for it to get bad for me I just muted them. People get so weirdly defensive so fast when you disagree with something they said online. Not sure I fully understand that.

In-reply-to » Russia blowing up the Nova Kakhovka dam is an incomprehensible war crime. Among other things, it drains water from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, water that is needed for cooling. They are trying to generate a widespread disaster.

I found this to be a good thread on the subject of how the media is covering the dam explosion. The author, Timothy Snyder, is a history professor at Yale and has consistently good commentary on the war in Ukraine.

What is a good device for home virtualization these days? I have been looking at the Intel NUC 13 pro’s. Basically I want something ā€œquietā€ (ie not a screaming banshee 1U), smallish, but with lots of threads and rams. Disk will come from an external NAS.

In-reply-to » @darch I think having a way to layer on features so those who can support/desire them can. It would be best for the community to be able to layer on (or off) the features.

@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net Yarn.social without threading (as it would be the case in a ā€œtruncatedā€ feed) does not make sense to me.

Put another way: Yarn.social is not twtxt. The content that we all have in our feeds really is much closer to a web forum or usenet or whatever. It’s threaded conversations. twtxt, as I believe it was originally intended, are short little status updates – that’s it. The formats of Yarn.social and twtxt might be very similar, but the content is vastly different and, in a way, incompatible. (As such, I think I understand very well that the original twtxt crowd is disgruntled.)

That proposed truncated feed doesn’t really provide any value, if you ask me. šŸ¤” It’d just be chaotic.

In-reply-to » (#salij6a) but if we kept things simple stupid I how would the poor little darlings in middle-management have a job? šŸ˜‚

@prologic@twtxt.net we would want:

  • a way to reply to the current thread. We have this.
  • a way to reply to a specific twt. Need this. Maybe make all the replies start new conversations?
  • check if twt is start of a conversation.. we kinda have this in the main feed with the conversation button. need to extend it for forked convs
  • a way to inline first replies. maybe show one or two in the sub thread with a link to view.
  • for convenience have a link to parent conv?
