About the idea of improving the "thread" extension, what if we set aside March 2025 to gather proposals and thoughts from everyone? We could then vote on them at the end of the month to see if the change and migration are worth it.
The voting could include client maintainers (and maybe even users too). That way, we get a good mix of perspectives before taking a decision in a decent timelapse.
What do you think? If this sounds good, we can start agreeing on this. Let me know your thoughts!
It has been interesting to see so many reflecting at the same time about the current state and the possible future of web browsers - even if it was fired up by some bad news from @mozillaofficial@mozillaofficial.
Still, it is important to acknowledge what is and has been going on - how a web browser currently became a lot more than just a piece of software implementing a number of open standards, how they are all basically based over one of two existing browser agents (Gecko and Webkit) with the emergence of two upcoming ones (Servo and LibWeb); the difficulties of creating or maintaining a new web browser, or how dependent are all firefox forks (or older, harder derivatives like SeaMonkey) of Mozilla (both Firefox and Gecko).
I'm not trying to get to any point with this text, but rather to highlight that now is the time to have a few conversations around open standards, and in particular web standards. And as it happens, the "annual day" to have discussions of that sort is around the corner: @dff@dff's Document Freedom Day 2025 is already in the 26th of this month. So why aren't there more events on the map? How is your community, user group, etc. going to mark and celebrate this day?

@movq Yeah, the ground was wet here, too. Some sections of esp. smaller paths had turned into mud holes. There are a few notorious spots. Oh well, you just have to press on. :-)
@bmallred I forgot one more effect of edits. If clients remember the read status of massages by hash, an edit will mark the updated message as unread again. To some degree that is even the right behavior, because the message was updated, so the user might want to have a look at the updated version. On the other hand, if it's just a small typo fix, it's maybe not worth to tell the user about. But the client doesn't know, at least not with additional logic.
Having said that, it appears that this only affects me personally, noone else. I don't know of any other client that saves read statuses. But don't worry about me, all good. Just keep doing what you've done so far. I wanted to mention that only for the sake of completeness. :-)

In all reality, though, I don't see that our community will come to an agreement. Some folks just don't want to give up on the content-based addressing scheme.
@prologic I formed my opinion about this before reading/watching any additional media coverage. And yes, this is extremely bad. These two have no place on the “world stage”. They are deciding on our future. (And I am well aware that my country is heading into a similar direction – unless we stop it.)

@andros Oh, this system has an edit button so I can just update the twt as needed. It's a custom implementation so just kind of through it in when I was building it out.

Remember any media outlet and even independent youtuber(s), etc, typically pick apart the bits they want to show and sensationalize things a bit 🤣 Yes there was a heated debate/argument, but it's nowhere near as bad as some media outlets are making 🤦♂️ Also yes, JD is a hot head, Zelensky should have just shut up 😅
@bmallred Any edit automatically changes the twt hash, because the hash is built over the hash URL, message timestamp and message text. https://twtxt.dev/exts/twt-hash.html So, it is only a problem, if somebody replied to your original message with the old hash. The original message suddenly doesn't exist anymore and the reply becomes detached, orphaned, whatever you wanna call it. Threading doesn't break, though, if nobody replied to your message.
We went up our backyard mountain again right after lunch. The sun peaked through the clouds sometimes. The 6°C felt much, much cooler with the northeast wind. We got lucky, though, it was dead calm at the summit. At least on the southwestern side, which is a few meters lower than the very top to the east. That was shielded absolutely perfectly from the wind (we were extremely surprised), so we sat down on a bench and could really enjoy the sun heating us up. Apart from the haze, the view was really nice.
There were even patches of snow left up top, that was unexpected. Also, somebody created a cool rock art piece on a tree stump. That one rock absolutely looked like a face. Crazy!
@osnews Its been so long and never really thought about it.
- Arch was great but always had issues. - Gentoo was great but not enough patience to compile when I need something quick for work.
I haven't really looked back since I installed Void. Sometimes it is a pain when things don't play well with MUSL but nothing that would make me change course.
