2021-01-15T19:20:33Z\t@https://twtxt.net/user/sjkelleyjr/twtxt.txt> (#lovfxga) I wonder if I can get one those also. ๐=
{@https://twtxt.net/user/off_grid_living/twtxt.txt>#7426j7a} @kt84 (#mqzlfyq) I would never a mask personally, as breathing in your own exhaust gases leads to illheath. We are supposed to breathe in 0.023% CO2, with a mask on, your breathing in 7% CO2, a massive increase in CO2 poisoning. One sign is more headaches, drowsiness and slowness of brain function. A simple Internet study reveals masks do not prevent contamination anyway.

{@https://maurice-renck.de/twtxt.txt>#hbtjxbq} @esureL Ja, klar, es gibt da einige Apps drauรen, die auch gut sind. Ich finde aber Pocket Casts macht das insofern ganz gut, als dass es vom Design und durch die redaktionelle Arbeit fรผr z.b. Empfehlungen etwas mehr in Richtung Mainstream abzielt.
{@https://maurice-renck.de/twtxt.txt>#rimmrya} Ich muss @sebastiangreger mal Danke sagen. Dank seines tollen Kirby Micropublisher Plugins konnte ich gerade iA Writer mit meiner Seite verbinden und direkt aus iA Writer heraus Posts verรถffentlichen. Das ist so toll und Sebastian hat mir so viel Arbeit abgenommen. Danke!
{@https://twtxt.net/user/adi/twtxt.txt>#cvv2j6a} @antonio (#yxyhboa) Mine is also having difficulties.
{@https://twtxt.net/user/antonio/twtxt.txt>#yxyhboa} So many ppl coming to Signal that the app stopped working for me. But I do hope that Signal can handle the income of users and become the de facto app for messaging.

{@https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt>#tyg2x4a} @adi (#u6jmita) Yes, good idea! A little bit more complex example would certainly also help. It took me quite long to wrap my head around on how to use this properly (maybe I was just too tired). What does the "upp" in "upp{html,xml,css,โฆ}" stand for? "pp" references the preprocessor, but the "u"? At the moment I don't have a usecase for mkws, but I'll keep it in mind. Btw, the "man" directory in the File Hierarchy section misses the "" in the tree.
2021-01-15T20:45:00+01:00\t@https://twtxt.net/user/adi/twtxt.txt> (#u6jmita) In my case I had trouble to get the overall idea on how to work with several files. My initial expection simply wasn't met. However, your HOWTO is the missing link, thanks mate! You definitely have to link this somewhere prominent. Maybe also publishing the raw mkws website sources (or a subset of it, probably without the tarballs) would also helpful to get one or two tricks. Ah, unprocessed, makes sense.
