@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Bahahaha 🤣 The domain for that image is blocked on my local network 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Good luck! 🤞

@mckinley@twtxt.net I see 🤔

@mckinley@twtxt.net What happened to it? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de To be fair Twtxt has always been quite niche. Yarn picked up interest a bit a few years back, but then things died down a bit. I built yarnd for me, I continue to use it and improve it every now and again. But I guess the only uses we’ll continue to see and that includes new folks are folks that give a shit about simple things, and see value in a slow, privacy focused medium? 🤔

Cut my following list down to just a mere ~47 feeds. ~11 rss/news feeds, 23 local feeds from my pod, and 13 external feeds.

@news@twtxt.net Err I meant “junk” 🤣 (too late to edit, cbf editing it manually or via the API/CLI 😅)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Could also just be a shitty antenna 😅

I just unfollowed some ~200+ feeds that are basically dead “404 Not Found” 😳

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Well I used to have a handheld GPS device, probably before I lost most of my sight. I didn’t really feel that it took ~12m to get a fix, it was usually much faster. You may just find that all this A-GPS thing is all just bullshit anyway and just an excuse to collect and store your GPS location on some random web server that someone else owns 🤣

If Sam Altman really wanted “AI” to be in the hands of the people, he a) Should not have made deals with multiple devils that turned OpenAI into a proprietary company. b) Sold most of the company to Microsoft.

hey @oevl@twtxt.net you’re still around right? I’m not imagining it 😅 How are ya? 🤔

@mckinley@twtxt.net Looks pretry interestinf 🤔

Sorry folks, it was a total disaster 🤣 Had to disable the new feature 😢

• ran out of disk space
  
• blew up the db on this pod (corrupted)
  
• lots of missing features and. broken shit™

And we’re back!

👋 This Pod (https://twtxt.net) will go offline for ~15m shortly, while I perform an offline index of the archive.

@xuu@txt.sour.is You got any time/energy to help me test this? 🤔 There’s a process for indexing an existing archive too…

Okay, I’ve built full search capabilities for yarnd 😅 Let’s see how many bugs I’ve created 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think my daughter might be finally 🤔 She’s 9 now and getting into table tennis 🏓 whoot whoot! 🥳 So… Maybe…

Yeah nothing being logged, so all the “golden paths” are being executed hmm 🧐

@bmallred@staystrong.run I don’t think so. Let me check my pod’s logs now though that I know you’re pulling me feed…. One sec…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah I’ll see if I can get back into this, everytime I see you post stuff like this it makes me want to go out again 🤣 Bit hard for a blind guy to do it all, but still I try 😅

The weird this is I still see your profile as

bmallred may not follow you

I assume you share your followings publicly, I see them on your feed, so I assume so. I was going to debug this on my side too today to see if.I goofed something up but my pod is rather busy so I hadn’t done that yet 😅 (actually working again finally on search)

@bmallred@staystrong.run D’oh 😅 Just in the nick of time haha 😜 Good o, I’m very pleased this all works across very different pieces of software 👌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh that’s hilarious 😆 I have the exact same setup (minus any filters, I only have those for my Celestron NextStar 4SE telescope) 🔭

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow! 🤩 That is impressive! 👌 Do you mind sharing how you went about doing this? 🙏

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Look forward to the results 🤞

Oh so it really does hit some stupid arbitrary endpoint at AWS 😱

Hey @bmallred@staystrong.run 👋 Can you see this? 🤔

I will be deleting 14 inactive and unused accounts (for >3 years) on my Gitea instance git.mills.io at some point over the next few days. One of those accounts is yours @adi@twtxt.net – If you’d like to keep it, I suggest you sign-in 😅

I can’t imagine it’s a static URL either, it surely has to be a unicast address of some sort. Relying on a static URL sounds like an utter disaster to me 🤔 I’d have to read the open spec on this…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Surely it isn’t as bad as this though right? 🤔 I mean reading the Wikipedia page on A-GPS, it sounds to me like it sends enough data to the nearest tower to give you enough data to warm-up the GPS receivership, presumably with GPS coordinates of the tower itself? I can imagine this data payload would include the Date/Time, IEMI and possibly your SIM details and Phone number (why not). It could be worse 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Welcome back! 🤗

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha cya 👋

@mckinley@twtxt.net Yeah pipes and shell pipelines are a powerful and easy to use tool 👌

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com What was the blocker for using Gitea? 🤔

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com You can also file issues in Gitea too 👌

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I think you tried to email me with an encrypted GPG email? 📧 Unfortunately the inbox you sent to (managed by Google Workspaces / GMail) isn’t equipped with any GPG or my keys so I had to decrypt by hand, which sux. Are you on Signal?

Alternative message me on Salty IM (https://salty.im) at prologic@mills.io

@mckinley@twtxt.net Ahh that is clever indeed 👌 You’re essentiall creating FIFO pipes with >(..) 🧐

Deeply questionable legality aside, do any of you use Copilot? Has it had any material impact on your programming work? Is its use allowed by your employer, or do you only use it for personal projects at home?

No never and I never will!

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net

As an aside, my opinion on GitHub Copilot is clear – it’s quite possibly the largest case of copyright infringement in human history, and in its current incarnation it should not be allowed to continue to operate. As I wrote over a year ago:

I wrote about this three years ag! https://www.prologic.blog/2021/07/11/why-i-no.html

Sounds perfect 👌

Follow-up question:

What do we call it when you get to engage in discussion over topics you find in these “filter bubbles” with a different viewpoint, only to be shot down, overridden, or met with other arguments that support the existing “filter bubble”’s state?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Bingo!

Consequently, users become separated from information that disagrees with their viewpoints, effectively isolating them in their own cultural or ideological bubbles, resulting in a limited and customized view of the world.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Where to? 🤔

What’s that thing called when everyone on a social media platform (hardly matters which one) all post the same sort of thing. It all sounds oh so wonderful, or all so dramatic, everyone claps and cheers and thumbs up or whatever. What’s that thing called? There’s a term for it hmmm 🧐

Use your energy 💪

we’ll just have to run another one in early June just for you 😅

@bender@twtxt.net LOL well I’ve scheduled it for the end of the month 😆

@dbucklin Nice quote 👌
