@lyse @adi i've only ever seen them on youtube, go figure :D
i had a weird dream involving an otter and some code for this platform. come back dream otter, or at least send me your patch by email.
@adi @prologic tomatoe tomatoh? :P more seriously, if you look at labor laws (or lack thereof) in different countries you could probably draw some parallels.
@adi @prologic i'm gonna sound cliched but that's capitalism, basically
@adi @vain @prologic to me it is, especially with the way the claim things should be. they go on and on about needless features and such and then they put a bar and keybindings in their wm. i could go on but i don't want this to become a rant more than it is already :D
@prologic wait til this guy finds out that sort of things don't only happen in megacorps, or that water is wet. every now and again i come across posts like this and have to wonder how sheltered these people are. that's what work life is like for most people everywhere, if not worse. OTOH i suppose it's nice to see more people finally join the conversation
i'd like to be cheeky for a moment and propose combining @prologic 's "no tech giants" idea with a "let's see how long you can go with unpatched suckless.org software" challenge :P
@prologic @vain i always considered suckless (as in suckless.org) to be bad software written badly. if the first thing i have to do after installing your software is apply a bunch of patches (several times, because the order isn't always evident) it's not a good sign. they also seem to consider documentation to be an unnecessary feature, apparently
@prologic heh, yep. this is something we've discussed before too. i guess the way to fix it (for now) would be to delete one of them?
@prologic i can, and have, for the longest time. half of those bring nothing to the table, the other half... let's just say "the net is vast and infinite"
Es ley. Aguante todo. Vamos carajo.
@prologic @adi no matter what you're doing, Electron is NEVER the answer. just say no.
@prologic @auau65535 i think they're getting a tumblr account because it's more ubiquitous? that's what i could gather
@prologic it could be interesting. how would you do it?
@oevl los links a tu phlog no estan funcionando, chequea tu gophermap. Has oido hablar de gopher://texto-plano.xyz ? date una vuelta cuando puedas
@prologic haha, FAP. Hello, i'm an eternal 12 year old
@prologic that would be awesome, looking forward to it
@prologic @lyxal admittedly, i claimed it because i have the intention of using it, but i thought maybe my self hosted file would get replicated here. Not that having my "main" file on someone's pod is a bad idea or anything
@prologic i have to say i'm with @lyxal on this one. I registered here to claim my username, but in doing so i had no idea this feed would take precedence over my self hosted one. And since i'm self hosting (and have been subscribing to "slow" usage of the internet more and more) i don't feel compelled to post all the time, which may or may not be considered a hiatus
@prologic do you suppose your go-gopher thing could be somehow grafted onto hugo to generate a gophermap?
@birb @prologic pretty sure i don't live in the same country as you guys so... :P
@felixp7 @prologic i'm looking to set up gitea myself. Not sure if i'll ever get contributors to stuff that will eventually end up there, but i suppose i'll cross that bridge when i get to it
@prologic @felixp7 the people from sourcehut propose git by email as a solution to this. can't say i've tried it, but i like the idea of using email properly again
@prologic github_blog (#wid5aaa) you should lose respect for them anyway, they're a part of microsoft and they also have contracts with the part of the US govt that set up concentration camps
@prologic a glitch of some sort, i'm not sure what. must have been pebcak as usual (or my connection being crap) but for quite a while, none of your posts were showing up on my local timeline. This was a clear red flag since i know you post a lot.
@prologic did you change something? i can't see posts from here using txtnish anymore
@prologic I'm not sure, i was just throwing it out there. are all direct messaging protocols "their own thing"? like, do they only work with and within their designated app? or could we somehow leverage xmpp? i'm just saying a bunch of words here, i don't know if any of this would make sense or be possible/a good idea
@prologic what about trying to adopt some preexisting format? is there any that would be good? also maintaining two feeds is a bit odd :D
@prologic and yes, i would consider credentials necessary when speaking to a pod. i suppose the sync could be performed as the post-tweet-command?
@prologic I'm currently making my way through Head First Go, so it might be a little while before i can contribute code, but i'm all for making stuff. especially command line stuff. i even a couple projects i wanna try my hand at when i'm ready
would importing into a pod imply using just the pod feed? or would it be possible to continue posting to a local feed and have it replicate on the pod? i feel like my second question would be more of a feature for a client rather than a server or pod, however. What do you think @prologic ?
@birb can we just scream a whole bunch?
@dooven @antonio thank you for clarifying. Also is the phone client on F-Droid?
just claiming my user name. is there a way to integrate this into my preexisting twtxt or should i just keep with that one?
