@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Same. It actually goes for anything AI-related. It’s best kept in /dev/null.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @arne@uplegger.eu Ach Herrjeh, was für ein Interview! O_o Unfassbar. Da kannste den Sender auch gleich dichtmachen, sowas braucht ja echt niemand. Der Moderator hört sich in der Tat arg versprengt an. :-(

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh right, I completely forgot about the media! Maybe a sign that they’re losing their relevance? The third power appears to be gone or changed sides. Lots of them work on their own abolishment.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Dem Ramelow platzt da ja fast die Hutschnur - verständlicher Weise.
uebermedien schreibt:

Den Linken-Politiker Bodo Ramelow traktierte Moderator Dirk Müller mit plumpen Provokationen. Der AfD-Politikerin Beatrix von Storch rollte er einen Verständnis-Flokati aus.
Es war eine verstörende Demonstration politischer Schieflage.

Der Interviewer (Dirk Müller) scheint mir auch nicht ganz koscher. Meine Filterblase wirft zu Ihm Lobhudeleien aus dem versprengten Sektor.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

The big established parties are all bad traitors. I blame them and their actions to help raise AfD. They just [don’t?] give a fuck about the ordinary people, they’re only concerned about their private gain and power.

To a large degree, yes. But I think the media is also equally at fault. There was absolutely no reason to invite AfD people to every event and let them talk. This has been going on for over 10 years. When we give them a stage to spread their hate, are we really surprised that hate spreads … ?

I don’t know the answers to this desaster. I’m beginning to think that people literally just want an outlet for their frustration, nothing more. It’s not about what particular parties actually plan to do. At least I think this applies to people in their 30ies and 40ies.

@bender@twtxt.net Sorry to disappoint (again): https://blogs.nasa.gov/planetarydefense/2025/02/24/latest-calculations-conclude-asteroid-2024-yr4-now-poses-no-significant-threat-to-earth-in-2032-and-beyond/

@david@collantes.us Bent by? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net And if that rock won’t hit us, there still is a chance in 2038, to get everything shut down. 🤓

@movq@www.uninformativ.de You are right. Like I said in my (german only post) to the election results: “It saddens me and makes me think.” …

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org, @movq@www.uninformativ.de well, there goes my theory. We (the people) keep insisting on fudging things up.

() @movq@www.uninformativ.de / @ well, I was wrong. It doesn’t merit congratulations. Boy, that 2032 asteroid is starting to look quite appealing…

I spent this Monday afternoon back from work, drawing myself as the “you made it to Friday sailors” dog. Totally unrelated to the 3 hours wasted on meetings, pretending to discuss great suggestions from high management, nobody else wants to implement.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Neat, I got the principle, so mission accomplished. :-)

I have configured my vim to use a tab width of four. So, I noticed that especially https://www.falsifian.org/blog/2021/06/04/catalytic/reachability_with_stack.cc (but also partially the other C++ file) mixes tabs and spaces for indentation. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I didn’t, so it’s working fine. :-) I should rotate me as well.

Na, you’re spot on, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! The result is an expected, terrible disaster. It just seems the absolute catastrophy is delayed for another four years.

Even though I’m the last one who wouldn’t be glad about banning the nazis, I’m not a fan of banning parties in general. I believe that a healthy democracy has to withstand extremists. Whether it’s still healthy is debatable. To me it appeared that the failed attempts to ban NPD in the past actually helped them gain more supporters.

The big established parties are all bad traitors. I blame them and their actions to help raise AfD. They just give a fuck about the ordinary people, they’re only concerned about their private gain and power. I bet nothing will change, to the contrary, it will only get worse. The winners do have the chance to turn it for the better, but they just will not. No way, unfortunately.

But then, we must not forget that people are just dumb and stupid, too. Also, that won’t change. AfD won’t help these idiots either, but they still vote for them. I also don’t understand how there is still so much support for the other big parties left. Education is important. Very important. But I have the impression that we’re lacking it.

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net The outcome was to be expected but it’s still pretty catastrophic. Here’s an overview:

East Germany is dominated by AfD. Bavaria is dominated by CSU (it’s always been that way, but this is still a conservative/right party). Black is CDU, the other conservative/right party.

The guy who’s probably going to be chancellor recently insulted the millions of people who did demonstrations for peace/anti-right. “Idiots”, “they’re nuts”, stuff like that. This was before the election. He already earned the nickname “Mini Trump”.

Both the right and the left got more votes this time, but the left only gained 3.87 percentage points while the right (CDU/CSU + AfD) gained 14.72:

The Green party lost, SPD (“mid-left”) lost massively (worst result in their history). FDP also lost. These three were the previous government.

This isn’t looking good at all, especially when you think about what’s going to happen in the next 4 years. What will CDU (the winner) do? Will they be able to “turn the ship around”? Highly unlikely. They are responsible for the current situation (in large parts). They will continue to do business as usual. They will do anything but help poor/ordinary people. This means that AfD will only get stronger over the next 4 years.

