Trump is a fool !
@bender@twtxt.net Holy moly! š¤Æ
I got some assembly for you: https://images.gatesnotes.com/12514eb8-7b51-008e-41a9-512542cf683b/34d561c8-cf5c-4e69-af47-3782ea11482e/Original-Microsoft-Source-Code.pdf
@xuu@txt.sour.is everyday is an April Fools day that comes true in the US, for the next four years. š©
Please stop calling these silly things AI
Plz i need to know if it was still April fools day someplace when the Tariffs were announced.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org to be clear, I do appreciate criticism, of both my art and and my other projects. Since you pointed it out, I have already fixed all the errors (missing semicolons, overused and incorrectly placed āpā tags, bad CSS workarounds) - all that remains, is last five font tags (maybe even less, by the time you are reading this). š«”
As someone who likes to experiment with slight text color adjustments, I was somewhat of a font tag fan and did not realise, they were actually deprecated - I thought not using them, is still just some suggestion/new best practice.
Theyāll eat ya up, nom nom nom
Hey kids, stay away from computer jobs.
@arne@uplegger.eu Iām very glad I only rarely have to deal with .docx & Co. And when I have to, 99% is in read mode only. Even though, I donāt think that Markdown is the best choice, I use it on a daily basis. Some things, like links, in reStructuredText are better in my opinion.
Jira just resists to switch to Markdown and forces us to use its silly markup language.
For real typesetting, LaTeX is the way to go. But I very, very rarely do that.
Hirschhorn also offers a nice old town. The castle with all its many buildings up the mountain is very beautiful. This is my absolutely favorite one, it just looks soo great:
Walking back down the narrow stairs with all the crooked, well-worn steps of different heights and lengths was quite challenging.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Awwwwww! Thank you, that is now in my collection. :-) The other ones arenāt bad either, very nice!
@thecanine@twtxt.net My apologies, mate! :-( As @david@collantes.us pointed out, this was definitely not my intent at all.
For the easter egg hunt, I first looked for a hidden image map link on the pixel dog in the right lower corner itself. Maybe one giant pixel just links to somewhere else, I figured. But I couldnāt find any and then quickly moved on. Hence, I naturally viewed the HTML source. Because where else would be a good hiding place for easter eggs, right?
Next, I noticed the <font>
tags. I thought I had read quite some time ago that they are not an HTML5 thing, but wasnāt entirely sure about it. So, I asked the W3C HTML validator. Sure enough. I thought I let you know about the violations. If somebody had found a mistake on my site, Iād love to hear about it, so I could fix it. Iām sorry that my chosen form of report didnāt resonate with you all that well. I reckoned youāll also find it a bit funny, but I was clearly very wrong on that.
I actually followed the dog cow link to the video, so I ended up on the easter egg. However, I didnāt recognize it as such. ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ Oh well.
Regarding my message about the browser quirks: I read your answer that you were arguing against the HTML validator findings. Of course, everybody can do with their sites whatever they likes.
@bender@twtxt.net Haha š¤£
Markdown and the Slow Fade of the Formatting Fetish - a nice article about Markdown VS proprietary formatting. With quotes like āMicrosoft Office works in an office where you pretend to work until you can finally go home.ā š
i can see your twts here: https://watcher.sour.is/?uri=https://eapl.me/tw.txt
@david@collantes.us.. i see this one but it says its dead. https://watcher.sour.is/?uri=https://ferengi.one/twtxt.txt
it adds users by finding them in feeds mentioning or following. Your URL is already added.
Hmm i am not sure how you got the URL with users at the end..
@david@collantes.us oh, what a copout. Now you have to visit it yourself and form an opinion on it. :P
Hi, So i made a little MVP registry crawler tool for twtxt. It now has a basic UI to play with. It has a somewhat full history back to about 2018-ish. Plus some interesting bits that were timestamped to earlier.
Find it here: https://watcher.sour.is
Code base is found here: https://git.sour.is/sour-is/xt
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org The bird in the wallpaper? Thatās a photo from a trip to a local zoo. š This little guy was sitting in one of the bushes and didnāt mind people getting rather close. Full version and more from that day.
Since itās now past April 1st, I can finally post the secret hidden caninine, for those who did not find it, during the over half a month, itās been hidden on my websites.
The link for additional context is: https://thecanine.ueuo.com/dogcow.html - you just have to click the image on there.
@eapl.me@eapl.me awesome, and thank you! Sorry I missed all that in the noise. I truly am a TL;DR fan! š
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I do agree āthe rules of the webā, are far too loose - at least the syntax ones. I do think backwards compatibility is necessary.
