@starletvania@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz hello, i’m trying reply from my pod

@starletvania@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yes this thing is on 😅

@starletvania@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz hello ((hello hello [imagine this as an echo])). ☺️

@thecanine@twtxt.net with this you meant Conversations, not XMPP, right?

“Also, finally getting full screen view for avatars in XMPP - a better integrated one, after 25 years. Y@ay!”

@starletvania@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz OH SHIT IT’S WORKING

testing with a new meme

hey @prologic@twtxt.net heads up - my pod is suddenly having weird 400 bad request errors on things like posting twts, new user registration, following, and more. it’s not just me because a friend is also having these issues as a new user and can’t post. i saw one exception in the logs but i’m not sure if it’s related, i’ll link it in a reply to this

QR codes, already posted about them in the last two posts, but I want to hear your hot takes: Should they only be black and white, are they even worth doing in 2025, incorporating them into things,..?
Also, finally getting full screen view for avatars in XMPP - a better integrated one, after 25 years. Y@ay!

@bender@twtxt.net i LOVE katseye so much they’re like one of my fave girl groups rn

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz lara is my bias but daniela is so slay

EVERYTHING’S GNARLY 🎵 🔪

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I didn’t stop to think on this one. 😅 Of course, duh!

@bender@twtxt.net Not sure if you’re serious or joking, but: IE3 introduced support for CSS, Mosaic completely ignores it. 😅 Besides, it looks fine in IE3 now as well, after I fixed my CSS bug. 🤪

@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is mind boggling. How come it looks just fine under Mosaic, and not under IE3? Man, am I glad I don’t use a Microsoft browser!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Bahahahaha 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Mosaic (2.7) works fine, I maintain that package in the AUR and test my website regularly. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So no Mosaic support either? 🤣

@quark@ferengi.one Ah, I see. Hm, only problem is, IE 3 doesn’t seem to support this yet. 😅 Nah, I don’t think I’ll go down that road – seems like a slippery slope. 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yes, I think:

<!--[if !IE]><!-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../simplicity.css”>
<!--<![endif]-->

Should work, but I haven’t tested it.

@bender@twtxt.net Probably, yes. 🤔 There’s no standard way to do that, though, is there? 🤔

… but as it turned out, this was a bug in my CSS. It works now. 🥳

hosted opengist because i got bored. works with authelia

My website is compatible with many old browsers, but Internet Explorer 3, uhm, not so much.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de he’s so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@bender@twtxt.net <3333

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yep, can’t wait to hear that dial-up sound again. 😃

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Awww, welcome to the family, little guy. 😅

I’m finding this very interesting… An evolved neural network that plays the game of tic-tac-toe and so far is a pretty decent player. Here is a visualization of it’s evolved “brain” that underwent GA (genetic algorithm) training with classification learning + self-play.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de THAT’S SO COOL

GUYS I GOT A TUX PLUSHIE LOOK AT HIM (also bonus face reveal) (also also pictures pixelated for aesthetic)

Maybe you’ll enjoy this as well:

I still have one of my first modems, a Creatix LC 144 VF:

I think this was the modem that I used when I first connected to the internet, but I’m not sure.

I plugged it in again and it still works:

The firmware appears to be from 1994, which sounds about right. I don’t think we had internet access before that. We certainly did use local mailboxes, though. (Or BBS’s, as you might call them.)

I now want to actually use that modem again. For the moment, I can only use a phone to dial into it, I lack a second modem to actually establish a connection. Here’s a video:

Not spectacular, but the modem does answer after me entering ATA.

I bought another cheap old modem on eBay and am now waiting for it to arrive. Once it’s here, I want to simulate an actual dial-up session, hopefully from OS/2 or Windows 3.x.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That would be cool! 😎

@prologic@twtxt.net i can’t wait till forgejo/gitea instances can federate with each other bc i will interact with ur gitea instance from my forgejo instance somehow and someday!!!!

@bender@twtxt.net Well it’s really just for other fellow humans that might not know better and what Microsoft does with your hard™ work 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, that will work perfectly. Because you are using “please”—which we all know is a magic talisman word of obedience—all uploads of your code to Github will be automatically paused, until such magic word is removed. 😂

No Github

Please don’t upload my code on Github!

I’m thinking about putting this up on all my projects and even on the front page of my Gitea instance 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net I SAW THIS SHIT I WAS LAUGHING SOOO HARD omg you couldn’t pay me enough to babysit a fucking bot to do shit work

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz since rebuilding eunoia in astro i’ve had soooo much fun with it and i don’t even like JS

@prologic@twtxt.net good luck!!!!!!!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net interesting that ruby is so low on the list, i find it the easiest to learn! hell i struggle with python more than ruby and i’ve been told that python is like ruby but better lol. maybe it’s just my weird brain!

@prologic@twtxt.net IT’S SO EPIC BUT SO POWERFUL YOU CAN DO SO MUCH

@movq@www.uninformativ.de help yeah i struggle so hard with this stuff! it’s why wordier languages like ruby come easier to me

@bender@twtxt.net i’ve meant to try this!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ah, I see. I would assume that you’ll get used to it at some point. 🤔 But yeah, a lot of meaning is packed into these symbols. (It’s much, much worse with languages like Rust. 😅)
