{@https://twtxt.net/user/dooven/twtxt.txt>#fh2mtva} (#o3fq3eq) You can also launch chrome in app mode using \n
google-chrome --app=https://twtxt.net
\nWhich looks like this\n
{@https://twtxt.net/user/dooven/twtxt.txt>#uqof7fa} (#o3fq3eq) Cool!!!

{@https://dgy.fuckup.club/twtxt.txt>#i5p5cmq} i tried joining twitter a couple times. i regretted it nearly instantly. this seems like it might be more up my alley. hello.

{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#33ggxkq} Hello @amitbasuri 👋 Welcome to Twtxt! 🤗
{@https://twtxt.net/user/twtxt/twtxt.txt>#23atkeq} FOLLOW: @amitbasuri from @amitbasuri using twtxt/0.1.0@1bba240
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#bwfwgxq} @off_grid_living (#3le77aq) pretty sure you can fiddle with the phones camera settings and resuce yhe image resolution
{@https://twtxt.net/user/off_grid_living/twtxt.txt>#yok6bja} Drat, the phone takes 1 to 6M pictures, not the usual 20K pictures I prefer, hence the upload is way too slow, and my 3G is not uploading the files. Bother
{@https://twtxt.net/user/off_grid_living/twtxt.txt>#yqrowna} Well I figured out with moto E6s help on www, to change my settings for charge cord to FTP file transfer\nand transfer brand new files, thanks to my Son for this gift.
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#pgkz6dq} @ionores (#s7u5gmq) Thank you! 🙇♀️ I shall bookmark it!
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#smay2jq} Sooo... It _turns out_ I can make a very quick 'n dirty "Web Browser" using this nifty webview library 😎 📷
And twtxt.net works beautifully in it 👌
Comes in at a nice ~4MB binary.
And ~30 lines of code! 😂
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#i4op5hq} (#s7u5gmq) all I can remember is that when I opened the link it had a rather green branding/theme to it...
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#dhq4vsa} A few days ago I posted about signal being one of the only e2e encrypted messaging apps that I trust and it happens to be convenient for most people to use without being too technically minded. Someone suggested in a reply that there was an alternative based on the same protocol that was also open sauce that used the tor network as a broker. Can anyone remind me of what that was?
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#krx2ylq} @felixp7 (#r3ztadq) Let me know if it does! I might hack on it a few more hours to see if I can iron out any other quirks or bugs
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#owracqa} @dilbert (#cxzvxiq) Why does that sound so familiar? 🤔😳
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#traar2a} @felixp7 (#fo5xm2a) I _heart_ / _read_ that too, but not sure from where... Any chance we can dig it up and do some independent investigation to uncover the truth? Is it even open source?
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#kxbytja} @felixp7 What do you _think_ about the Brave Web Browser? (_I haven't tried it_):\n\n> The Brave browser is a fast, private and secure web browser for PC, Mac and mobile. Download now to enjoy a faster ad-free browsing experience that saves ...
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#45j3fva} (#r3ztadq) I cannot find pre-built binaries for Links2 or Dilllo or Homebrew formulae 😢 (
I'm lazy_)_
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#vwonnlq} Hah speaking of cross-platform Web Browsers... Managed to get this to build successfully on my macOS dev machine! 😎 📷
Sadly twtxt.net doesn't work very well in it though 😢
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#y4dchiq} (#kbibs7q) although to be fair it’s been that many years since I’ve used Linux on the desktop that things may have changed… I’m not sure they are 🤷♂️
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#25dep7a} @felixp7 (#kbibs7q) although I do have to make sure that they run OK on Mac iOS that’s not as my primary desktop operating system these days has canonical the company and a Ubuntu l successfully destroyed the only decent accessibility on Linux for a vision impaired/blind person 😥
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#ta6q3hq} @felixp7 (#kbibs7q) Thanks for the reminders 😁 i’ll install one more of these browsers and make sure that the Twt.social web app works in them 😁
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#uoucq7a} @felixp7 (#kbibs7q) Yes! now that we have Goryon finally on both upstairs and a half decent API plus several clients the biggest thing that we need to focus on now and something that I will personally struggle with his marketing, advocacy and expanding the network as these skills skills I don’t really have. on the bright side however there are in fact actually 10 different pods in existence today one of which we don’t actually manage or have anything to do with at all!
