@adi one is novaburst wo is in my followers, but only hosts the file on his site, so I don't think he'll talk here.
The other person I initially mentioned also hosted the file on his site and seems to no longer even update it.

@prologic Yeah, guess that could be one of the very low priority features, but I don't know how useful it'd be here, as it's mostly used to farm likes and shares by posting in the time where the big accounts following you are active, hoping they see, share and make it blow up.\nWith like/share farming not being possible here, I don't know if I'd ever use it, when I don't even use it on the platforms where both of those things can already be done. 😄

@prologic Definitely looking forward to that being added, but I'm still not sure if anyone will ever read it, as people usually don't.\nMaybe you can do it the Twitter way and introduce Yarn +, where you can pay $9.99 and have your future posting features and than split your profit with the doggo who gave you this idea. 😂~~

@prologic Maybe you could do some kind of a compromise and put them on top of the users profile, but not the timeline visible by everyone, kind of like a timedbpin Tweet, so one could at least somewhat promote future stuff. 🤔
@fastidious Oh, so we have scheduled posting features now, except the fact they're just kinda accidental, rather than planned. 😄
@prologic maybe it could be a separate thing, like blogs.twtxt.net that'd just show all the blogs from the users and be it's own thing, but not really actively developed until the time for it comes or something. 🤔
@prologic That kinda ruins the fun time travel mystery. 😂 But on a serious note, couldn't they just be cached with the time they get loaded at or something? 🤔
@fastidious We don't use anything from their language anymore. Nor did we since the fall of communism. I just had to learn some basic Russian in the university, so I still have the Russian keyboard installed. 🙃
This trick also works on a lot of big platforms, including Discord. 🙂
@fastidious I don't think it should be, it's fun to "nothingpost". 🙂
Misspelled unsearchable, but still can't find it on search.twtxt.net without copying and pasting it. It's just a stupid thing, combining our letters with the Russian ones. 🙃
Nnsеаrсhаblе уаrn роst. 😏
@fastidious I was just wondering if one couldake an empty Yarn Post and it can't be completely empty, but it can be bold empty. (one space between the bold markups). 😄
I present you you nothing (but bold). 😄
@movq a fellow QT WebKit user or some other kind?
The browser I maintain myself is still using Chromium (CefSharp), but I got Otter browser to play with QT WebKit. If your browser has a Windows or Android version, let me know and I'll check it out. 😄

@prologic Already did. Good to see the new server setup working. :)
university computer that is.
First Yarn post from uni. :D
@adi I think it's better I don't, for the sake of everyonesn sanity. The Yokai inugamies who have a page might be a part of mythology, but not really fiction deities (maybe demons).
The only "modern" inugami even mentioned on Wikipedia is Sadaharu, the white inugami from the anime Gintama and even he is only mentioned in a list (called "List of Gin Tama characters").
In his description it links to the Yokai inugami page, which is probably because that's the only one that can be written using any "real sources", as the other kinds like the one Gintama used or the one I'm using were changed to fit best with the lore they needed to fit into and honestly even between these two there are some pretty key differences, so Wikipedia is probably better of with just one entry about the Yokai kind (as described in Japanese mythology), rather than also having a long list of every other interpretations that came afterwards and were only used for one or two characters. 😄

@adi This list of list listing list isn't inclusive enough, it has a section for fictional deities, but inugamies (the species of my dog mascot) are excluded, despite having a Wikipedia page, even though that page only talks about the Yokai "version" of an inugami, which probably sharea no similarities with the "modern" inugamies, such as myself. 😏
Yeah, this is the reason why I usually refer to myself as a dog or a canine, to prevent myself from writing inugami related text walls in every post. 😂

