Say what you want, I speak for myself. People way much, much, much smarter than me are working on this. Not one, but many. AI will have its use—which it will increase—and it will get better. It is barely on its infancy.
About perceived impossibilities, we are very good at achieving things that previously seemed impossible.
@prologic is it a Linux distribution based on Gentoo. I am not sure with C(11) means but, truly, I don’t need to know. :-)
So, the “Timeline” you are using on your website, that links here, isn’t a good idea.
@ychbn yes, Yarn does some caching that is pretty ephemeral. If you are gone long enough, nothing will show under your profile. As far as the web interface is concerned, you will not exist. Same for everything else. Granted, you still can check your—and others—text file (if you are into that kind of thing), but Yarn will not show it to you in a browsable manner (like this twt).
I know this because I searched his raw twtxt.txt, and found it there. If only we had a decent search! 😩
@stigatle Nanook has to have to cleanest teeth I have ever seeing in a dog. It is also a handsome one!
@lyse sunset was good! I will send one of mine, once our long Winter week is over. 😂
@prologic I will play devil’s advocate. The telemetry being proposed for the go tool chain is opt-out. I think opt-out is better that being “based on honour”. It is also meant to “see, and fix broken shit” 😜😂
Also, I bet most running Yarn do not even know about it. 😬😂
@abucci there is already some telemetry in it. You can query a pod to find a few stats about it.

Awesome Samuel Con has joined! @prologic now Yarn will sure be a success!
@jlj congratulations! Woot! That was some perseverance there! :-)
@lyse looks like ice on the windshield, not broken. Am I correct?
@abucci if everything that’s old will be new again, then XMPP shall see their resurgence again, like it is the year 2000. 😂
@abucci "Magic Wand was approved as part of Unicode 13.0 in 2020 and added to Emoji 13.0 in 2020.” If your Android hasn’t gotten an update containing it, then yup, you won’t see it.
This is xuu’s twt. I dug it up before the cache, with its permanent Alzheimer, forgets about it.
@eldersnake sadly—I think it was @xuu the one who said it not long ago—it is bad resource planning. Still, that title is quite right.
@screem I read this, somehow, as “I boot into a whole entire OS to use your preferred shell goes here. For everything else, I boot into another whole entire OS.” :-D But hey, it’s all about having fun, am I right?
@prologic we need to do something about the inline code blocks, and code blocks themselves. Their font is too big, they look a bit grotesque. @darch, what do you say? Can you do a bit of massaging to their styles?
@prologic you mean, without the hash showing? Of course it is! :-)
@axodys you are lucky! In my city they do not replace them, even if they are the ones who damage it. If the lid is broken, they will send a guy to replace the lid, or mend the hinges, or patch the actual bin. It has to be irreparable for them to replace it.
@prologic right, it isn’t blank, as you saw. I don’t see it as a failure. After all, it is an apptest account, right? :-)
@prologic doubtful it is coming from the AppStore. It also discovered an issue that should be fixed (parsing issue, or render issue?).
@prologic it was a bad joke, sorry. Who else did you shared the credentials with? Was the password a simple one to guess? I didn’t do it—just want to go on records. :-)
@prologic it isn’t a font for a console/terminal. It is a reading font, hence hyperlegible. :-D
@lyse ahhh, the mighty powerful Australian jinx! 🤣🤣🤣
@abucci for me, meeting can wait. 😂
@abucci this is how it looks:
Yarn and fork visualisation
@prologic well, yes, forks rule over spoons! Chopsticks are the best, though.
@abucci LOL. It is not the same! It’s the previous Sue Zit cousin’s cousin, twice removed, on her mother side. People of the Hills! Proud Zit! :-D
@abucci I am forking this one again. 😂
@abucci I can show it to you tomorrow. On jenny, threads and forks look beautiful.
(#64z4k5q) This is crazy. Totally crazy (this is an edit).
(#juix2cq) @abucci you did? I did it again too!
¡Ay, Dios mío! This isn’t good. What’s happening now with forks?
(#d5tbgsa) @prologic funny enough, that one on cache is wrong, as the cache doesn’t have the right one. Bottomline #yggk2lq doesn’t really exist. 😬
@prologic yup, all good. Just replying here for closure.
@prologic it happens, JavaScript sucks, but it is also so good! :-)
So, to sum it up, Yarn reply interaction has issues while on mobile (I forgot to mention same applies to “**Fork**” while on mobile). I might follow Lyse’s (@lyse) advise, and "just don't use it on your telephone, you social addict!” :-D
Yup, even when replying to myself I need to spam “Reply”.
I am replying again, just taping reply once. Once course, since I am replying to myself I don’t see my handle. For this one I tapped once on reply.
I am replying here while in “/conv”, on mobile now.
Tagging @prologic, so this doesn’t fall through the cracks. :-D
So, I found a few oddities while on mobile.
* From “Timeline”, I need to tap reply twice to have it fill the user’s handle being replied to.
* From “Mentions”, “Discovery”, and inside Yarns, I need to almost spam it, to have it fill the user’s handle being replied to.
That doesn’t happen while on the desktop.
@prologic rats, I have got to sleep now. Almost 02:00.
@prologic I have to hit reply twice to see your handle pop.
@prologic it is not that. It is some JavaScript issue.
Reply to “I’m starting to feel quite …” I am 100% on mobile.
Go to “Discovery”, and tap reply to anything.
I just hit reply to the “Which I think I fixed 🤔” twt.
Reply isn’t showing the handle of the person being replied to.
@prologic Ugh, JS always come to mess things up.
Remember I reply, normally, from “Discovery”.
Now trying the fork on this one.
Hmm, maybe isn’t working right.
This is awesome! (in bed, but having a hard time falling asleep tonight). 😅
@prologic hmm, in that case SMTP might not be configured correctly.
@abucci check your junk location. It might be there.
@prologic pattern based filtering can get quite expensive, no? If not, then it would be nice to have, of course. And, as I wrote before, language.
@thecanine you wrote;
> “The Fediverse fractured, mostly because some percentage of users, had to find a way to silence those offensive to them, for the entirety of their instance”
It is called moderation. Often people can get away by blocking individuals. In extreme cases entire instances must be blocked.
I also don’t understand the sanitation you are referring to. You don’t interact with what you don’t like, or agree with. You won’t find nazis in my timelines, or fanatic religiosity. Everyone creates their own space.
If “this place” were to become one day unsuitable for me, I would move on. Not the first, not the last. I always ask myself first, though, “is it me?” Sometimes it is me, and I learn, and I try hard to change.
@abucci said it better than me. You don’t have the facts at hand, and your reply rose eyebrows, and least at my end.
Yeah, you know what? Just take it from me, and stop hurting your head with it: keep away from that shit. At least for now. It is absolutely worthless.
@prologic it is supposed to be fine, but it takes eons for clients to show you text you have posted.

