Test Mention for Goryon! @doesnm@demo.yarn.social
I’m currently writing a tutorial (in French) to learn the basics of groff + mom to typeset generalist PDF (not manpages). It’s my nerdy project for the time being, and it grew quite larger than I anticipated (it probably will have 40 pages when finished)… not because groff is hard, but because my goal is people who never touched a formatting language, so I have to cover the basics.
Hi everybody! I just created this account and I have absolutely no idea if this works… but it does seem promising!

Is https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial dead?
Is there any rule or information about images in the twtxt specification?
Thanks @bender@twtxt.net for the feedback. I fixed and expanded the article. I’m sorry for my poor interaction. Furthermore, I’m reading and writing while programming a client in Emacs.
Years ago, I had a falling out with PayPal, when they implemented ToS changes, that would let them withhold your money without a reason and randomly subtract “ToS violation fees” from your balance.
They reverted the ToS violation fees part, but I refuse to do business with any company, who has the goal, to even try presenting such a change, to their clients.
I’m not surprised PayPal is alongside questionable fee increases, also running scummy browser extensions (through companies they acquired), that override almost all affiliate links with PayPals and present you with inferior discount coupons, to trick you into spending more money, shopping on sites owned by their partners.
The honey extension scam - YouTube video
Ironic they were even “referal link scamming” the influencers, they paid to promote their extension - PayPals ability to scam the clueless is quite impressive, but luckily it does not work on me.

Hi Twtxt
Hello, world! :-)
after I finish this letter to a relative, I think I’m gonna start rough-drafting an article about what I expect to get out of social media now
the feed is made using my own cli app called txtlog, it also supports bluesky cross-posting as well!
LMAO! 🤣 I’ve had @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt’s nick linked to @prologic@twtxt.net’s url for this feed the whole time !! 🤦
There’s this something about this Halloy #IRC client’s look I can’t find a proper word for. Aesthetically pleasing maybe? anyway, it feels nice.
Test post from IndiePass app
I’ll be using another URL for this twtxt.
The older one will redirect to the new for a while (I’m not sure what would happen if you follow both URLs, I assume it’s better to add the new one and remove the older)
Please update your following list to https://eapl.me/tw.txt !

Change
Did I write here already that the reason why I love Twtxt so much is that it works without having to compile, install anything extra. Just the bin applications that come with 95% of all operating systems and you’re good to read and participate, giving you have a domain name somewhere to host the twtxt.txt file.
Added TwtHash hashes to every message on my personal Twtxt HTML renderer. Code is not yet ready for prime-time. Need to work out some kinks still.
