I got promoted today to try using Passkeys on Github.com. Fine 😅 I did that, but I discovered that when you use your Passkey to login, Chrome prompts you for your device's password (_i.e: The password you use to login to your macOS Desktop_). Is that intentional? Kind of defeats the point no? I mean sure, now there's no Password being transmitted, stored or presented to Github.com but still, all an attacker has to do is somehow be on my device and know my login password to my device right? Is that better or worse? 🤔

I'm continuing my tt rewrite in Go and quickly implemented a stack widget for tview. The builtin Pages is similar but way too complicated for my use case. I would have to specify a mandatory name and some additional options for each page. Also, it allows me to randomly jump around between pages using names, but only gives me direct access the first, however, not the last page. Weird. I don't wanna remember names. All I really need is a classic stack. You open a new fullscreen dialog and maybe another one on top of that. Closing the upper most brings you back to the previous one and so on.

The very first dialog I added is viewing the raw message text. Unlike in @arne's TwtxtReader, I'm not able to include the original timestamp, though. I don't have it in its original form in the database. :-/

Next up is a URL view.
@movq That's what I immediately thought as well. :-D @eapl.me Unfortunately, no fancy buttons. What does your model do?

You have a microwave oven at home, right?

You can type 3 and 0 for 30 seconds, 100 for a minute (shown as 1:00), or 200 for two minutes (2:00).

What would happen if you type 777 and Start?
A) Nothing
B) Self-destruction
C) Will run for 7 minutes and 77 seconds (boring!)

What about 7777 ?
hey! It's looking nice

On a vu The Brutalist hier soir. Je suis très surpris de ne voir aucun commentaire nulle part sur la toute fin du film, la dernière image, presque subliminale. Elle résonne pourtant si fort avec la dernière phrase du film, l'interrogatoire du début, la photo de l'entracte et bien d'autres éléments... Peut-être que je me trompe #cine #film

@prologic Of course you don't notice it when yarnd only shows at most the last n messages of a feed. As an example, check out mckinley's message from 2023-01-09T22:42:37Z. It has "[Scheduled][Scheduled][Scheduled]"… in it. This text in square brackets is repeated numerous times. If you search his feed for closing square bracket followed by an opening square bracket (][) you will find a bunch more of these. It goes without question he never typed that in his feed. My client saves each twt hash I've explicitly marked read. A few days ago, I got plenty of apparently years old, yet suddenly unread messages. Each and every single one of them containing this repeated bracketed text thing. The only conclusion is that something messed up the feed again.

@lyse Agree. I'm not sure we should lax the timestamp format at all IMO. What @xuu has found is kind of nuts haha 😆 However I do think we should relax the \\t separator between <timestamp> and <content>. Let users use _any_ valid whitespace here that isn't a newline or carriage return.

I _think_ the author is a bit out of their depth here. A linear feed isn't quite what the author seems to be modelling in their view of the problems they observe and describe. A linear feed has a beginning and an end. You can (_ideally client-side_) sort it by Date, or by Subject like we do with our Twtxt clients. A Tree-structure isn't what the author thinks either, this is more the structure that forms after you introducing some kind of "threading model". The main problem with any kind of information system that tries to figure out algorithmically what you want to "see" is that type of interface has no start and no end. SO you end up with a "scroll of doom".

The article discusses the challenges posed by linear social media feeds, which often lead to disengagement and difficulty in prioritizing content from friends due to constant scrolling. The author proposes an alternative approach using a daily feed structure per day, which organizes posts by date, allowing for easier prioritization and reducing mindless scrolling.

Key Points:

1. Linear Feed Problem: Linear feeds present a long list of posts without prioritization, forcing users to scroll endlessly to catch up on friends' content. This can lead to addiction and disengagement.

2. Proposed Alternative (Tree Structure): The daily feed structure organizes posts by day, enabling users to prioritize updates from friends who post infrequently while reducing scrolling effort.

3. Mastodon Experience: The author's experience with Mastodon highlighted its effectiveness in allowing content prioritization and managing social media usage without dependency on algorithms.

4. Challenges and Considerations:
- Implementation Challenges: Creating a daily feed system involves organizing content effectively and ensuring users can prioritize posts.
- Platform Support: Current platforms may not have APIs conducive to such changes, making it difficult to implement without significant technical changes.
- Engagement Metrics: The impact on engagement metrics needs to be considered, as traditional metrics might be misinterpreted in a tree structure.

5. Potential Applications Beyond Social Media: This approach could empower users by giving control over content consumption and aiding in balancing social media use without overwhelming them with information.

6. Future Directions: The author hopes for improvements in alternative platforms' feed systems and engagement metrics, potentially through more interactive content models or changes in APIs.

In conclusion, the article emphasizes the importance of providing users with control over their content consumption, moving away from linear feed

@eapl.me I like this idea. Another option would be to show a limited number of posts, with an option to see the omitted ones by user. Either way, I wonder how well that works with threading.
