@david@daiwei.me Ta, I continued my fun with studying the tcell and cbind code bases for key bindings. My plan is to eventually not only support custom key bindings in the tt configuration file, but also to enable multi-key sequences, such as gg to jump to the top of a list/tree. Or use other vim-like navigation movements like 7j or 25gg etc.
And it turns out there are only a hand full oft tcell/cbind version combinations that work together. Only if all stars align, there’s chance of success. I will probably end up pulling cbind in to simplify my life. There are situations where tcell.EventKey’s triple of key, modifiers and rune are not all that intuitive to me. Let’s see.
Friday, my love, we meet again. I am going to take you to lunch, and pamper you. I will led you to believe you are the only one in my life, but then, as the working day sunsets, I shall leave you at the door, like a stood up girl by her prom date.
Weekend babies, here we come! 😂
That place comes across as being so chill! Precisely what I need now in my life…
Put the shopvac on the alert as a wet vacuum cleaner and released it into its regular life, now that it’s bone dry again. Maybe five liters of rain. Tops.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hah 😅 One thing I’ve learned in my life (as I’ve had many good manegers over the years teach me as much) is:
Strong opinions, held loosely.
I have my opinions too, but I also see positives and benefits and I am optimistic that we will collectively figure out a path forward.
@prologic@twtxt.net Ahh, I see. Okay, I’m with you there. On this high level, I can understand how the thing works.
Maybe my wording isn’t good. 🤔 Let’s take a real life example from what we do at work.
There’s this AI chatbot. It gets support requests from users, so the user says something like “I need access to a particular system”. This triggers the bot to “run” the instructions stored in a large Markdown file, like “check if the user is authorized to do this, then issue the following API requests”, and so on. This is essentially like running a little script, except it’s written in natural language (German) and there’s no “script interpreter” but just the AI.
Now, suppose that the AI doesn’t quite do what was intended. There’s some subtle bug. How do you debug this? How do you find out how the AI came to the “conclusion” to run step A instead of step B? And how do you find out how exactly you have to change your prompt so this doesn’t happen again next time?
If this was an actual script/program instead of AI, you could repeat the request and attach a debugger or throw in some printf() or whatever. How do you do that kind of thing with AI? How do you pinpoint exactly what the problem was?
(Or is this just a stupid idea? Do we have to give up that way of thinking when using AI? Is the era of debuggability over?)
@bender@twtxt.net Fine, Let me answer properly and concretely 😅
Would you want your children not to learn anything, because “they have AI”?
No, children still need to learn. That will never change. What they learn however will over time.
Are you OK with your children using the AI for all of their homework?
Yes, frankly I am. Why? Because much of what we teach them in school is utterly pointless.
For example, learning to read Shakespear never taught me anything useful in my life. I regret much of my school years to be honest.
I leanred to read and write, sure. But I learned Math, Science, Computing and how things work on my own by being very curious.
What sense will it make?
That assumes I answered “no”, which I did not. So it all makes perfect sense :D
What kind of future would that bring for them?
This assumes I said “Yes”, which I did :D It will be an itneresting future that’s for sure. I don’t think we can just bury our heads in teh sand and pretend it’s all going to go away, It will not. It will make things very interesting for sure, as we’re already starting to see what’s possible and what’s changeing. For example; ordinary people are using these LLM(s) to write their legal suit and defense in courts with varying levels of success.
Even if AI were to become omniscient, what will it be of the human race then?
I’m not convinced it ever will. In fact, I am not convinced we know how to create true intellience at all.
What would we do?
What would be so different from say an Alien invasion from far superious beings?
What would we do that? Band together and defend humanity?
Serve the AI? Maintain the AI?
That assumes that “AI” will become intelligent and omniscient, which I don’t believe it ever will.
Would we have found the true meaning of life then?
If the meaning of life is to create our own sub-species liken to ourselves, sure, maybe. But is that even a reality? not sure, I doubt it. We barely understand ourselves at the best of times, let alone how our minds works.
To care for AI, Is that it?
How would this be different to caring for a friend, a family member If we could ever truly reate an actual sentient being with real feelings and intelligenace, is there any reason to worry? Could we not be freinds and have mutual goals and form relationships?
@prologic@twtxt.net let me ask you this. Would you want your children not to learn anything, because “they have AI”? Are you OK with your children using the AI for all of their homework? What sense will it make? What kind of future would that bring for them? We need to analyse the repercussions from all angles, even if AI were to provide absolutely flawless answers every single time. Even if AI were to become omniscient. What will it be of the human race then? What would we do? Serve the AI? Maintain the AI? Would we have found the true meaning of life then? To care for AI. Is that it?
@bender@twtxt.net I have no idea. Probably busy with life ya’know 😅 I’m just as guilty myself.

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de A crocodile had bitten the big submarine internet cable that connects Australia to Europe. The investigations revealed that some construction work last week accidentally tore up the protective layer around it. That went unnoticed, unfortunately, so marine life had an easy job today. For just 40 minutes, they were quite fast in repairing the damage if you ask me! These communication cables are fricking large.
Just kidding, I completely made that up. :-D I didn’t notice any outage either. But I didn’t try to connect to Down Under at the time span in question.

