The Verge reports: The first changes to the app following his arrest in France last month affect its built-in blog posts and a “People Nearby” location-based feature. […] … ⌘ Read more

@movq@www.uninformativ.de thanks for getting to the bottom of it. @prologic@twtxt.net is there a way to view yarnd’s copy of the raw twt? The edit didn’t result in a visible change; being able to see what yarnd originally downloaded would have helped me debug.

@prologic@twtxt.net I guess I thought they were search engines. Anyway, the registry API looks like a decent one for searching for tweets. Could/should yarn.social pods implement the same API?

Bluesky Adds 2 Million New Users After Brazil’s X Ban

@xuu@txt.sour.is Good night

Good Afternoon, twtxtrs!!

I’ve been sketching out some gemini-specific offline social stuff here https://ix.cyb.red/wiki/pikabu, but for the online parts i’d be willing to adopt what tw.txt protocols work under the constraints of gemini

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de my setup is pretty old-school tw.txt hosting-wise. just a text file and a very simple static bridge for pikkulog-style subscribers on gemini. i do try to keep up on the twtxt format spec so i’m publishing a modern and well-formed feed. my dual-hosted website/gemcapsule is meant to eventually be entirely bespoke (my friend wrote the gemini server i’m using, so that counts enough for now) and i’d like to eventually support some of the server extensions that yarn has piloted. follow-wise, rn i kinda just manually try to pick up on who is following me by browsing random feeds. my custom clients usually do a FoaF crawl, but i don’t have anything that really works running rn.

Google’s James Manyika: ‘The Productivity Gains From AI Are Not Guaranteed’

@bender@twtxt.net F-Droid is a platform/app that lets you side-load/install and serve android apps without the need for Google’s play store’s blessing. I also use Aurora Store to install Play Store’s apps without having to associate my phone with Google account. 🦾 it makes me feel good about myself 🥸

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net At least Android has fDroid. Apple is a dominatrix.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks! Looking forward to trying it out. Sorry for the silence; I have become unexpectedly busy so no time for twtxt these past few days.

Pinellas Trail Challenge: 36.30 miles, 00:14:47 average pace, 08:56:28 duration
DNF’d, but had a great time. i could have walked it out the last ten miles and still make the cut-off but after doing the math i would not have been done until about 1900 and we have guests visiting from out of time and i did not want to be even more of a wreck while entertaining. met a lot of great people and happy for the challenge.

Apple Stands By Decision To Terminate Account Belonging To WWDC Student Winner

It’s better to eat plants you know have 60 minerals in them than to eat veggies from the store you have no idea what is in them. I can’t wait to see if our chooks like the wheat we are growing. they don’t like the wheat from the produce store, comes with NPK Ca and Mg, that’s about it I reckon. Farmers do not add 60 minerals to their paddocks any more, too expensive to do so.

The potato shed is fully insect proof and the tender leaves are untouched and uneaten by beetles.
Great idea, will we get potatoes and can I grow them all year round… Have to wait and see…. More larger shade houses to build to keep the beetles out.

Pena que o @vostpt@vostpt esteja a falar sobre o #sismo… mas só na rede ao lado.

Aqui fica um resumo do que por lá dizem:

#ATerraTreme #Sines #Portugal Dados ipma_pt: Um sismo de 5.3, a uma profundidade de 16km a Oeste de #Sines fez a terra tremer um pouco por todo o lado.

Se sentiste este sismo de 5.3, preenche o questionário no site do ipma_pt em https://bit.ly/sentiumsismo (vai demorar um bocadinho a abrir, que ainda está a tremer)

Para quem só acordou agora:

• Sim, houve um sismo e tu não deste por nada, e garantimos que não foste só tu que não sentiste o sismo.
  
• Não há risco de tsunami
  
• Podem existir réplicas
  

Mais uma vez prova-se a necessidade de termos, em #Portugal, um sistema de #CellBroadcast para quando ocorrem estes fenómenos.

Desde o sismo das 5h11 já foram registadas 3 réplicas, sem qualquer registo de terem sido sentidas. O registo é um processo técnico e científico, o sentir é o que muitos hoje experienciaram às 5h11.

Já o #IPMA, que não anda por cá, disse por lá isto:

Multimédia Meteo
Aviso de Sismo Sentido no Continente 26-08-2024 05:11
2024-08-26 05:11:00, mag 5.3.
O Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera informa que no dia 26-08-2024 pelas 05:11 (hora local) foi registado nas estações da Rede Sísmica do Continente
