@lyxal Well the syntax reminds me of a little bit but yes I see what you mean!
@lyxal Thanks! It looks a little bit like Brainfuck only slightly more available I guess?
I just realized I had much better photos of these Bluey cartoon characters. I will post them here shortlyβ¦
@felixp7 Actually... Which reply of yours did I miss? I went back and had a look at your feed and I'm pretty _sure_ I read 'em all π I _may_ however have not responded to _some_, were you expecting a reply to one in particular? If so which one? π€
@felixp7 I did? Damn I'm sorry π’ Yeah we're working on small tweaks and improvements every day! π Open to ideas/suggestions from you too! π€
I _think_ I could do a better job of integrations Twt Blog Comments alongside Twt Conversations though and make it all a bit more seamless. I _noticed_ your comment but there was no "Conversation" button -- IHMO there _should_ be, or maybe a "Blog" button? π€ Since you are responding to a Twt Blog post and it would be nice to be able to go straight to the blog post and comments..
π€£ Whatβs Keg code?! π
Oh my god! Thatβs insane! π€£
@lukem @dilbert (Becoming Golem) Well its just a suggestion/idea π Ever since we added the Twt Blog feature, it just made a lot of ense to use the same "technique" for this (_I guess we'll call it_) Twt Conversations π
@lukem @dilbert (Becoming Golem) Wondering whether you should remove the ( title of the strip ) now that we have first-class "Conversations"?
There is some kind of weird laser light show going on in our local city the last few nights! π· 
Just hit the quill pen icon button on your next post if you want to turn it into a long form Twt Blog π 
@lyxal if you want Iβd recommend writing a longform post, we call them Twt Blogs π€£
are you kidding me? Thatβs way too early! Seriously what are marketing people thinking these days, is it really just all about commercialism?!
@dilbert (Becoming Golem) hahahaha so true! π€£π
Hello kernel-pancake ! π Welcome to Twtxt! π€
Ooooh and another new person!
@koehr Hello ! π Welcome to Twtxt π€
π£ SEV1: Just wanted to announce and be as _transparent_ as possible. Earlier today at around 1300-1330 AEST we had an outage on all Twt.social pods (_including this one_). We apologise for any inconvenience caused! It was just a silly bug π π· 
This is what an arrow does to a plate of 1.6 mm steel shot from a traditional 35lb bare-bow recurve bow! πΉπ· 
I mean itβs fine, just be aware of whatβs happening with the data that you are sending them! π€£ perhaps read their terms and conditions to understand what they do with it all?!
π€£π iβm so glad you all liked the new feature! I like it to π
@antonio why thank you! Thank you very much! π
Nope! I _think_ your Grammar is just fine! Also btw... You know Grammarly _basically_ take all your keystrokes and shove that into their Cloud service right? (_I don't know what else they do with all this text that users enter into their systems! π€·ββοΈ_)_
I guess the US has its own plans? π€
As _usual_, if you discover any bugs or weird oddities, please LMK! Thanks π
π AN: Introducing "Conversations" You _can_ now just "Reply" and join in a so-called "thread" of "conversation". Conversations are only single-threaded, and they do not break the original design or spec, so it works for twtxt users in the wider Twt community too! π€ Happy Twt'ing! π π· 
@slashdot (re 12" MacBook) Oh this is wonderful news! Can't wait to replace my ~4yr old 12" Macbook with a newer one! π~
@dooven wow thatβs gorgeous! You really live in a very nice part of the world π
@antonio (re Laptop with Max keyboard) I donβt get it! π€£
@lukem (re Github Kanban) Oh so its is new π€£
@lukem (re Github Kanban) Oh cool! I _didn't_ know you could do that! That _must_ be new?
@lukem (re Github Kanban) Yeah tbh I'm not sure I don't see more projects/companies use them? π€·ββοΈ They're really not that bad really, except for the fact they don't support multiple repos?
@twilightsparkle (re Hexagoneplus) Can you explain this thing to the rest of us like we're 5? πWhat is this thing? I've never heard of your project before π€£
It was suppose to be a full moon π tonight! But there's too much cloud cover π’ (Posted with Goryon) π·
Captured just before it fell! (posted from Goryon for Twt)
@antonio (Goryon update) very nice! Just installed it!
@lyxal whoops yes I did! Fixed π
Temple of Athenia π· 
Look forward to full restoration! π 
#Greek #Temple
@off_grid_living How do you find the new feature et all? π Also please re-upload a pretty mug shot of yourself as your Avatar still shows up as an auto-generated identicon for me (_and the rest of us_) since adding the better highly compressed lossless WebP support π πββοΈ
@lukem @antonio @dooven (re image picker) Do we need a separate API endpoint to handle this? One doesn't exist currently. I can add one today? How should it work? Accept an image/* content-type as a PUT?
@rell (re Alex Echo) Normally I would love to be the recipient of _freebies_, however over the years I have grown rather tired of all this "big brother" from Tech Giants like #Amazon #Google #Facebook and #Microsoft (_Note that #Apple is excluded from this list because their business model does not include selling your data for advertising_) that ultimately profit off of the "Digital Footprint" you leave _happily_ just hand over to them (_well I guess it's in their T&C when you signed up!_). So thank you but no thank you πββοΈ Not fo me! But _maybe_ others _might_!
Right. ~4hrs of solid ~70% productive work (_funny how Slack is considered "distracting" even though one is required to keep-up-to-date with what your colleagues are up to!_) Must be πΊ o' β°
@dooven (re injured foot) So... More #Goryon #App development then? π€£ (_PS: sorry to hear about your injury! π’_)_
@antonio Cool I look forward to it! Also you just made me think that a very useful feature for the blog posts is to be able to save a draft in your local storage so that you can come back and continue editing later. I might see if I can work on that later this week!