@adi Not on product/project pages sadly. Those usually either cherry pick the most positive reviews or say things like "say something positive about our thing and we might put you on the page, linking to your account".
@adi You'd have to ask Facebook. I'm just saying that it seems like they're trying to do some weird things, like back when I was in secondary school a teacher came to us and said that despite him never saying he was a teacher on Facebook, Facebook knew it and was asking him to talk to his students about bullying and now during elections or COVID, they often come out with popups, trying to "disprove missinformatio" or ban the more conspiracy oriented or in general most of the not so advertiser friendly groups. So I guess they were trying to change the course for quite some time already. 🤔
If any of you remember Charlie the unicorn from the Flash player days of the Internet, the finale just came out: https://youtu.be/IyAC8Hh0atI
@fastidious I never had that, but I love in Prague and also like Pilsner a lot. But I'm usually cheap, so I'd buy Staropramen instead, it's close enough in taste and costs half the money. Further more, I've seen it exported to other countries and even in Irish supermarkets while I was there, so if you're feeling in the mood for some Czech bear, I'd recommend you look up if they sell it anywhere near you, if you have LIDL, they might have it there. 😄
@prologic Any brand you can get, it's hard enough to find any, let alone having the luxury of choosing. 😂 I drank most of it during my internship in Dublin, but the bar there brews it themselves and doesn't export. I was only able to find one Czech brewery making them here, but they don't really export either.
@prologic Well yes, young people also talk about politics, but most of them use Twitter, Mastodon, Reddit and those kinds of places and aren't as much into weird conspiracy theories, but instead often promote weird political ideologies like anarcho-communism.
@prologic If you like fancy beers, get yourself some coffee flavored black beer. It's one of the best things I've ever drank, but sadly kinda expensive and hard to get in this country.
@prologic It's probably a nice way of saying that they're trying to get rid of the weird and usually old people, using it to argue about politics and George Soros all day, driving everyone with any level of sanity left in them to use another platform.
@adi Interesting, also surprising you're so honest to even show the negative revives of your project on it's main site.\nEspecially those from people who were clearly looking for something else and than found it productive to blame this project for not being that.

@movq No it's not. Stop resisting, you're under arrest Penguin!
@darch Maybe also lists listing the lists of bookmarks. 🤔😂
@prologic Well on the other hand, I'm the mobile apps, where a thing slides out (including yours) it's almost always on the right, so I wouldn't say the rule is as simple as "always right". 🤔
@prologic They are on most sites, Including you yarn pod, but I don't think moving it to the left is what broke it, unless it's a very fragile burger. 😄
@adi I also see a hamburger menu in the top left corner when I go to the site, which is nice - I like burgers, but seems a bit pointless as it doesn't do anything when I click it. 🙃
•♫•♬• Me and you users are nothing but mammals, so let's chat like they do chat in the "Discover"(-y) channel! •♫•♬•
Sorry, you brought it upon yourself naming the tab like that. 😂

@eldersnake Guess the app might be caching them or something, so maybe deleting the cache would help with this. 🤔
Otherwise it'll also have to be presented as a feature "app exclusive avatars" until it gets fixed. 😄
It might be a big here, but Discord is actually charging people $10 a month for the privilege of having a different avatar on some servers, here you get it for free. 😂

@prologic I know, some people commented on the new look yesterday, so I knew it worked for some. But than you confused me saying that the date shows I've never changed it, which I guess was what this bug was causing.
Avatar refreshed, can you all see it in color now?
@prologic I always update my avatars while using the mobile app - they go together. (sorry for the bad joke, couldn't help it)
@prologic It always do be like that. Things never come with the cables they need, like the fact most monitors here still come with only a VGA cable, despite everyone who buys them needing HDMI or DisplayPort.
@prologic I most definitely did, can't you see it in color now? 🤔
@jlj The twtxt.txt files were mentioned during an XMPP conversation about de-centralized social networks we were having, so I looked into it and found out this was also a thing. But so far I'm the only one of those people who decided to use Yarn, instead of hosting the twtxt.txt fine somewhere on a personal server.
@prologic I get that but on Android, the text selection thingy is broken (as I said earlier the fists for dragging over more words don't show up), so you'll at best select a single word by tapping it violently and even than, the *I* will add two underlines before it and two after it, making it bald instead.
@lyse Yeah, if they see you got wasted last night and you're still able to preform well during the interview, it should be an instant hire. 😂
@adi Could be a yarn.social pod made primarily for users wanting to show their passion for alcoholism in their accounts domain name. 😂
@adi Surprised no one took that domain name yet, but it would cost you around 123 dollars to buy. 😄
@adi Oh that. I guess that comes from the early days of Discord, where there was hundreds of users in a lot of servers and one needed something memorable they could be recognized by, so the use of animal mascots was pretty common.
I used a wolf at first, as that was what some other people in the group were using, but I like canines from made up mythology/religin a lot more, so I switched to having one of those as my mascot everywhere.

