@bender Yes, I see the same. Right-to-left Unicode breaks mutt (and apparently neomutt). It was once reported as an issue:
https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/-/issues/131
They closed it because the solution was supposed to be implemented in terminals … Apparently, that never happened?
@falsifian Ah, I see. 🤔 Maybe I’ll add that. To be honest, I have the same “problem” regarding the slashdot feed. 😅 It’s mostly stuff that I’m not interested in – but from time to time someone replies and then I want to see what it’s about.

@falsifian You mean fetching the feed temporarily and then discarding all its twts again? 🤔 I don’t think there’s an easy way to do that, other than filtering in your mail client, yeah. 🤔

@aelaraji That’s good to know. 🤔 Luckily, the phone wasn’t *full* of 3rd party stuff. There were so few of them actually, that I didn’t really bother looking. That’s why I only found out recently about that Meta stuff.

The soundtrack of World of Goo 2 is amazing. It’s quite epic and melancholic at times.

It doesn’t fit the “cuteness” of the game at all – but there are a lot of contradictions in that game anyway, it’s an important aspect.

Speaking of web server logs: Unless someone posts one of my blog posts on HackerNews (I never do that myself, don’t even have an account), my twtxt.txt file is always *the most requested resource*. 😂 It easily gets several thousand hits, way more than the blog’s Atom feed. 😂

@prologic I didn’t want to hijack @bender’s thread: There’s two things that feel a bit unexpected regarding the requests of 159.196.9.199 in my logs:
1. It doesn’t respect HTTP 301 and instead asks for the same URL every time, thus needing a redirect.
2. Is this *one* Yarn pod or several? I’m seeing multiple requests from this same IP with *different user agents*. It’s not a lot, just about 5 different ones (every couple of minutes), but I thought that Yarn only issued *one* such request? 🤔 You know, when several users follow the same feed, Yarn would only fetch that feed once?

> I run it in a Work profile on my GrapheneOS phone that I can switch off at any time
So this kind of works in stock Android, too. You have to reboot after switching back to the main profile, then the second profile won’t get loaded at all.
(I bet that this stops working in the future. It feels like the second profile doesn’t get loaded as a means to save CPU power. Once those smartphones get even more powerful, there’s no need to do that anymore …)

@prologic I guess I’m more “strict” than you are, probably. DNS queries tell me very little about which data is actually sent to those servers.
On the other hand, this is probably a reasonable argument: The vast majority of users have no idea what a DNS query even is (and they don’t care to begin with), so trying to hide something here is probably not worth the effort for Google/Apple. This would make filtering DNS requests more meaningful after all.
(But you can’t be sure and that is driving me nuts. I don’t want to deal with this in the first place.)

@prologic Yeah, this whole thing of pre-installed third-party apps doesn’t exist on the iPhone. So that appears to be a bit better. You’re still sharing data with Apple and it’s next to impossible to tell what exactly the device does or does not do (just like with Android). If you can’t easily install your own OS, then it’s a lost cause.
Best you can do with any of these devices is disconnect them from the Internet.