Our only hope would be to ban AfD altogether. So far, nobody but non-profit organizations is willing to do that (for unknown reasons).

I don’t even know if banning the AfD would help (but it’s probably our best/only option). AfD politicians are nothing but spiteful, hateful, angry, similar to Trump/MAGA. If you’ve seen these people talk and still vote for them, then you must be absolutely filled with rage and hatred. Very concerning.

Correct me if I’m wrong, @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org, @arne@uplegger.eu, @johanbove@johanbove.info.

@arne@uplegger.eu

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Sweet! can’t wait to play with that. Good luck!

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I believe you have just reproduced the bug… it looks like you’ve replayed to a twt but the hash is wrong. I can see the hash here from Jenny, but it doesn’t look like it corresponds to any{twt,thing}. if you check it out on any yarn instance it won’t look like a replay.

@prologic@twtxt.net Looks great with the new logo.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Next release will convert markdown to org syntax if you have Pandoc command installed 😎. Mentions are org links, for example.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev yes, that usually happens when twts get edited and we just made a gentlemen agreement to avoid edits as much as possible (at least for the time being). But the thing is, That is not what’s happening with my broken twts’ hashes. Since I’ve bee mostly replaying to my own twts as a test and I know for sure that I haven’t edited any. (I usually fork-replay instead of edit a twt when needed)

@prologic@twtxt.net No party? where’s the cake!? 🥳

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev yeah, sorry I couldn’t get back to you sooner. I’ve already made an account on codeberg in order to file in an issue but, I just can’t get myself to concentrate with everything going on with the family lately. I’ll do my best and get things done properly and soon

@arne@uplegger.eu @eapl_en@eapl.me I’m sorry if I don’t respond to a reply. I don’t have a notification system for mentions at the moment. The work is manual!

I added to my bookmark. Good job @arne@uplegger.eu 🙌

The people have spoken! 🥳 twtxt.dev shall have a new logo of:

@arne@uplegger.eu Nur gebrauchtes Lego ist gutes Lego!

@arne@uplegger.eu Right, they’re great for upcycling. I knew you’d love that part. ;-)

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Can you give me examples of hashes that you have detected wrong between Emacs client and twtxt.net?
Perhaps there is some character, some space, that is creating the discrepancy.

@bender@twtxt.net Y U Relpy @twtxt.net@twtxt.net?

@prologic@twtxt.net Agreed! But clients can hallucinate and generate wrong hashes aka Lies 🤣 Also, If you chheck your own twt on twtxt.net, it looks like a root twt instead of a replay.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com hashes don’t lie 🤣

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Here’s that twtxt-el test replay to my last twt! let’s see how it goes.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev hmmm… pretty strange, isn’t it? replaying to threads worked perfectly, I’ve only had that problem trying to replay to a twt that was part of a thread.

As an example, this one is a Fork-Replay from Jenny. My next twt will be a replay to this exact twt but from twtxt-el as a test.
Then I’will file an issue if it doesn’t behave the way it’s supposed to. Cheers!

@prologic@twtxt.net Are you sure? xD … it was supposed to be a replay to another twt, but the twt hash is wrong (I think).

Heute waren das Ziehkind und ich zwei Stunden lang auf drei Spielplätzen und quer durch die Stadt unterwegs. Ein riesiger Spaß!
Vorab habe ich im hiesigen Spielzeugladen ein Konvolut von Klemmbausteinen erstanden, welche wohl zu einer Polizeistation gehörten!?

@bender@twtxt.net Don’t panic. I’ve just been testing my implementation. The great advantage of Twtxt is it’s openness, I think. So DM spamming would contradict to this feature I like. ❤

@xuu@txt.sour.is Hahaha, this is great! :‘-D

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org The best part is: “I found four skyrocket sticks in premium quality.” 🎇 One can never has enough skyroket sticks!

@bender@twtxt.net Oh dear!

@sorenpeter@darch.dk @kirch.sdf.org@kirch.sdf.org

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org That’s cool, dedicated parking for snow. :-) There are also some rather large icicles. Thanks for sharing this photo! <3

@sorenpeter@darch.dk @emile.space@emile.space

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ll have you know it took me minutes of time to get the mouse suspended like that by that rats nest!

@prologic@twtxt.net Not too shabby.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Here is everything written down I know to this stuff: https://github.com/upputter/testing-twtxt-dm/blob/main/README.md

@arne@uplegger.eu Amazing!!! 😋

@eapl.me@eapl.me @andros@twtxt.andros.dev Eureka! It works! https://github.com/upputter/testing-twtxt-dm
PBKDF2_KEY_SIZE = 48 was the turning point! My dirty little crypt.class.php can en- and decrypt, accoridng to the OpenSSL standard and options used in https://twtxt.dev/exts/direct-message.html

I really like the concept of “twt”. It’s the perfect blend of txt and twtxt. An abbreviated form. Even though it’s the name given to posts, I personally find it very nice.
#twtxt

@eapl_en@eapl.me Your notes are amazing! I’m going to save them for when I do my implementation. Great job!