π What a way to end the month! π This pod twtxt.net has seen an impressive ~1.5M hits! (_we hope to see new pods spun up and greater activity overall in the Twt.social network!_) π· 
#twtxt #August2020~
@antonio Wow! π² That's amazing! What's even more amazing is how this new Twt Blog Feature is _actually_ rather "engaging" (_or is it maybe just the #honeymoon period?! π€£ I guess time will tell!_) I _wonder_ if anyone else can contribute to this little collection of interesting #Gnome (s) and #Bluey (s) along random walking trails π€
It's issues like this that remind me why I don't enjoy writing C _really_ (_and never really did_), the ecosystem is just _frankly_ terrible. Yes everything we see, hear and touch in our lives is built on it (_for examples the hundreds of millions of lines of C code that powers all of the Internet, Wen and your Mobile devices!_) but still, I really can't stand running into such silly things like linkage problems or having to fight with systems. #sre #rant
@lukem That's the interesting thing of what we've built here. In a way we _could_ just simply export your blog from any Twt.social pod like this one. You _can_ even export and take with you all the media you uploaded and possibly linked to as well. These capabilities are planned. Right now we _don't_ statically generate the marked up content of the Twt Blog Post itself, because its tightly integrated into Twt itself in a way that allows other Twt users to "join-in" so to speak and contribute to the discussion. In any case, hope to see more from you! π€
Wow! π² What a nicely written first Twt Blog Post! I had to get Google to translate for me "YELLOW GOOD SELF, TAKE GOOD SELF" (_no idea if that's even correct or does it justice!_). Nice write up! I _really_ hope (_despite your first paragraph_) you continue to write more! I really agree that we (_as a society_) at large have "forgotten" how to have meaningful discourse! (_Thanks #Facebook #Twitter #Instagram #TikTok #LinkedIn and all the others..._). Hopefully what we've done here will go _just that little_ bit towards brining back what we lost (_or simply gave up!_).
In my recent travels I came across probably the only video store rental left in all of Australia! And here I thought all these things shut down years ago π€£π· 
#Video #Store
@off_grid_living In some respects, I owe this all to you! I _might_ have chosen a different career path had it not been for you purchasing me my first computer! Thank you for the wonderful trip down memory lane! I do recall the subst E: C: trick I had to do all those years ago! π² Sadly I don't recall the de-engineering I allegedly did for _some_ computer virii (_oh well π€·ββοΈ_). Thanks for writing the 2nd ever #twtxt #blog post! πββοΈ_
@dilbert (Not A Monopoly) Makes you wonder doesn't it? π€
@felixp7 (re Small Web) Nice write-up on what (_I have no idea who coined it?_) "Small Web". Very nicely written. +1 for #twtxt_
@felixp7 (twtxt.net) π€£ I had to look up the meaning of the word βflooredβ in the urban dictionary! Sorry for fatiguing you with feature overload so quickly βΊοΈ
@felixp7 (twtxt.net) So glad you like the new features! π€
@dooven (re Goryon in Beta!) That will be awesome! Probably almost worth of just taking it out of Beta (_if it weren't for the fact that we may very likely break the backend API soon_)
@dooven (re Goryon in Beta!) Nice work! π Let's keep pushing for "feature parity" π
@antonio Thank you! I'm really quite thrilled to be honest! I really love the new feature, especially the Hash Tag based replies and grouping. It works really nicely and I _think_ it keeps with the original design and spirit quite well.
@antonio (re blog posts) Yes! I just posted my first one! (_thank god I got in first! π€ π€£_) I _also_ think in general we _should_ do Twt replies like I've done in this new feature. It actually works really nicely! π_
π NEW: Just finished and released a new feature that will be rolling out to all pods within the next few minutes (_its automated_). For the tech/devs here [Add support for long-form posts (blog psots)](https://github.com/jointwt/twtxt/pull/152) -- For everyone else, you can now (_optionally_) write long articles, posts, blogs, whatever and replies associated with _that_ post also work nicely! π Enjoy! π€
@lyxal Alba I meant mate in two moves!
@hellson got any pictures to share of the progress? ππ·
Challenge: White to play, checkmate in two minutes. Can you solve it? 
π· #Chess #Puzzle
@lyxal Oh cool, Iβll look it up later!
@dooven (re Walkies!) Oh wow that looks so awesome! Please share more pics! π
I just added Remote Mention Syntax which is basically _syntactic sugar_ that turns @user@domain into the twtxt URI form of @ < nick url >
@felixp7 (re Sigil and eBooks) Ahh that's kind of neat turning a series of posts into a book. _Could_ even do that with a series of Twt posts (_though you'd be doing that for a full year before you had enough content for a book!_); And no I'm sure I don't want a coupon, very generous of you! But I'll throw a few $ your way π
Put another way... "Life is too short to worry!" π€
@felixp7 (re Walled gardens in disguise) Removed? Oh that's a shame. I wonder if its in the Internet Archive? I don't even like that we _built_ a [Delete] feature here to be honest, but there are _very good_ reasons to be able to go back and edit your last twt or even delete it (_e.g: you said something silly, polarising, or something warranted!_); it kind of saddens me the world has gotten to a point where everything has to be "PC" and god forbid we should step on anyone's toes for fear we'll upset the poor little darlings! π€£
@felixp7 (re Sigil and eBooks) Yeah can't say I've ever written a book before though so we'll see! π€£ Going to purchase your [Vryheid](https://gumroad.com/felixp7#) novel though, I've never really gotten into reading novels myself, so first time for everything I suppose π
Hmmmm π€π· #Monkey #Zoo
