@bender@twtxt.net 😃 Pronunciation: Marie Twixt?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, it’s hard to catch these colors on film.

We also had some 5°C today but with a lot of wind. Super chilly. I was only out for 30 minutes. 😅🥶

@bender@twtxt.net @aelaraji@aelaraji.com … oooooooohhhhh! 😂 That took me a minute.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com That what? 😅

It’s been so rainy and windy and cold these last few days, I hardly left the house. 😩

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Omg, this is brilliant. 😃

@prologic@twtxt.net Uh, yeah. I forgot about that, sorry. 🥴

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Looks awesome!

(I often view your photos in the evenings when redshift is active. That probably gives it a nice extra warm touch. A bit like bass-boosted music.)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Sooooooooooooooo … you order now and they deliver in April? Sounds like a good deal.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hm, well I guess I just expected ants to be tiny. But that girl looks like it’s the size of a regular bug/spider. 😅

I didn’t realize that the queens of our very common black ants are huge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjbAsdiE7ZI

You guys make it sound like a stupid idea. 🤣 Dunno, I like the idea. But I also like writing in general and calligraphy, maybe that’s the reason. 😝

„Junge, du bist zu dünn. Du brauchst mehr Speck!“

Okay.

twtxt.net lost its dark mode? It’s glaringly bright now. 😎

@prologic@twtxt.net Nah. twtxt + Mastodon is enough social media for me. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Yep. 😅

I thought the same thing as this person in the comments:

Whenever a band looks like this I always like to imagine a conversation where at least one member was like “I ain’t wearing that, man”

🥴

Since we’re liking masked musicians here on twtxt, let me share this gem with you:

Glass Beams - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

@bender@twtxt.net Because the cities are too optimized for cars? 🫤 Yeah, I live in a somehwat rural area and you can use the bike for a lot of things. There aren’t many “big” cities here anyway, that’s true.

Had a test drive on a foldable e-bike today and now I’m extremely tempted to get one of those things. 😅

This is a good reminder to support the work of the FSFE:

@bender@twtxt.net I noticed that I can’t type a . directly. Yesterday, I pasted the number from an email (because why would I type it and probably make a mistake in the process?), so it looks like it simply stripped the dot entirely …

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Dots as thousands separators are the most confusing thing to me. 🥴 I like '. Basically, anything at the bottom should be a decimal point and anything at the top a thousands separator.

Maybe it’s time to think about taking the website and all software offline.

This will open the gates of hell, allowing lawyers to harass free software developers. Not because of the actual content of those proposed laws, because there is supposed to be an exemption for free software – but because there is a great tradition here in germany, where lawyers just make false claims and try to extort money from you. Can you safely ignore them? Should you seek legal council immediately? You never know. It’s best to avoid becoming a target in the first place.

Besides, the current wording is just an EU thing. It will have to be transformed into german law (and french law and spanish law …), which means our legislative bodies can screw up things big time. It’s quite possible that they won’t include that exemption or include it in a very vague and ambiguous way.

I’m really angry right now and hopefully I’ll think differently tomorrow.

Numbers are hard. I just almost accidentally sent 33k€ to someone via bank transfer, because the banking website interpreted 334.90 as 33490,00. 😬 This is germany, so it wants a comma, not a dot …

HTTP caching headers

Yes, absolutely, this should be mentioned in the spec. I’m guilty – when I first wrote my twtxt client, I forgot that If-Modified-Since is a thing. 🤦

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

Regarding section 4 about feed discovery: Yeah, non-HTTP transport protocols are an issue as they do not have User-Agent headers. How exactly do you envision the discovery_url to work, though?

This is from a twt of mine from January 2022:

(This idea gets lost all the time, so I put it into a file now. 😅)

Not sure if this is what @eapl.me@eapl.me had in mind, obviously.

@bender@twtxt.net Ohhh, nice! I tried to learn Morse code a while back (well, 11 years ago, apparently), but never got very good at it. 😢 Ultimately, I didn’t have a real-world application for it. 🫤
