In-reply-to » @prologic what do we make of Labor's proposed social media minimum age ban, I.e ID verification, and the likes of Yarn? I haven't been able to find out exactly how far the legislation goes, but some have said it's broad enough to include any site that even has a comment section 🤔 but that could be FUD.

@prologic@twtxt.net Cheers, mate, just saw this reply so thank you. And hope you are feeling better now!

I agree with what you say too. The whole thing is just an odd approach and can’t possibly be effective, all the while causing inconveniences or at worst, being plain weird and invasive like ID verification.

In-reply-to » Time to rotate three months into archive feeds again.

@bender@twtxt.net My made-up rule is to keep at least three full months in the main feed and when rotating, I create one feed per month.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt There is no real recommendation I think. But if you hit half a MiB or so, it might be worth considering to rotate in order to keep the network traffic low. People with bad connectivitiy might appreciate it. I want to implement HTTP range requests in my client rewrite at some point in time (but first, it has to become kinda usable, though).

In-reply-to » I didn’t realize that the queens of our very common black ants are huge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjbAsdiE7ZI

@movq@www.uninformativ.de When looking closely in the woods, I can spot ants that are sized the width of a finger. Soldier ants are also often larger than the workers they protect. But yeah, most ants in our regions are relatively small. :-)

In-reply-to » So long Blue Birdy 👋 it was a ... Never mind, GTFO of my life already! 😆

@bender@twtxt.net You’d be surprised how many lifetime old accounts I still have, scattered all over the internet. I just don’t have much energy to go through deleting each and every single one of them. xD and here is a bonus image for LOLs

In-reply-to » "Designed by Apple in California" stopped being sold in 2019. It sold for $199, and $299 (two sizes). Check the eBay pricing on that link, if you want to know the selling price today.

@bender@twtxt.net I still have my Famicom from when I was 5 or so and this makes me think I might get away with selling it’s manual for pretty money instead of just framing it and hanging by the desk … wanna buy it? 😂

In-reply-to » Giving paper notebooks another try. I love paper notebooks. The problem is that I'm very chaotic writing my ideas.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m all in on paper. In fact I noted down a todo item today on a physical sheet of paper when I was on the phone with a workmate. It then occurred to me that I could have just written it in a scratch file.

The parchment, on the other hand, might be a bit wasteful for just temporary ideas that are not perfectly layed out yet.

In-reply-to » @prologic Nah. twtxt + Mastodon is enough social media for me. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Same here… Twtxt and Mastodon are more than enough for me. I used to have a BSky account with my own domain name as a handle (which I ended up deleting after a while) and even taught about running my own PDS and the whole nine yards but, it didn’t feel like it was worth the hassle.

In-reply-to » Numbers are hard. I just almost accidentally sent 33k€ to someone via bank transfer, because the banking website interpreted 334.90 as 33490,00. 😬 This is germany, so it wants a comma, not a dot …

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, the Swiss and C++ programmers use apostrophes. :-) My grandpa had an electronic desk calculator that also used some kind of apostrophes as the thousands separator on its cool display. Maybe it consisted of Nixie tubes, can’t remember anymore.

I think non-breaking spaces are preferred nowadays to avoid the confusion.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The dot is the thousands separator, so I’m surprised that it did not interpret it as €334,900.00. Luckily, you caught it in time! :-)

In-reply-to » @sorenpeter Section 7 on emojis: Exactly that, it's an avatar for text interfaces. The metadata name needs tweaking, but that's a cool idea. If I implemented this in my client, I'd make the text avatar overridable by the user, though. Otherwise I'd probably only see boxes for everbody in my terminal. :-D

@bender@twtxt.net Fair point, could be. I probably have to implement it first or create some kind of a mockup to spare me the effort of some feature that I rip out again. :-)

In-reply-to » Thank you, @eapl.me! No need to apologize in the introduction, all good. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

Regarding section 4 about feed discovery: Yeah, non-HTTP transport protocols are an issue as they do not have User-Agent headers. How exactly do you envision the discovery_url to work, though?

This is from a twt of mine from January 2022:

(This idea gets lost all the time, so I put it into a file now. 😅)

Not sure if this is what @eapl.me@eapl.me had in mind, obviously.
