@bender@twtxt.net How does it work? 🤔
@andros@twtxt.andros.dev We don’t know the cause, yet, do we? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net that mechanical magical ball I built is doing a good job, thus far. :-P
LOL Amazon displaying tariff prices “hostile and political,” White House say is this the kettle calling the pot black? 🤣 Trump, pfft, what a fucking idiot. No clue how economies work, let alone countries.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, no, this is vastly exaggerated. Neil deGrass Tyson says, the earth is smoother than a cue ball (billiard): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMP5dNsZ-6k That would make for a very dull OpenGL program, though. 😂
@bender@twtxt.net You guessed right 🤣
@iolfree@tilde.club Fuck no. 😅

and use the first 12
characters of the base32 encoded blake2b hash. This will solve two problems, the fact that all hashes today either end in q
or a
(oops) 😅 And increasing the Twt Hash size will ensure that we never run into the chance of collision for ions to come. Chances of a 50% collision with 64 bits / 12 characters is roughly ~12.44B Twts. That ought to be enough! -- I also propose that we modify all our clients and make this change from the 1st July 2025, which will be Yarn.social's 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! 😱 #Twtxt #Update
@bender@twtxt.net Thank you! I am writting on PR page.
@prologic@twtxt.net Spain. Duh! 😂
@prologic@twtxt.net Yesterday Spain, Portugal, maybe Morocco, were without electricity for 12 hours. I could not work. My home server was down, my feed and pages were online because of that 😂
@yejokjanan@texto-plano.xyz siii que la pelicula es interactiva.. muy interesante y original!
@javivf@adn.org.es 12 Hlirs without power? 🧐 Where do you reside?! 🤣
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org likewise I don’t have the energy for a fundamental shift in any of our specifications that would inevitably cause a lot of toil and try and change in our clients implementations and unforeseen problems that we haven’t really fully understood:
@movq@www.uninformativ.de At this point someone needs to make a decision 🤣 @bender@twtxt.net keeps reminding me of that😅
@yejokjanan@texto-plano.xyz la de tetris ( netlix ) tu dices?

Garmin Pay: yes, you can do NFC tap-to-pay in stores without big tech
Late last year, I went on a long journey to rid myself of as much of my remaining ties to the big technology giants as I could. This journey is still ongoing, with only a few thin ties remaining, but there’s one big one I can scratch off the list: mobile in-store payments with NFC tap-to-pay. I used Google Pay and a WearOS smartwatch for this, but neither of those work on de-Googled Android – I … ⌘ Read more

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Agreed, finding the right motivation can be tricky. You sometimes have to torture yourself in order to later then realize, yeah, that was actually totally worth it. It’s often hard.
I think if you find a project or goal in general that these kids want to achieve, that is the best and maybe only choice with a good chance of positive outcome. I don’t know, like building a price scraper, a weather station or whatever. Yeah, these are already too advanced if they never programmed, but you get the idea. If they have something they want to build for themselves for their private life, that can be a great motivator I’ve experienced. Or you could assign ‘em the task to build their own twtxt client if they don’t have any own suitable ideas. :-)
Showing them that you do a lot of your daily work in the shell can maybe also help to get them interested in text-based boring stuff. Or at least break the ice. Lead by example. The more I think about it, the more I believe this to be very important. That’s how I still learn and improve from my favorite workmate today in general. Which I’m very thankful of.
I guess this is trivial to do with some pre-existing engine, but it’s more fun to do it yourself: https://movq.de/v/0cfa4e9504/world.tar.gz
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow, that’s sick! Assuming the rendering is correct, I never realized the mountain ranges being this steep and tall. This has real education potential for geography classes. Really cool!
Remembered a fun little “hello world” program I made in 2018:
