@dce No worries š It's all documented in our soecs, it's not such a common thing that we've felt the great need to really solve, we're aware folks want to sometimes have their feed on several protocols, and that's totally fineā¢ š
@prologic @movq My metadata only has my HTTPS URL. I didn't consider having multiple. I was talking about my config.yaml. Jenny sounds like a good client, so I might give that a try.

@lyse Very nice colors dude! š
@movq Yeah, we've seen how this plays out in practice š¤£ @dce My advice, do what @movq has hinted at and don't change the 1st # url = field in your feed. I'm not sure if you had already, but the first url field is kind of important in your feed as it is used as the "Hashing URI" for threading.
@dce Ah, oh, well then. š„“
My client supports that, if you set multiple url = fields in your feedās metadata (the top-most one must be the āmainā URL, that one is used for hashing).
But yeah, multi-protocol feeds can be problematic and some have considered it a mistake to support them. š¤

It might just be my client, but it seems that I cannot track multiple URLs at once. As such, all three of my twtxt URLs will work for following, but mentions will only reach me at my HTTPS URL (https://hashnix.club/~dce/twtxt.txt). If there is a client that can cope with twtxt mirrors, I would love to know about it.
@movq Why the fuck do they think people need thatā½ Most people don't even use regular tab groups, and now they want to shoehorn an ML model in there as wellā½

The printer isnāt that loud ā at least not for a dot matrix printer. š
Itās been ~30 years since Iāve last seen them in person, but I remembered these things to be louder. Iām typing on my Model M, maybe that contributes to the perceived noise on this video.

So, in addition to HTTPS and Gemini, my twtxt should now also be available over Gopher (gopher://hashnix.club:70/0/~dce/twtxt.txt). Not sure who, if anyone, would need this; but since my tilde provides Gopher hosting, I'd may as well mirror my twtxt there as well.
You know, I think I do actually like it here better than my other social media. It's slower and quieter, but it feels more organic and nobody's trying to sell me anything, promote their podcast, or change the way I think. It's just... nice!

Iāve got a prototype of my hardcopy simulator going. Iām typing on the keyboard and the ādisplayā goes to the printer:

The biiiiiiiiiig problem is that the print head and plastic cover make it impossible to see whatās currently being printed, because this is not a *typewriter*. This means: In order to see what I just entered, I have to feed the paper back and forth and back and forth ā¦ itās not ideal.
I got that idea of moving back/forth from Drew DeVault, who ā as it turned out ā did something similar a few years back. (I tried hard to read as little as possible of his blog post, because figuring things out myself is more fun. But that could mean I missed a great idea here or there.)
But hey, at least this is running on my Pentium 133 on SuSE Linux 6.4, printer connected with a parallel cable. š
(Also, yes, you can see the printouts of earlier tests and, yes, I used ed(1) wrong at one point. š¤Ŗ And ls insisted on using colors ā¦)

Dear @doctormo@doctormo, I'm a great admirer of your work in general and hopefully I won't creep you out by telling everyone I'm your fan!
As a creator of digital vector-based art I find the color management stuff (trying to figure how to generate things to print "in CMYK") mind boggling. I slowly try to read and acquire the concepts and vocabulary to understand more about this. I'm grateful for your work in this area. Thank you!

Also not sure why this post is duplicated on twtxt.net. Ah, well...
This would have been neater, but evidently my client foesn't support multiline posts.
Since 2020, I've been putting together one playlist every year, in which each track represents one month of that year. However, I also have assigned each season two specific songs, which do not change year-to-year: Spring: "A Little Bit Of Love" by Weezer and "Gretel" by Alex G; Summer: "Dumb" by Roe Kapara and "Endless Bummer" by Weezer; Autumn: "1979" by The Smashing Pumpkins and "The Dead Come Talking" by Roe Kapara; Winter: "Red Water (Christmas Mourning)" by Type O Negative and "Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)" by The Darkness

Se calhar foi distracĆ§Ć£o e azelhice minha: quando ouvi falar de reverter a fusĆ£o de freguesias pensava que iam ser todas as qie foram fundidas, na generalidade. Quando soube que foi aprovado, pensava que nestas autĆ”rquicas ia ter freguesias separadas por aqui.

@prologic Iām not smart enough to answer that question. š
Certainly feels like unregulated capitalism. Governments being too slow and/or unwilling to intervene ā¦ Itās a mess.
@thecanine I sure hope thereās going to be push back. Is it going to happen, realistically? I donāt know.
@movq Yeah I'm worried about this too. What's the systemic problem at paay here? Capitalism at it's extreme? š¤
@prologic Yes, this is another instance of restricting āpersonalā computing. You wonāt be able to install arbitrary software anymore (āsideloadingā, as they call it).
Itās not unique, itās not new. Boiling the frog alive.
Weāre heading towards this: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.html
Its like TV. Very few good channels and many bad channels. Or like books. Very few good books and many bad books. Look for spezialized channels and educate your children. Read the bible.com . But only Jesus is reliable. Forget Moses and the punishing God.

> This requirement applies to ācertified Android devicesā that have Play Protect and are preloaded with Google apps. The Play Store implemented similar requirements in 2023, but Google is now mandating this for all install methods, including third-party app stores and sideloading where you download an APK file from a third-party source.

Since nobody is going to push back on this (I donāt even know if that would be possible), this is going to be a reality on every platform sooner or later.
Iād guess in 20, 30 years, there wonāt be āPCsā anymore. No more home computing, no more āI just write my own softwareā. You wonāt own devices anymore, itāll all be rented and the landlord will tell you what you can do with it.
I hope that Iām wrong, but given where we are today, I donāt think that I will be.

Sometimes it's a small thing, it's a bit jarring when orgs that want to pose as international/global publish some copy/event based on US school terms/seasons. That's a reminder of how other people are at the periphery and will be probably ignored most of the time. Isn't it obvious we have different school year arrangements & seasons around the world? I guess @melissawm@melissawm will share my sentiments about this.
I used to be able to sell my music anywhere in the world - and I have managed to send CDs to quite remote places, or kingdoms with nefarious regimes... but now, well, there is one country where I can not ship cassettes or CDs to: the USA šŗšø.
It's not like I'm expecting any loss: I rarely sell music, and when I do it is rarely to the states (I don't know why, I think my stuff ought to be way more popular! š). But still, it is disheartening to see there is now an effective wall, a country where I won't be able to (directly) reach. Congratulations to everyone involved.
[PS: if you're puzzled about what is this all about - a number of European countries, including Portugal, won't be shipping stuff to the US due to legal uncertainty regarding Trump's tariffs.]
I only learned about the .envelope object/propriety in #shapely yesterday, before that I used .bounds (a min/max of points tuple), but envelope is good to know because it provides an easy way of getting the centroid and the area of the bounding box, which can be very useful.
