Well, I use Meta’s services about once a week to contact people who only use FB, IG, and WA (developers from my country on Groups, friends on Messenger, and family). Here everyone uses Whatsapp 24/7 for work and leisure, and mobile carriers offer free access to Meta apps, so it’s difficult to avoid using those 😅

I’m not a pictures person, so I push like 1 photo a year, but I adore microblogging: https://text.eapl.mx/microblogging

I use each service based on the kind of people I’m talking to, mainly to start conversations or share thoughts.
Twitter was like the default for creativity and arts 🎨💻, the reach and discovery of new people and content is decent (based on followers only), but a lot of people moved to Masto due to recent problems we all know.

No one uses Threads here (luckily) and I like twtxt a lot, but none of my close friends are here (yet) 😬

Love the colours 🌇 !

Yeah! This thing is loading Markdown links and images now 😄

Finally Friday! What are you doing this weekend?

Hey tell me about this I found on your feed? 🙏
Sure! By the way it would be great to have your thoughts!

I have started drafting those here:
https://github.com/eapl-gemugami/phpub2twtxt/blob/master/docs/02-metadata-extension.md

Those are: emoji (like on Gemini Station, an emoji instead of an image), lang (default language every twt in the file, or specific for a twt, like on Masto), version (to indicate which version of twtxt spec the txt file is using).

And I was checking that the hashing spec is prone to be extended from 7 characters to 10 or 11, so it would be great to know what that would happen.

Nice to greet you!

I’m reading “Everything is F*cked: A Book about Hope” again. An uncomfortable reading on why we need hope and how we try to achieve it.
It makes me think a lot about my biases, public and private…

Well, I think it’s moment to start finishing the work week and prepare for the weekend. 🤨

Today I found new -isms: Decentralism, federalism, centralism, distributism…

Interesting how information collides with politics and ideology 🤔
Buuut, that’s nothing to worry about (yet).

Could we replace traditional passwords with One Time Passwords?
We should start switching from 6 digits to many more, 10 at least or 16.

TOTP and lookup secrets as first factor authentication

also, the new medication is making me sleep a lot…
I’ll take the opportunity to do so 😴

I’ve been really disconnected from twtxt due to work. Working on ETLs and Python all day long.

Not that bad, although I don’t want to work on the PHP client that much. Anyway, it has the min features to take a conversation, so it works as a minimalist client. 😅

What was the most surprising thing you found this weekend?

Well, I’m watching these games are still alive in Japan! 😮

Why have rhythm games, like DrumMania stopped being popular? Is it due to the disappearance of arcade places?

I random song I found these days:

It’s looking nice!
