@bender Exactly. :-) My apologies for the confusion.
How about storing the contents of the twtxt.txt file in TXT DNS records? :-P Like so:


dig +short txt poem.netbros.com | sed 's/[\\" ]//g' | base64 -d

@lyse and for those who were as lost as me, you are referring to this @movq's comment: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/pulls/4#issuecomment-18024 :-D
I'm with @movq here and like to avoid bolting on more alternatives. Sorry @prologic.

@falsifian ah, Americans, and their backwards dates! LOL. Even using the "American" style, I will never leave out the year (it is way too bogus for me), thus 1/4/2024, or 1/4/24, which "should" format just fine.

I prefer 2024-01-04. :-)
@bender I try to avoid editing. I guess I would write 5/4, 6/4, etc, and hopefully my audience would be sympathetic to my failing.

Anyway, I don't think my eccentric decision to number my twts in the style of other social media platforms is the only context where someone might write 1/4 not meaning a quarter. E.g. January 4, to Americans.

I'm happy to keep overthinking this for as long as you are :-P
@falsifian and...

> My 1/4 -> 1/4 thing is nothing more than a minor irritation which probably isn’t worth overthinking.

Yet, here we are still debating it. LOL.
@falsifian what happens if those four things you carefully planned to point out become six? Will you retroactively go and edit all previous twtxts to account for that change, thus breaking any potential replies/forks to them?
@Codebuzz we use clients to do that, but some users may want to, or do, manually edit the twtxt.txt file.
@bender @prologic I'm not exactly asking yarnd to change. If you are okay with the way it displayed my twts, then by all means, leave it as is. I hope you won't mind if I continue to write things like 1/4 to mean "first out of four".

What has text/markdown got to do with this? I don't think Markdown says anything about replacing 1/4 with ¼, or other similar transformations. It's not needed, because ¼ is already a unicode character that can simply be directly inserted into the text file.

What's wrong with my original suggestion of doing the transformation before the text hits the twtxt.txt file? @prologic, I think it would achieve what you are trying to achieve with this content-type thing: if someone writes 1/4 on a yarnd instance or any other client that wants to do this, it would get transformed, and other clients simply wouldn't do the transformation. Every client that supports displaying unicode characters, including Jenny, would then display ¼ as ¼.

Alternatively, if you prefer yarnd to pretty-print all twts nicely, even ones from simpler clients, that's fine too and you don't need to change anything. My 1/4 -> ¼ thing is nothing more than a minor irritation which probably isn't worth overthinking.

@prologic that means changes will need to be made to Yarn too then, right? Right now Yarn uses markdown rendering for everything, but if someone's feed states text/plain, then it will have to disabled markdown rendering for it, correct? If that's the case, are you sure you want that? 😅

I _think_ realistically the only way to resolve this is to formally support and define a specification for feed formats. The available mime types lists two formats that I think are important here. text/plain and text/markdown. I believe a specification that defines and formalizes this so that a feed author can state in their feed that their feed is primarily text/plain or text/markdown or via HTTP headers (_not mandatory_) will work here. I also think it might be worthwhile niversing this and defaulting to text/plain (_by design and by default, spec TBD_) and then clients like yanrd can just be updated to declare text/markdown.

Yet, you are asking Yarn to change the format to work around how you want it display. 🤔

I installed GrapheneOS for the first time on Wednesday last week on a used Pixel 7a, and I'm impressed. Installation was almost seamless, and I was able to do it from another Android phone. I've run into very few wrinkles, even using Google's proprietary apps with GrapheneOS's "sandboxed" version of Google Play Services. The main problems I've noticed: I can't cast, and Google Timeline doesn't seem to work (though I imagine the intersection between people keen to use GrapheneOS and keen to have Google log their location history is pretty small).

@prologic I'm not a yarnd user, so it doesn't matter a whole lot to me, but FWIW I'm not especially keen on changing how I format my twts to work around yarnd's quirks.

I wonder if this kind of postprocessing would fit better between composing (via yarnd's UI) and publishing. So, if a yarnd user types 1/4, it could get changed to ¼ in the twtxt.txt file for everyone to see, not just people reading through yarnd. But when I type 1/4, meaning first out of four, as a non-yarnd user, the meaning wouldn't get corrupted. I can always type ¼ directly if that's what I really intend.

(This twt might be easier to understand if you read it without any transformations :-P)

Anyway, again, I'm not a yarnd user, so do what you will, just know you might not be seeing exactly what I meant.

i'm kinda bummed that i haven't had the time/energy to get further into my media infrastructure projects. a federated tiktok with good decentralized storage would be a force to be reckoned with. i don't have to be first though. solving the fundamental problems of decentralized video streaming will make for a better experience anyway. i also have too many projects so i can't get after myself for being a little behind the curve in several areas at once lol
@movq i've wondered the same thing.. dansup can be pretty erratic and i don't really trust the guy. thankfully (at least from my perspective) he's not the only game in town. though i think going UI-first is kind of jumping the gun. the fediverse doesn't really have the infrastructure in place to support video publishing at the scale that a tiktok user might expect. based on some of dansups statements regarding palestine, i'm sure its partially an effort to control what kind of content makes it into fedi's tiktok streams for the first while.

The last week I've been playing around with https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI , dang good tool for testing ai models and such. I really like the node based workflow.
And makes it super easy to test any AI model.
Only thing I miss now - is one of those image to video setup's, that's what I'm working on fixing now. So that I can generate images, and then automatically make them into short videos as well.
Fun to play around with.

The first I don't use, but I have it since beta (was of the few first to be invited to it), so it has a "sentimental" value. The second is my catch-all-spam number.
I attempted to build a small try-square, but my metal working skills totally suck. I tried to flatten the metal blade with a file, but I didn't reach my own goal. It's not perfectly straight. The square is almost 90°, it shifted a wee bit when drilling the holes for the pins. Also, the blade is 0.1mm off of being parallel. I have to try again or simply just buy one.
