In-reply-to » One of my quirks—don’t ask me why—is collecting backpacks, bags, patches, and watches, especially those related to aviation and the military. Just yesterday, I added a Direct Action Messenger bag and a 5.11 backpack to my collection.

@wbknl@twtxt.net that Messenger bag is a big one, isn’t it?

In-reply-to » I've been thinking of a few improvements for the next generation of twtxt spec, let me know if these are useful or interesting :) https://text.eapl.mx/a-few-ideas-for-a-next-twtxt-version

@eapl.me@eapl.me There’s some good ideas in this 👌 I think we can definitely incorporate some of them pretty easily already. Others will have to be discussed, and some other bits like hashing and edits are a bit more controversial.

In-reply-to » So let's recap... We've got Putin waging war against Ukraine. Netanyahu waging war against Palestine. Iran getting involved. Kim Jong Un helping Russia and sending soldiers as resources for Putin's war. And now Trump has won a 2nd term in the US where we'll see him scrap EU sanctions and fines against US companies violating EU laws and what else? 🤔

I am so sorry.

In-reply-to » Trump Wins US Presidency For Second Time Major media outlets are beginning to declare former President Trump the winner of the 2024 presidential election. As with previous election announcements on Slashdot, this is your chance to talk about it and what it means for the future of our nation.

Fuxk 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Our media still shows a theoretical chance for Harris. 😬

In-reply-to » Went on a really cool walk today after the sun came out this arvo. Just 11°C and a fair bit of wind required a scarf and beanie. I love the autumn colors a lot and never tire of looking at them.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Thanks mate! It just occurred to me the other night that my alt choices are not the best. I should probably fix them.

This also reminds me of a JS snippet my mate wrote for navigation in browsers that don’t support incrementing numbers in the URLs. I’m using Tridactyl in Firefox and can Ctrl+A/Ctrl+X myself through albums with properly named files.

I feel exhausted, burned out. The workload just keeps piling up, and there’s less and less time to rest. What keeps me going are these little escapes to the smolweb.

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net

Even the Tech news doesn’t grab my attention anymore

I noticed that as well about me. I stopped reading big and popular news outlets long ago. Maybe it’s because I’m getting old or maybe it’s because the 73128937189th article about blockchain (or “AI” these days) just isn’t interesting anymore. 🤔

In-reply-to » Tried to get a Covid booster, lady at the phone told me: “Nah, fuck off, you’re too young.” 🥴

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, she didn’t use those exact words, but since I’m under 60 years old and not in a “risk group” either, she didn’t want to give me an appointment. 🤪

Getting Covid shots is ridiculous here in Germany. Not once have I gotten a shot from my GP. Every time I had to hunt down some doctor who’s willing to do it. It’s almost like a black market …

(Okay, granted, in that one year, there was an official vaccination campaign and there was an official vaccination center where you could go.)

@bender@twtxt.net I’m so deeply concerned we even have to discuss the orange clown. 😩 All voodoo dolls up and running. ✅

This data selling shit needs to be more heavily criminalized.

Went on a really cool walk today after the sun came out this arvo. Just 11°C and a fair bit of wind required a scarf and beanie. I love the autumn colors a lot and never tire of looking at them.

On the summit the view was absolutely terrible, because there were super low hanging clouds. But it still looked fairly spectacular. Very surreal, I could not make out the edge of the Swabian Alb. The haze just blended with the rest of the sky. Towards the sun it was just one giant white wall after half a kilometer or so. That doesn’t happen all that often here.

After dusk I saw five deer on a meadow. Well their outlines against the remaining backlit sky.