As for my website, it might be visually very similar, to how it looked since its creation, many years ago, but it is frequently improved. Features that originally used JavaScript, changed to HTML and CSS components, code simplified, optimised to withstand browser updates and new screen resolutions,ā¦ Even a good chunk of the errors on your list, were already addressed and I plan to address the rest soon.
Just find it a bit depressing, that my attempt to bring back some of the old Internet spirit, by making a hidden easteregg page page for this years April 1st, was met with people complaining about April fools day jokes and you insinuating my website sucks.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sorry for being completely offtopic, but thatās a really cute bird! :-)
In Mexico you couldnāt register the word Sonora (state), nor Taqueria (kind of restaurant) as there are two common words, but perhaps the combination of both is trademarkable, Iām not sure, so many ātaqueriasā here donāt file a trademark request. Itās usually āTaquerĆa
A hike to the highest mountain in the Odenwald, the Katzenbuckel, lit. cat hillock. It was very windy and the sun very rarely showed its face, so it was quite chilly. Nice scenery, nevertheless. Surprisingly, this ski-jumping hill is still in operation. Iāve never expected this in a hundred years, judging by its state. https://lyse.isobeef.org/katzenbuckel-2025-03-29/
I am confused (maybe I missed what they said, or didnāt read well). What was āSonora Taqueriaā answer to the cease and desist demand letter[1][1=]? Did the accusers simply dropped their suit efford, or was āSonora Taqueriaā able to make their case (see [1][1=])?
An interesting episode about naming stuff, and some implications of the āTrademarksā

@bender@twtxt.net Hahaha, YMMD! :-D
@prologic@twtxt.net you mean, āIāll ix this oon šā ā¢
Iāll fix this soon š
@andros@twtxt.andros.dev DRM is a solution to the wrong problem.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Iām allways on the frontline! š
probably this one https://yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz/user/kat/twtxt.txt
@eapl.me@eapl.me a āminimalisticā one too, just like Yarnd. š
Iām playing with ratterplatter again: Itās a toy that watches disk I/O and emulates the noise of a real hard disk. (Linux only.) It uses sound samples from one of my older disks.
I tried a different approach at estimating the disk activity and I think I finally got it right (after almost 10 years ā¦ š¤¦).
Demo, booting a Windows 2000 VM: https://movq.de/v/1400544cc6/2kboot-ratterplatter-2.mp4
(For this purpose alone, I put a couple of mini speakers into my PC case, so that the noise comes from the right place: https://movq.de/v/a3b2dc0932/speakers.jpg)
The results arenāt too bad, but this thing canāt be super accurate due to the huge I/O caches that we have these days. For the video, I dropped the caches before booting Windows, otherwise you would have heard almost nothing.
FWIW, if you donāt know it yet, this is the equivalent for proper keyboard sound: https://github.com/zevv/bucklespring
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @xuu@txt.sour.is That sounds like kat! :-)
Is there some Makefile shenanigans going on maybe? $V
and $C
being swallowed by the Makefile. I fell in that trap again the other day.
yeah its from Yarn.. should be $VERSION@$COMMIT
and its supposed to be replaced with the actual version and commit.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh yeah, take some pictures when you do. :-)
Just saw this user agent popping up:
yarnd/ERSION@OMMIT go1.23.4 (+https://.../twtxt.txt; @username)
ERSION? OMMIT? š
@bender@twtxt.net @eapl.me@eapl.me @xuu@txt.sour.is @movq@www.uninformativ.de Glad you all agree. :-D My SOAP knowledge is extremely rusty, I luckily had not to deal with that crap anymore for quite some years now. I even couldnāt remember the XML declaration and had to look it up. ;-)
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org ā¦ I was fully expecting this to be a WSDL file. š
@prologic@twtxt.net I only buy stuff like that, for example games on GOG.COM. Or simply CDs or DVDs. (Rarely I ābuyā a movie on some popular streaming service, fully aware that this is just ārenting itā.)
But yeah, I sadly have to agree with @bender@twtxt.net. š¢
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Aww, this reminds me that I havenāt done any Fraktur/calligraphy in a hell of a long time. I should pick that up again. Itās always nice to see this on old buildings.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org this is 1990ās certified approved
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, to be fair, thereās not much of a difference other than a few grace notes (and just lower frequencies). I was mostly just fooling around with this one. š„“
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, Iām also disappointed each and every time.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org This is so crazy to me. When I think āforestā, I assume āuntouched natureā, but that couldnāt be further from the truth. š«¤
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 1000% superior!