@lyse glad to hear that. It's not supposed to be trousers, but one or those leather jackets (I guess that with him being four leged, the line between a jacket and pants is pretty thin), he'd sometimes wear it as a uniform (mostly just for the look, rather than protection).This was the original design of the uniform (and a bit of "hair" color): 
For this smaller image I simplified it a bit and added a golden chain from a different uniform design to his right.
On some rare occasions he was also drawn wearing pants on his back legs, but I'm trying to do that only when the dress is a reference to some other characters and I feel like the back leg pants would be absolutely necessary to complete the look. 😄

@adi What do you mean by that? Did you like the previous version more?
Oh, I meant @lyse sorry for butchering your nickname. 🙃
I've tried adding colors to the profile picture. Hopefully it updates well for everyone. Also thank you for giving me that idea @lise hopefully it'll now he easier to recognize me as a canine. 😄
@quark I'd say yes and I usually don't sleep much myself. 😄
@lyse I assume you meant me, moveq is pretty penguiny looking (not mistakable for either a dog or a rabbit). 😄
I guess it's because the profile picture is only one bit, so I can't use my usual shiba inu colors and maybe also the ears to some degree. On the other hand, it could be an interesting art experiment trying to add some color to this picture without ruining the aesthetic I was going for. 🤔

@movq My name and profile picture might be kinda giving it away though. 😂 Even when my dog-ness is debatable, as I'm an inugami, a giant (180 cm sitting), shiba inu colored (sadly not seen on this 1 bit profile picture) non-aging "demigod" (also debatable) in the canine lore. 🐶
@fastidious Well I don't even have a 4K monitor, so I'm happy if it's 720p or above.\nThe the good piracy sites like https://www2.zoechip.com stream from servers where the majority of the content is stored in HD.\nI'm not saying I encourage you to switch to using it, but you'd be surprised how many things I was unable to find anywhere else they have, like stuff from Apple TV or just the old stuff the streaming services don't have the rights to stream anymore. 🙂

...for example when it come to the markdown problem, it could probably be fixed just by making the _I_ button type "" instead of "____". 🤔____
@prologic I'll also keep adding more UI suggestions to it overtime and so can everyone else and with our powers combined the app will be complete in no time. 😄\nOr maybe we'll just completely drain you with suggestions.\nMaybe I could also look into the code and see if any of it could be fixed, edited by me, but I doubt I could do that in browser. 🤔

@prologic I always used the "https:// way" too, as it's the way the link would copy from the browser.\nSpeaking of avatars, would there be some easy way to make it so your profile will show up, when you click at your avatar in the left panel of the app? It always worked like that in the old Twitter app I was used to, so I keep clicking on it, but nothing happens. 🙃

@jlj Or Spotify, that has a free plan and an app that is easy to modify to let you enjoy most of the premium features. 😄
@prologic Yeah, but I would probably be scared to put wooden floor in my bathroom. I get it's protected from water, but still what if it somehow manages to get to the wood anyway. 🤔
@jlj Don't think so, apks from other sites usually download without this. But it's not like this is that big of a problem anyway, since deleting the ".zip" at the end makes everything work fine. 🙂
@jlj What browser are you using? I tried all the browsers on my phone (3) and not a single one downloaded it without turning it into ".zip". 🙃
All works fine, but I the buttons for code markdown and such no longer show up and the *I* button making the text bold instead of tilted is still a thing in this version.
But I think the settings are working now and I can see the Yarn button.

Though at least uninstalling the one from Google Play and removing the ".zip" at the end of the download file seems to have worked this time, without any signature errors, just Googles usual complaining about unknown sources.
@prologic @jlj so you got it to download as app-release.apk? Because I'm trying again and it still doesn't give me that option. The closest I can get is clicking "View Raw" and having it downloaded as "app-release.apk.zip".
@prologic Idk, that downloaded as "release.apk.zip" or something and when I removed the ".zip" and tried installing it, it had some popups telling me about weird signatures and because of that it wouldn't install.
I know how to re-sign android stuff, so I could obviously do that as well as change the name icon or whatever other small edits I'd want while doing so, but that might result in other problems for future updates. 🤔

@prologic and the B and *I* buttons in the markup work weird in this version, both making the markup for bold text, but that might be a thing in the other version too.
@jlj @prologic You might need to check what's up with the Google play store one too. I haven't gotten any update since I installed the app from there and not even uninstalling it and installing it again helped.
I'm still on the version 1.0.5, the build without the about page and with settings that are now broken.

@prologic You used to be able to (probably still works) VPN to some poor country and get these services cheaper. Family sharing can also save a lot. But considering a lot of these services are not even available in my country without a VPN to begin with and using one might go against their terms of service, while watching it from one of those free online pirate streaming sites is perfectly legal here, with how little I watch and the fact I watch stuff from all of them when I have the time, at this point I just find it far more convenient to use the pirate sites, especially when you have pirate sites that actually have stuff from almost all those services, so they made piracy more convenient than paying. 😂
@laz @fastidious Lazy, but smart, as that way they could probably also re-use the elephant mascot, just add some stripes and stars on it, to make it look a bit more like the Republican party logo. 😄