@axodys only one client. I was stumped myself, so I tried another relay to make sure. Same result.
I also came across Nick Fuentes, and other extreme right wingers. Not my kind of crowd.
@prologic I don’t care, as long as it is possible to upload a file (PDF in this instance, but why to stop there?) that can be linked in similar ways as images.

@eldersnake the rules, as they were planning it, were truly bad. I pay premium for 4K, and multiple devices. It is none of their business where those devices might be, as long as I pay the premium to play on them. Anything else is completely stupid, irrational, and I will not bear with it if, or when, it gets instituted.
@axodys I tried Iris, yes. Is OK. I proved to myself that Nostr will not work with just my own relay. Even if the latency is 1ms, all the clients will crawl to a stop with only my relay. It seems it is meant to use many relays, which I don’t like.
I also don’t have—nor want, not even free—any cryptocurrency, so that portion of the protocol is of no use, nor interest to me. Have fun, though! :-)

@bender you and I, namesake, you and I! :-D
@abucci I got it. Thank you very much for sharing!
@abucci it will be nice to be able to read in what context Weizenbaum wrote that. It comes from an article he wrote, "Social and Political Impact of the Long-term History of computing”, which I haven’t been able to find without selling my soul. I understand you are a scholar; could you “lend” us the article? PDF is fine. :-)
@stigatle I hear you. As always, hope for the best, but prepare for the worse. I am thousands of kilometres away, yet it is also always in the back of my mind.
@prologic anybody can run a relay. I briefly ran one today. There are hundreds out there.
And just like that, my affair with nostr is over. :-D
@axodys I found it, but also found it to be lame, and uninteresting. I am not going to get rid of my private/public keys, and probably will not uninstall the app quite yet, but unless something changes radically I don’t see me using it much, if at all.
