My cat, @terron@duque-terron.cat has his own twtxt account. Would you follow him? #catsoftwtxt

ROFL 🤣 I’ve found myself a new insult: :diffoff a vim command…

Test Mention for Goryon! @doesnm@demo.yarn.social

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s hosted at home on an computer I didn’t use anymore. It worked well for a few months, and since maybe the beginning of December, it begun to be very slow. But like I said, I have no time for that now, but if I have questions when I’ll look, I’ll think of you 😅 (but I was thinking about installing a new OS before these problems, I may just do that).

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks ☺️. I simply used the favicon of my website, to see if that works, and it look like it does! twtxt extensions are quite easy to use! You all did a great job.

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!

ASUS Christmas Campaign Sparks Malware Panic Among Windows Users

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.

I would like to share my lastest article about #twtxt on my blog: https://programadorwebvalencia.com/twtxt-la-red-social-en-texto-plano-descentralizada-y-minimalista/ . Attention! It is a Spanish

My 400th Twtxt Post will be about you: wishing you, reader of my Twtxt feed, all the best for the coming year and most of all love, health, and that your projects and work may contribute to the greater good of all mankind. I will be taking a social-media break for a couple of weeks to enjoy this special time with my family. I hope you will be able to do this with your family and friends too.

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 !

Secret To AI Profitability Is Hiring a Lot More Doctorates

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.

yep, my point is that the txt part is redundant for twtxt

Also a .txt file could be in any format, for example those plans from John Carmak are stored now as .txt -> https://github.com/ESWAT/john-carmack-plan-archive/blob/master/by_day/johnc_plan_19960218.txt
Although being named .plan was expected for them to work, if I recall correctly -> http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/P/plan-file.html

[lang=en] Random idea: twtxt.txt files should be named tw.txt instead.

I think it’s time I set up jenny for this feed… been echo-ing my twits manually and there came times when it made me feel like a dork xD Plus I don’t have my vim’s :set spell to catch up with the typos

@prologic@twtxt.net Twtxt wise, it was kind of disparate at first xD with no access to logs as you may have read on the alt-feed itself. But then, @sorenpeter@darch.dk’s script came to the rescue … like, just in time 😁 Otherwise, everything else is fun as publicised, exploring and learning along the way.

@skinshafi@thunix.net That’s me by the way! just in case you’ve missed this one … (#44kqz4q) 😅

Hi @prologic@twtxt.net Hi @bender@twtxt.net 😁 now, Why is my @ mention is all over the place? xD this feed has a # nick = skinshafi so… should I scream buuug ? 🤔
