I wonder how can I set, on Mutt, a shorter subject (elipsed) on the status bar, while reading a email (or a twt).

society walks into the eschaton with they eyes closed. we are high, we are drunk, we are sober. we do not see the signs. we cannot see the signs. stop! i fear these is no U-turn and this road that ends because we cannot read the signs. we gotta turn this shit around and we gotta read the signs. we must read the signs.

I’m doing this thing again where I am collecting more articles and books to read than actual doing any reading.

The Weaving The Web Book by Tim Berners-Lee should be a required read for anyone building on the Web.

I made https://johanbove.info/twtxt.html with a couple of lines of JS today. Makes it a bit easier to read my Twtxt feed online.

Anyone (preferably in the PDX area) have a way to read QIC-80 tapes?

Many are very upset about the return of RMS, and how that could be seen to legitimise his views. I knew nothing about his views, really, controversial or otherwise. I’m currently correcting that. I do like how he’s acknowledged that his views on certain controversial subjects has changed since 2013; an admission that he was wrong. I guess an important question is whether his new views on said subjects align with the current moral standard. More reading required…

@anth@a.9srv.net Did you work at Bell Labs, did I read correctly?

I was reading dd(1), where it is mentioned in passing, obliquely. Then stty(1) has more info.

i’ve been meaning to read these notes, maybe putting the book on my ereader will be a better reminder than whatever i did last time 😅

I want read-only iOS client that just does the simplest model: pull a list of feeds, make a timeline.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yes, I often read the raw messages. But more to the point, the simplicity of the format is the bulk of the appeal.

@prologic@twtxt.net the meta info on the top I added manually. it’s following what I have seen from some other twtxt feeds. the new parser will read them.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah it reads a seed file. I’m using mine. it scans for any mention links and then scans them recursively. it reads from http/s or gopher. i don’t have much of a db yet.. it just writes to disk the feed and checks modified dates.. but I will add a db that has hashs/mentions/subjects and such.

Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking, just as the man who spends too much time in the theater is tempted to be content with living vicariously instead of living his own life.

i am guessing you are using some form of webmention to notify the target of the DM? which loads it into a store for the user to read?

I think I will re-read Neuromancer this evening…

Have we forgotten what a “degree” actually means? When you receive a diploma, it just means some institution is willing to attest that you have achieved some sort of qualification. A 28-year-old with no degree becomes a must read on the economy | Hacker News

When I read this I see a a niche, super premium hardware company that managed to acquire tens of thousands of customers by word of mouth. Not only that, their customers are all in-effect self employed or small businesses with huge average revenue per employee. They manage global supply chains, intense competition, all while taking on and managing huge legal/compliance risk. How is is that supposedly “dumb,” criminals can do this, and yet many of us are stretching our intellectual capacities to learn new technologies and maths, developing our nth stupid app, trying to achieve a fraction of the customer traction and revenue that street thugs manage to do every day. Are these people much smarter than average, or does it mean that if you sell something people actually want, literally nothing else matters about your intelligence, education, character, background, or anything at all. When I read these drug stories, it just reinforces for me that growth solves everything. You can succeed with a crew of violent, drug addicted idiots whose only reliable characteristic is short term thinking, and who spend half their time in prison if you have product market fit. What I’m beginning to think is that the “smarter,” people are in a company, the less anyone will want their product. It’s like the success of a venture is inversely proportional to the number of ostensible geniuses it employs. reply How Police Secretly Took over a Global Phone Network for Organized Crime | Hacker News
