They’re upset that they don’t get to spy on private information because they used an ephemeral channel to send it?
Are they upset because they erased the white boards too?
@mckinley@twtxt.net No worries 👍
@prologic@twtxt.net I can’t really commit to that. Don’t plan anything around me.
Amazon Defends Its Use of Signal Messages in Court
America’s Federal Trade Commission and 17 states filed an antitrust suit against Amazon in September. This week Amazon responded in court about its usage of Signal’s “disappearing messages” feature.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Ok 👌
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I wondered that too but I’m not sure now hmmm🤔
Thank you, @prologic@twtxt.net. Once you leave the shitty towns, our scenery is very nice. Doesn’t compare to other places, but I’ve seen also way worse. :-)
Hmm, didn’t yarnd automatically inline image URLs back in the days? Looks like I have to resort back to markdown images again.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That is bloody lovely👌
@iolfree@tilde.club I n d e e d !
Let’s just go with that view: https://lyse.isobeef.org/wanderung-auf-den-wasserberg-und-das-fuchseck-2024-05-18/24.jpg
💡 Does anyone have any ideas for how to combat SPAM submissions to feeds.twtxt.net – An RSS/Atom -> Twtxt feed conversation service. Hmm? 🧐
Two mates and I went on a 25km hike yesterday to the Wasserberg (lit. Water Mountain) and Fuchseck (lit. Fox Corner) on the edge of the Swabian Alb. They arrived by train and of course it was delayed by half an hour, “due to limited availability of tracks”. That was a first one, I never heard that reason before. Another train had a breakdown in a train station and later my mates’ train had to be rebooted, too. That restart alone took 10 minutes. O_o Software problem, it can’t be helped.
It rained the whole day before, so a lot of foot paths had turned into small creeks. Also, the mud levels were much higher than usual. We also took one or the other shortcut which were even messier. And also reeaalllly steep (see 07 and 08). It didn’t help that my guiding abilities also sucked a bit and I took the wrong turn twice. Oh well, we just explored new paths I’ve never been on. That’s a win in my book. :-)
After a rest at the Wasserberghaus with a Spezi, we then decided to also visit the Fuchseck, since we’re just around the corner. It took a bit longer that I remembered and after enyoing the view and eating homemade waffles with apple sauce, we then made our way home.
About 100 meters in front of the train station it began to rain. The thunderstorm caught up on us. We just made it in time, a couple of minutes later, the train was supposed to show up. I quickly walked home and was a bit soaked when I unlocked the front door.
It was great fun, it was a nice stroll for me, my mates were absolutely exhausted. Well, I admit, my feet hurt, too. :-)
Here’s a nice view on the Three Emperor-Mountains in the distance. From left to right: Hohenstaufen, Rechberg and Stuifen, the left one is my backyard mountain:

@thecanine@twtxt.net Btw… Do you have a web (ideally) based gallery view of your pixel art work here somewhere? 🤔
Ahh damn 😢 Can you recommend anything for iOS / iPadOS or even Web? 🤔
That was legible when I typed it. There were extra spaces between the words
@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you. I’m using Pixel Station. I can’t recommend it enough for this kind of pixelart, but it’s only available for Android.
K i l l m e n o w 🤣
H e i l i g e r S p e r r s a t z , B a t m a n !
@prologic@twtxt.net That’s a lovely campfire! Let’s see what my hike produced yesterday.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, made in Denmark.
@thecanine@twtxt.net Woof, woof. :-)
@thecanine@twtxt.net Hey! That’s really cute 🥰 Please share with me again, what do you use for drawing pixel art? I wanna see if my daughter is interested in this 🤔
The first and hopefully not last thing I drew this year (drawn yesterday). Kinda minimalistic and Scribble Kibble inspired.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I guess not 🤣
Also the plan was/is for once a month 👌
@mckinley@twtxt.net @shreyan@twtxt.net Does a 4 hour window from 11am UTC to 2pm UTC work for you both? 🤔
@shreyan@twtxt.net Same here. I work relatively late so I’m never up that early.
@prologic@twtxt.net Nice! Save some marshmallows for me.
This is what the last couple of weeks have been like at work 🔥
Following in @mckinley@twtxt.net‘a style 😆
MOTW: What’s the most interesting media (photo, video, image or screenshot) you’ve captured this week? 🤔
@shreyan@twtxt.net You can join at 6am or even later!
The timing is never strict and I usually just leave the call open for quite a few hours 👌
My sincere apologies @shreyan@twtxt.net 🙏
For anyone else that can’t login to twtxt.net and believe they had an account, please reach out to me. I suffered a recent database corruption. Your feed is likely still there, so just reach out and we can sort out any mess 🙏
@prologic@twtxt.net Ooh exciting! 12 PM UTC is 5 AM PST so I can’t make it but very cool anyways
@mckinley@twtxt.net Oh well in that case, I’d redesign the IRC protocol to be more like a combination of what Signal is today but with SMTP like capabilities. A bit like what we’ve been trying to do with Salty IM – So-called “federated” instant messaging, with group support and fully e2e encrypted.
@prologic@twtxt.net Any of the above
I wonder if I can turn this into a multi-protocol browser 🤔
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Damn no native macOS builds 😢
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yeah, there is no guarantee with any of these things, it can all be faked or ignored. 🫤 I’m still going to do it in the hopes that some of those bots respect it.
Wait a minute! Nyxt browser can surf gopher, gemini aaaaaand http!? 😲
@mckinley@twtxt.net I just got bitten by this again: I would make passive mode the default mode of FTP. 🥴
Some clunking machine at the coffeeshop is in perfect sync with the pop song playing on the sound system.
I spent some more time with StarOffice 3.1 and it is indeed a bit clunky (of course it is, it’s from 1996). For example, a table of contents does not update automatically – you have to delete it and re-insert it. Sometimes it has graphical glitches. Font rendering isn’t too great.
And yet, I wish we would use this instead of $the_other_thing
at work. It’s much faster (on my Pentium 133!) and more featureful. 🫤 (Or, you know, StarOffice’s modern descendant: LibreOffice.)
Okay, GPS performance has degraded a lot over the last few days.
- Time to first fix is a couple of minutes now, instead of 5-30 seconds.
- Accuracy is reduced greatly, probably because the phone can one lock on to about 6-12 satellites, this used to be around 30 satellites.
In theory and under good conditions, you need 4 satellites to get a fix. But in reality, there are rarely “good conditions”, there are always buildings, hills, or trees nearby, so you need as many satellites as you can possibly get.
It’s not completely useless (yet), but it’s not great. I think I’m gonna lift some firewall restrictions. 🫤
@prologic@twtxt.net Ahhh, I right, now I remember. That ai.txt
boils down to this, I guess:
User-Agent: *

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Found it!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Only found 3 results for “robotst.xt” and OpenAI 😢 I seem to recall an effort (I cannot find) to build a standard for AI Crawlers similar to robots.txt