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#kwghc2a} @felixp7 (#kbibs7q) yeah I actually like Lynx/ELinks/Links myself, \nI only wish it understood some very basic CSS and how to render images. JavaScript in my opinion can just die or swift death 😂
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#6rb6x2a} @felixp7 (#kbibs7q) I assume your last statement is a good thing? In order for something to be generally and more openly useful I think it has to have a much wider target audience in my opinion…
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#ay2w7wa} @felixp7 (#kbibs7q) how many of them are truly cross platform though? As-in can build from source and or run on more than just Linux.
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#l5sitjq} @felixp7 (#kbibs7q) well the thing is about Twtxt I think in general it ran out of steam and enthusiasm waned across-the-board years ago back in 2016 only months after it was initially launched. I am however trying to revitalize it once again and get it to a point where it can become more useful to more people not just an inner circle of hackers... whether or not we will actually succeed remains to be seen… But we have a wonderful team behind everything that we have built so far 🤗
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#3vevhaq} @felixp7 (#kbibs7q) so I just finished reading the blog post you linked, and if all of those references are true that is really disgusting Mozilla! The problem I have is that the Gopher and Gemini protocols whilst are of cost simpler they have course have their own sets of problems. Pros/Cons. The real solution IMHO here is for someone to write a decent cross platform web browser that a) doesn’t suck and b) works like the original web browser should have.
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#icgj24q} @felixp7 (#kbibs7q) why do you think that is? Why do you think these great ideas invented and or reinvented by hackers eventually run out of steam? even this project of mine runs the risk of running out of steam too, but I damn well am sure going to try to keep the level of effort and enthusiasm behind the project!
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#fipjdua} @felixp7 (#dcielwq) Yeah you’re right! That’s why it’s such a shame to see yet another large tech giant corporation ruin yet another good piece of software and game (_ not that I ever played it myself_) #Minecraft #Microsoft
{@https://twtxt.net/user/dooven/twtxt.txt>#unjwb4a} (#wbfecda) daamn. if a tire goes to the gym everyday, it'd look like that
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#lzgyynq} @dooven @kt84 (#wbfecda) Growing up in PNG (_Papua New Guinea_) I’m only familiar with these tyres! 📷
{@https://twtxt.net/user/dooven/twtxt.txt>#wpoz6xq} (#wbfecda) @kt84 yeah they usually last pretty long! good investment and it makes me feel safe while driving icy roads
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#jcbpnca} @kt84 (#cenb5ga) Hmmm 🤔 be rather strange set of rules 🤣
{@https://twtxt.net/user/kt84/twtxt.txt>#fyahnvq} @dooven (#wbfecda) wow that’s expensive. Do they last more than one season?
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#wcxh7pq} @dooven (#wbfecda) Hahaha 🤣
{@https://twtxt.net/user/kt84/twtxt.txt>#rtmj2zq} @prologic (#cenb5ga) a new chess alternative?!?
{@https://twtxt.net/user/kt84/twtxt.txt>#fr7kd5q} @off_grid_living (#i4kpona) the local produce store has turkeys! pass on to Mrs off_grid_living.\nwhite girls and babies!!
{@https://twtxt.net/user/dooven/twtxt.txt>#d64mgoa} @prologic (#wbfecda) I guess they just look "cool" to me coz i paid so much for those damn things 😂😂
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#u2xx76a} @dooven (#wbfecda) So these? 📷
They look like normal tyres to me? 🤔
{@https://twtxt.net/user/dooven/twtxt.txt>#akfpnpa} @razetime (#bhzcngq) haha yeap same here 😂
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#3dw3dya} @slashdot (#dcielwq) Time for us to build an open source alternative to Minecraft? 🤔
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#peaqlua} (#eny5mva) I don’t know why I keep posting these and saying it’s the local jewelry store. It’s actually the local optometrist! 🤣
{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#dxpqoeq} today’s message from the local jewelry store ! 🤣 📷
