In-reply-to » i really wanna learn golang it looks fun and capable and i can read it kind of but every time i try it i'm immediately stuck on basic concepts like "what the fuck is a pointer" (this has been explained to me and i still don't get it). i did have types explained to me as like notes on code which makes sense a bit but i'm mostly lost on basic code concepts

Not in the mood to deal with reality today, so hereā€™s another one of those silly things: https://movq.de/v/68c61f8ecc/r2_session.ogg This time on electric bass, tuned down to B-standard because oomph. (Well, sounds okay on my headphones, but Iā€™m obviously no sound engineer. šŸ¤Ŗ)

In-reply-to » @bender I taught the whole ecosystem šŸ˜ @prologic @eapl.me The question I was asked the most was: How do I discover people? Someone came up with a fantastic idea, instead of adding the new twt at the end of the feed, do it at the beginning. So you can paginate by cutting the request every few lines.

@eapl.me@eapl.me you wrote, partially:

ā€œIā€™d like to change that. Itā€™s by nerds/hackers, for nerds/hackers and friends of these.ā€

I wish you well, and good luck! šŸ˜…

Iā€™d like to change that. Itā€™s by nerds/hackers, for nerds/hackers and friends of these. It doesnā€™t have to be hacky all the time, as you donā€™t need to be a nerd to have a blog.
But, for that to happen, someone has to build the tools to improve UX.

by design there really is no way to easily discovers others
Yeah, I agree, and although there are directories of email addresses, usually you donā€™t want that, unless you are a ā€˜public figureā€™.
I couldnā€™t say that a microblogging is a ā€œsocial networkā€ by default, as a blog is not either. At the same time, people would expect to find new people and conversations, as youā€™d do in a forum.

I think of two features on top of the current spec:

  • Clients showing a few posts of what your following are watching but you donā€™t, so perhaps you find something interesting to follow next. Or that feature of ā€œYour ā€˜followingsā€™ are following these accounts/peopleā€. (Hard to explain in english, but I hope you get the idea)
  • Sharing your .txt into some directory, saying ā€œHey, I have this twtxt URL, I want to be discoveredā€. Iā€™m thinking of something like the Federated tab on Mastodon.

@bender@twtxt.net I tend to think of Twtxt like Email. It is truely decentralised. So therefore by design there really is no way to easily discovers others except through social interactions and a sort of ā€œword of mouthā€ of human exchanges of communications.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev and how will that help ā€œdiscover peopleā€? I am missing something, I am sure, as I donā€™t understand.

Twtxt was made for nerds, by nerds. So one would script a way to often (and/or ongoing) check your web server logs for new mentions, ā€œfollowsā€, etc.

In-reply-to » @bender thinked about Gemini protocol. Why corporations shit this name with cryptocurrency and LLMs?

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt why? The Gemini protocol is an obscure, niche, good-for-nothing (yeah, I am trolling) protocol. Search for ā€œGeminiā€, and tell me in which page, on your search engine of choice, you see it being referred as a protocol.

Iā€™m not much a fan of registry limit/offset paging. I think I prefer the cursor/count method. And starting at zero for first and max for latest.
