In-reply-to » @prologic idk, where I work everyone wants to use PowerPoint and they want my slide decks. If you don't have that problem, good!

Yeah I totally understand even if I don’t agree with it and find it insanely stupid that we continue to use these crappy ass proprietary tools 🤦‍♂️

In-reply-to » Germany Urges Loophole for EU Ban on Fossil-Fuel Cars: Synthetic Carbon-Captured Fuels CNN reports: When EU lawmakers voted to ban the sale of new combustion engine cars in the bloc by 2035, it was a landmark victory for climate. In February, the European Parliament approved the law. All that was needed was a rubber stamp from the bloc's political leaders.

@marado@twtxt.net Ahh yeah I remember that Yarn well 👌

It’s very frustrating that between large corporations and nations nobody (including Australia who are some of the worst offenders here with lack of climate action) are taking this very seriously 🤦‍♂️

Like can we just stop mining and burning Coal already?! 🤔

In-reply-to » Go Interfaces - HedgeDoc -- Slide dkec on Go Interfaces I'm presenting today 👌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks for the review! I’ll quickly fix this up before the presentation today (midday) 😅 In terms of conventions and naming however, yes these are actually called “adverbs”. An adverb is a noun that describes a verb, usually be putting an “er” on the end of a verb. But thi doesn’t always work and sometimes it’s hard to do, so that’s why ServeHTTP instead of Handle() for the Handler interface. Even though there is the Handle and HandleFunc function types 🤷‍♂️

In-reply-to » @prologic something have been broken with links to external feeds for a long time. Clicking the mention of @dfaria@dfaria.eu in Phi's post directs to this nonsense URL: https://neotxt.dk/external?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fdf%2Ftwtxt.txt&nick=df Media

Hmm I just visited your pod, hit the same conv uris and wasn’t able to repro. Where did you get that broken weird ass looking external profile link from in the first place? I don’t see it 🤔

In-reply-to » oofff. Ive been on twitter for 15 years. But this right here is making me consider to just not be there anymore. Not cool that he'll do this, but not unexpected either.. The engagement I get on twitter is low enough already, but will tank after this if I do not pay for it.

@stigatle So basically you have to give up PII in order to use Twitter™ now?! 🤔

In-reply-to » Can we just use RICO to put Larry and Sergey in prison? Like, they literally discussed actively ensuring to move conversations applicable to litigation holds to places with history off regularly to avoid being caught violating the law. The entire company is a criminal conspiracy. https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/27/epic-games-produces-documents-in-antitrust-case-showing-googlers-avoiding-its-litigation-hold/

@ocdtrekkie@twtxt.net What has Google gone and done now , or not done (not read the article)? 😆🤔

In-reply-to » Cryptocurrencies Add Nothing Useful To Society, Says Nvidia The US chip-maker Nvidia has said cryptocurrencies do not "bring anything useful for society" despite the company's powerful processors selling in huge quantities to the sector. From a report: Michael Kagan, its chief technology officer, said other uses of processing power such as the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT were more worthwhile than mining crypto ... ⌘ Read more

@eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com Yeah no shit 😆 The value of the current *GPT hype is also questionable and raises a lot of security and privacy concerns for me – But we’ll see – Wake me up when I can run and self-host more of these ML models on modest hardware.

In-reply-to » Worked a bunch this weekend trying to decommission an EC2 server (hosting App.net archives!) by moving millions of little files to S3. Taking forever, often failing. I’ve been maintaining this for years and really want to turn the page on it, but can’t accept losing any data.

@manton@manton.org What does app.net do, or did? 🤔

In-reply-to » Shall we promote the filter_and_lists feature in yarnd? 🤔 I still don't like where the Logout button is, but I've gotten used to it 😅 (you are right it's hardly used really)

@darch@neotxt.dk Maybe it’s okay the way it is? 🤔 (I’ve gotten used to it)

@darch@twtxt.net I’m good with that 👌

As for where to put the logout button, I don’t k ow 😆

In-reply-to » @marado There appears to be a bunch of actors on the domain ciberlandia.pt that I believe you are following. I only know this from logs and because the Activity Pub implementation is still highly experimental and still fixing a lot of shit™ 😅

@marado@twtxt.net doing so will mean it was an explicit action from you and the internal state will be updated and new notes from those actors will no longer be dropped 👌

@marado@twtxt.net Yeah I’m just saying to unfollow and refollow any AP actors since I’ve made code changes that affect this 👌

I don’t understand what we’re doing here. We either ban the use of combustion fossil fuels or we don’t and let the Earth be scorched 🤦‍♂️ I thought Germany was a pretty progressive country 🤔

In-reply-to » Last Friday, I had my first public speaking appearance, albeit internal but still spoke in front of 60+ people.

@screem@twtxt.net Well done! 👏 I can’t say I find public speaking easy or natural at al, takes practise for me. Did you imagine the audience all naked? 🤣

I plan on making nginx try to connect to a socket on /home//.www/socket and I plan on making it fallback onto /home//public_html like it is doing them right now.

@jmjl@tilde.green No this is correct Markdown actually 😅 Its just not very commonly used, but it is well supported with all the Markdown parsers 🤣

@jmjl@tilde.green As I said, the capability is already there, we just don’t surface it very well beyond the “Followers” list and the “Profile” views. See

– What would be nice (maybe?) is some kind of in-app “notification”.

@jmjl@tilde.green Usually it’s surfaces in a user’s followers list but is only visible to the user obviously.

The hard part is easily identifying new followers.
