{@https://twtxt.net/user/antonio/twtxt.txt>#tmqjqvq} @prologic @lukem (#jiwqzsq) I may be misunderstanding the micropub role but my believe is that it is a set of API standards that allow you to create, update or delete to a blog / website. Perhaps the easy way for twt is to add a new endpoint to the existing API that supports blog posts. Again, not critical for me.
{@https://twtxt.net/user/antonio/twtxt.txt>#o5wovja} @lukem @prologic (#jiwqzsq) AFAIK the API currently doesn't support posting long blog posts.
{@https://txt.eli.li/twtxt/twtxt.txt>#h7bn5fq} fraidyc.at now supports twtxt -- between fraidyc.at and the new 1feed.app I may be able to shut down my self hosted rss reader

\nGardening at it's best, nice on the eyes, soothes the soul.
{@https://twtxt.net/user/lukem/twtxt.txt>#k2xqbga} @prologic (#qdt4uda) uBlock Origin for Chrome or Firefox and uBlock Origin Extra for anything Chromium-based. If you learn how to create custom rules (either point'n'click within the extension or writing basic regexes) you essentially possess a superpower.
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#s2dw4ha} @razetime @kt84 (#eg37m4a) But caused by turning on an old Television Set? I mean seriously? The old cathode ray tubes weren't that bad were they? And they are receivers, not transmitters 🤷♂️
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#sorcgfq} @lukem (#qdt4uda) Yeah it is pretty similar. And I agree, it doesn't cover 100% of cases. What browser extensions do you use/recommend here?
{@https://twtxt.net/user/razetime/twtxt.txt>#lrcgnja} @kt84 (#eg37m4a) high power signals sometimes cause disturbance akin to a faraday cage, so that's probably the reason the internet was having a hard time. These people were really unlucky.
{@https://twtxt.net/user/lukem/twtxt.txt>#jsqnfnq} @prologic (#qdt4uda) Never heard of this, looks similar to Pi-hole on my Raspberry Pi. But DNS blocking doesn't block 100% of unwanted stuff. First-party or proxied ads still need to be taken care of with browser extensions.
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#frn2wsq} @lukem (#qdt4uda) To be fair I run AdGuardHome in my home network which becomes the primary DNS resolvers for all clients (*wired and wireless*) in my home (_except the servers in my server room_), so I must have had Ad blocking turned off at the time 🤣 (_not sure I would have normally seen any ads at all!_)
{@https://twtxt.net/user/lukem/twtxt.txt>#e64hwnq} @prologic (#qdt4uda) also, I think I once wrote custom uBlock rules to hide stuff I don't care about on LI so I lost an ability to answer that kind of questions in a constructive way. :( But yeah, I get your point and I agree it's gross.
{@https://twtxt.net/user/twtxt/twtxt.txt>#y4xofqq} FOLLOW: @netdata from @andrewm4894 using twtxt/0.1.0@94eb531
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#hy6sdka} @lukem (#qdt4uda) More to the _point_ though, how/why did this come up in the first place? Who's selling data to who to serve me such an ad given recent events?! 😂 It's disgusting! 🤣
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#5yn5pva} @lukem (#jiwqzsq) \n\n> Actually, is it possible to post long blog posts via Twt API?\n\nI _think_ we haven't added the API endpoints for this yet. Very easy to add though 😀
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#k26uoxa} @kt84 (#eg37m4a) Hmm I read the article and I'm a bit puzzled myself. That TV set in the linked photos looked _really really_ super old! I'm not really sure to be honest 🤣
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#alv75nq} (#vwfboka) @ionores (#vwfboka) Yeah I have to say I _quite_ like it actually. Using the same underlying encryption protocols gives me even more confidence in the Signal protocol and ratcheting. It's nice. I'm split minded though about Tor and anonymous traffic (_even here in Oz our silly Govt think its useful to them to track what websites we visit via DNS_), I _think_ it comes to down a reasonable level of convenience without sacrificing too much privacy. Signal does that for me and my family/friends today. But session does look nice!
{@https://twtxt.net/user/ionores/twtxt.txt>#4n73nta} @prologic (#vwfboka) Yep. + no phone numbers !

{@https://twtxt.net/user/lukem/twtxt.txt>#cbb6kaa} @prologic (#qdt4uda) I'm pretty sure you can disable this kind of ads somewhere in LinkedIn settings so that they refer to you as 'LinkedIn Member' rather than using your name or don't display them at all (not 100% sure though, I haven't seen them myself for a while).
{@https://twtxt.net/user/lukem/twtxt.txt>#ka34uwq} (#jiwqzsq) @prologic @antonio as for cross-posting, in my blog I'll have an email subscription, RSS feed and twtxt.txt with titles and urls. I could either utilize those to get my content cross-posted to Twt without my intervention or build a script that could do that via API.\n\nActually, is it possible to post long blog posts via Twt API?
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#bexc5da} @prologic (#qdt4uda) In case you haven't read, here's a reminder of what I built Twtxt.net and Twt.social and what it means to me and hopefully you! This type of user data collection and profiteering really is kind of awful and one day it _might_ be nice to have it outlawed! 😎
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#5cjhs2q} I recently interviewed at ServiceNow (_first round_) a few days ago, and its a nice big! Interview went well with the new hiring manager here in Oz trying to set up a new team to build out their service offerings to the "regulated markets" (_think government agencies, etc_).\n\nHowever, here's what I found in on the "right panel" in on LinkedIn today:
-- Boi do ads suck! 😳
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#yadyeca} @felixp7 (#cwrv2hq) interesting story there even if partially fictional! 😁
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#ixvnc5a} (#jiwqzsq) @antonio @lukem so isn’t micropub a bit more of a publishing set of protocols and APIs? How does this help with cross posting? To be honest I haven’t really looked into it all that deeply yet
{@https://twtxt.net/user/antonio/twtxt.txt>#wpvzria} @prologic @lukem (#jiwqzsq) Perhaps an API or some standard like MicroPub
{@https://ffuentes.flounder.online/twtxt.txt>#femwb5a} New guy here. I saw this yesterday and loved it. I think I heard of it in SDF before but I didn't understand it.

{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#lhkkrkq} @antonio @lukem (#jiwqzsq) how do you envisage the cross posting working?
{@https://twtxt.net/user/antonio/twtxt.txt>#d6utolq} @lukem @prologic (#jiwqzsq) I am planning to start doing cross posting soon. So may be a cross posting feature. But I don't mind to post here and on my blog manually because I won't blog that often.

{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#vnpwl5a} Here’s a thought experiment… If you had 100 users on a service how much traffic without generate? If you had 10,000 users how much traffic with that generate what about 1 million users?
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#7h4irna} (#jiwqzsq) @antonio @lukem dry cool! Do we need to build blog import feature ? 😁
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#zdz7m7q} @slashdot (#ejcouta) Why am I not surprised 😳
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#2r7izsq} (#vwfboka) @ionores Cool so session is Signal + Tor more or less?
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#mft5vwq} (#vwfboka) Yeah the diversity is a big PIYA 😁