I’m gonna ask here again because I’m really frustrated and literally no one else is responding anywhere can u guys please help me find a good video camera the biggest think I want is long battery life but I also want it to be cheap like under $200, if you yourself don’t know please ask a friend because I am not a tech nerd and looking for stuff like this is very hard for me
@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, I’ve had even requested access to it in order to give it a try and report whatever I can but, Sorry I never got to do any of it. 2025 slam dunked a massive pile of 💩 over my life (hence the disappearance, trying to avoid talking about any of it) and I’m just starting to recover (or at least trying to).
since there are quite literally no note taking apps that work for me, i’ve began writing my own! to get started real quick i adapted the core part of bbycll’s backend and it works so nicely — which speaks volumes to the quality of the code! should really break it out into a custom framework. i’m also realizing how easy it would be to get bbycll v1 ready…but this is probably more important since it’ll allow me to get my life in order ^^’
@prologic@twtxt.net the life of a lead SRA
Not a day goes by at work, where I’m not either infuriated or frustrated by this wave of AI garbage. In my private life, I can avoid it. But not at work. And they’re pushing hard for it.
Something has to change in 2026.
@prologic@twtxt.net Who’s got a life besides work, huh? Yeah, no, thanks, mate! Scratch that.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @bender@twtxt.net Pfft, they want folks to relocate to Sydney. Fuck that 🤣 Sydney is a bit like San Francisco, I’m not actually sure which is worse. Fuck’n expensive as hell, the only palce you’d be able to afford to buy or rent is at least ~2hrs out of the city by public transport (i.e: train) and by that time you’ve just pissed your life down the toilet, because you’d be expected ot work a 9-10hr day + 2-3hrs of travel each way, buy the time you factor in having to wake up super early to get ready to travel in to work, you basically have zero time for anything else, let alone your ufamily,
Fuck that.
The gold saga on @quark@ferengi.one’s thoughts continues with https://netbros.com/1750974122. That’s without any doubt the most beautiful 404 page I’ve ever come across in my entire life. What an overall master piece of art. Well done, mate! <3

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow, that’s a hell lot of food! If it doesn’t spoil, it’s easily enough for the rest of your life and all your neighbors and surrounding cities, probably more. :-D
That’s a great font. I like it. It just suits the print style incredibly well. No offence, to the absolute contrary, I would not have thought that you actually designed that. It looks just so right. Hats off! :-)
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org believe it or not, I imagined the whole thing in my head, and kind of ROFLMAO. I am sure it was much, much less funny in real life. So, sorry! :-P
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Uh, that actually looks not that terrible. Somehow, I remember Swing GUIs being way uglier.
As for Visual Basic, I only had to use VBA once in my life. That was in the beginning of my career when I inherited a project from a leaving coworker. Fuck me, was that awful. Just alone the damn compiler error dialog box popping up in my face all the time while editing and the compiler already trying to parse the unfinished and hence of course uncompilable code. Boy, that left a lasting impression on me. I ported everything to Java very quickly. Luckily, the code base wasn’t all that large at that point in time. I had to add a bunch of new features after that, so I was very glad that I convinced my workmate/project manager to do that first. We didn’t even need a GUI, the button in Excel was transformed to a command line program that just generated the large file.
But I cannot comment on the VB GUI designer, I never used that. Your screenshot looks very similar to the Delphi one, though. Only towards the end of my Delphi days I found out about the possibility to make the widgets snap to window edges and corners (I don’t remember how that was called), so that resizing the windows was actually possible without messing up their entire contents.
Switching to Linux, Delphi wasn’t an option anymore. For some reason I couldn’t use Kylix. Maybe it was already dead by the time I changed OSes. Or I couldn’t get it to run. I just don’t remember. I just recall that the unavailability of Delphi was the reason it took me a while to actually settle on Linux. I then fully switched to Java. The GridBagLayout was my absolutely favorite Swing layout manager. I reckon I used it 98% of the time, because it was so powerful and made the windows resize properly, just as I had learned to do in Delphi shortly before.
Up until discovering Swing, I used Java’s AWT for a short amount of time. That was very limited I think and I hit the limits fairly quickly. Later at uni, we had one project making use of SWT. Didn’t convince me either. I could be wrong, but I think there was also a SWT GUI designer plugin for Eclipse. If there really was, that one wasn’t in the same street as Delphi’s (there must be a reason I forgot about it ;-)).
A mate just sent me Microsoft’s magnificent master piece diagram regarding the end of life of Windows 10: https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/windows-10-support-wurde-am-14-oktober-2025-eingestellt-2ca8b313-1946-43d3-b55c-2b95b107f281
That’s what you get for training with zalgo. :-D Of course, this isn’t even proper German.
In case they fix it, here’s a screenshot of the enlarged frontal crash: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/win10eol.png
i desperately want to simply deploy a bbycll instance but i need to change the entire database schema for the Nth time, i haven’t been working on it much recently as this back and forth w the backend (which you don’t expect from a spec as simple as twtxt) is really demotivating, as well as life and stuff getting in the way
perhaps i just need a nice shower and four coffees, midnight is when i am most productive and the hour is approaching..
I was born with a Swiss Army Knife and though it was no khukri or any kind of sword, it worked just fine on that umbilical cord and served me the rest of my Swiss Army Life.
