@lyse I had no idea. However, I think we're losing our sense of anonymity. I even started using my real name!
@eapl.me I looked at the first few puzzles and they are pretty cool so far! I haven't actually implemented any of them, but I'm fairly certain about how I'd solve them properly. I went through some linked reference articles yesterday, they're also really good. I will recommend this to some workmates. :-)
It's extremely surprising to me that younger non-technical people just type in their full name (properly cased first and last name with a space in between) for a technical username in account registration or login forms. I've seen that happening several times in the past few years. The field name is "Benutzername" in German, literally "username". Even adding a placeholder text to signal that they could simply use their nickname in lowercase did not change anything at all. Well, one person used at least an e-mail address.

This wasn't the case six, seven years ago, everybody had some "real" username. Even non-techies. It looks like some "common knowledge" is getting lost. Strange. Very weird. It trips me every time I see it.

Have you experienced something similar?

The "idiossINcrasias" series from the ANTI-DEMOS-CRACIA label starts in June!

It was an ill-kept secret: kokori had the honor of being invited to kickstart this series with the also Portuguese band "Floating Ashes".

Starting June, ADC will release a series of "idiossINcracies", a special, limited CD collection, where each volume will showcase two musical projects with five songs from each.

The first volume, to be released on the 16th of June, joins Floating Ashes and kokori, and from this moment on you can already get a sample of it with one track from each project, on the label's bandcamp:

https://anti-demos-cracia.bandcamp.com/album/idiossincrasia-vol-1

Being ½ #kokori I'm suspect, but I agree with the label when they state that "this series promises to be a valuable addition to collectors and followers of experimental and alternative music."

👉 reservations can be made by sending me a message.

@lyse There’s a reason it’s called “(n)curses”. 😏 The only advice I can give is to never fiddle with reassigning control sequences and $TERM variables. Leave $TERM at whatever value the terminal itself sets and use an appropriate terminfo file for it. If there are programs misbehaving, they probably blindly assume XTerm and should be fixed (or have XTerm as a hard requirement). If you try to fix this on your end, it’ll likely just break other programs. 🥴

Well, some time ago I put this in my ~/.Xdefaults:

URxvt.keysym.Control-Up: \033[1;5A
 URxvt.keysym.Control-Down: \033[1;5B
URxvt.keysym.Control-Left: \033[1;5D
 URxvt.keysym.Control-Right: \033[1;5C

Probably to behave more like XTerm and fix a few other issues I had with other programs. But, it turns out, tcell expects the original sequence: https://github.com/gdamore/tcell/blob/main/terminfo/r/rxvt/term.go#L487

Hmm.~
Hmmm, when I Ctrl+Left to jump a word left, I get 1;5D in my tt2 message text. My TERM is set to rxvt-unicode-256color. In tt, it works just fine. When I change to TERM=xterm-256color, it also works in tt2. I have to read up on that. Maybe even try to capture these sequences and rewrite them.
@david Tada, the reply context is now also shown above. It's slowly coming together and reaching a state where I can actually use this as my daily driver I think. :-)

Reply form in tt2 shows the messages to which a reply is composed
On my blog: Toots 🦣 from 03/17 to 03/21 https://john.colagioia.net/blog/2025/03/21/week.html #linkdump #socialmedia #quotes #week
@david Thanks, yes, absolutely! ;-)

I now notice that I should also show the original message(s) to which I reply. That was super useful in the original tt. But one after the other. The mentions are now automatically filled in. \o/
@movq wow, that almost works as I want it! Only think missing is the first time stamp, on opening. Hmm...
@movq the idea is to be able to write documents in which I have auto time stamps on each line. Similar to this, which was posted on Hacker News today.
@lyse oooooh! I like how that's shaping up! Now you need a jobless vacation (not moneyless), so that the project goes from baby crawling, to toddler steps. :-)
Perfect!

It worked!

I now also implemented basic replying by hitting a as in answering. What's missing is automatically adding mentions in the message text template. That's gonna be a bit more tricky, though.
@david While you’re typing? I guess this could be used as a starting point (doesn’t work on the very first line):


inoremap <CR> <Esc>:r!date +"\%F \%T"<CR>A 


What’s the end goal here? 😅

@movq hear hear! LOL. Give me the jobless, please, just leave the incoming monies intact. :-P
Righto, now with added basic subject support. Hopefully!
Is there a way to auto-insert a time stamp on vi or vim at the beginning of each line? Like, upon opening like so:


2025-03-20 15:04:03 Blah blah blah blah
2025-03-20 15:04:15 Bleh bleh bleh bleh

(Back in tt.) Well, it kinda worked. At least appending to the file. But my cache database got screwed up. I do not yet support replies, so the subject and and root hash columns have not been set at all, resulting in a message that is just not shown at all. I gotta do something about that next. The good thing is, though, after simply fixing the two columns the message appeared on screen.

Proposal 3 (https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/issues/18#issuecomment-19215) has the "advantage", that you do not have to "mention" the original author if the thread slightly diverges. It seems to be a thing here that conversations are typically very flat instead of trees. Hence, and despite being a tree hugger, I voted for 3 being my favorite one, then 2, 1 and finally 4.

All proposals still need more work to clarify the details and edge cases in my opinion before they can be implemented.
