[ES] Sobre el texto (que debería escribir un espejo en español, por cierto)
Vengo de un contexto de hiper productividad, en el que todo el tiempo debo estar produciendo algo, influenciado por mi sociedad y también por un entorno de escasez (latam).
En 2021 disfruté mucho de hobbies, incluyendo la red hobista, como escribir en Gemini, participar en proyectos open source, etc.
En este 2022 aceptaré más que no todo es trabajo, no todo tiene que ser productivo, para encontrar un buen balance entre generar valor personal y a la sociedad

oh yeah, gotcha. I dislike Medium too. I tend to avoid using it, or linking with tools like 12ft.io.
Anyway the header is enough, I'll switch to Spanish now
I would like to know the opposite. Why creating a new one if the existent work well?
It has been my question for some services like Gemini (I use smol.pub).
I'm in that transition between super centralized (FB, Twitter, Medium), to self hosted, but now I'm kind in the middle due to the convenience and community!
Me, using a new Social (Pod)
sorry for the typos, my phone keyboard is playing with me 🙃
Disclaimer: I like some parts of the Blockchain innovation, the tech possibilities. But then we arive to the knife dilemma. It can save a life or kill a person.
I dislike that Crypto (along with buzzwords of the moment like meta verse) is about money and power, so it attracts people looking for easy opportunities and scams.
I think it's not a black and white. Not everything is good, not everything bad.
We were joking about Walmart directives asking the tech team... "Add 20% more of innovation, what 10% of meta verse and 10 of Crypto?"
Sounds like that with PayPal
@prologic Dann, maybe is really outdated, I'll look for some option later
If we are using key pairs, maybe the 2FA is not that needed. I'm looking forward to use them on Web, but the attempts have failed many times.
The answer is long. I'll summarize that the purpose of 2FA is adding a layer of security in the easiest way for the user (then we arive to disasters like SMS)
A long topic but twtxt.net is trimming my text on mobile, I'll try on the laptop later 🙂
> And you've shown yourself to not be competent in this issue, so I'll apply it directly and immediately myself.
👀 "Move away stupid, I'll do it"
Haha, no problem... If I can complain on it, it's usable enough 😜
Perhaps not, sounds like a semi-descentralized scheme with Blockchain as an attached buzz word... #noIdea
Recommendation of today:
https://github.com/rsc/2fa
Instead of using your Phone, Google Authenticator, Aegis or something similar, get your 2FA/TOTP codes from the terminal.
It's looking nice again, thanks!
Oops, I have never played any Diablo, although I played Warcraft and Starcraft a few years ago.
And for Privacy Focused poker I know of some open sourced GUI clients but none on Web, I'll have to look for options
A normal day with a lot of meetings...
Does anyone want to play some Poker texas online these days?
3.00 km more for today 😤
In my town, very close to the States, a car is a must, you know, cities are not designed for pedestrians and such.
That being said, an eink car sounds like a cool concept, but useless in practice 😎🤔
Hey! Why twtxt.net changed in my phone web browser? , now everything is smaller
#iNeedMyGlasses
Ready to enjoy the traditional "Rosca de Reyes" (King cake) with my wife. Do you have something similar there?
Wikipedia - King cake
That's the interesting side of that 😅
Tomorrow I'll have the first meeting with the Legal side... Wish me luck!
I'm in Lesson 6 of Rust Book... The interesting parts are just starting 😅
So far I'm doing better than with Scala, Haskell, Erlang, Go and Nim (previous languages I've tried to learn and feel comfortable with), let's see...
-50 damn!
And I'm complaining with just -1
Only because family, otherwise I would be in Brazil or somewhere warmer
Topic of today is Balanced Scorecard, or how the group of artists, designers, programmers, lawyers, managers, and more, have to think about
Finances, Organizational Grow, Customer/Public Satisfaction and Production Processes
Fun day ahead 😁
Any suggestions or previous experiences?
@prologic please! I have a few years sitting on the same chair more than 10 hr a day and it's not healthy at all!
I recommend those 7 minute routines, and elliptical machines where you can simulate a bike, walking or moving your arms. But walking outside is even better! #forOurHealth
Damn, today I made 5 km on the stationary bicycle 🚲 but forgot to take the picture, so #believeMe
@prologic I have 6 years trying to make a living out of games going full time on it, buuut it's not that easy as with indie software development.
Anyway, I'm enjoying life as never before, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯_

I ask for screenshots to non-technical people, specially for stuff with UI, but I agree copying the error trace log is much better for some stuff (e.g. crashes)
What we try to do is having a 'Copy to clipboard' button so it makes everything easier
Today I moved all my EPUB and PDF books from my PC and Phones to a Kindle Paperwhite 3
I hope that helps me to read better and don't get distracted by using my phone
#winterCleaning
sorry for the typos, I can't write with my hands frozen
#stopComplainingDuda
BTW I can't edit from Goryon 😜
1 year with our dog has been life changing... 🐶 <- (not the actual breed, haha)
I didn't imagine of the great moment she would give to me (and to my wife too, I'm sure)
#morningReflections
@prologic hehe, if that is like my previous experience in the corporate world (the bestest company in their area), it's watching some people work on some platform designed by someone else...
Won't add much more, fun times and great memories in fact
@prologic at the bottom of my homepage there is the detail https://eapl.mx
Basically videogames and board games studios, and we have a few months understanding crypto gaming + eSports
2nd day at work...
Is was nice to stop thinking in 'Holidays Mode', I like to work and being productive, although the house is too cold. Like 9 C outside and 12 C inside. 🥶
Not that bad like in the Weekend with - 1, but what can I say, he
#justComplainingToday
How is your day looking like?
@prologic @ullarah those Pine devices look amazing.
I'm watching (pun intended, ha) that the final price to my home for the Watch is 57 USD which is not bad.
I agree it's too geeky and perhaps incomplete as a solution.
I don't think you can extract info from an Apple Watch w/o using their APIs so finally Apple is having your data... #noIdea
@lohn ha, I tried once or twice... Can't say it was easy, it's a very peculiar environment.
Good luck!
I used to wear an iPod Nano (around 2012) to count the steps and pacing but now is broken and I don't have any Fitness Smartwatch or similar, so I thought taking a picture of the machine could work... 🤔
Yeah, sorry for trimming the photo, the background is not tidy.
It's from the Elliptical machine.
3.00 km for today...
I'm still thinking of making some bot to 'read' the images and progress in some story or game... In the meantime, I'll only sum the km, for something later, ha
@prologic cool! Sounds too advanced and technical!
@prologic hehe, I feel your pain... If I may ask, what do you do at your day job?
@movq hehe, weird, right?
I mean, it's extremely powerful and I have even created some Macros and VBA a few years ago but doing Advent of Code with it, wow, my respects.
All I was doing was some Pivot Tables and normalizing some data, hehe
Practising 'advanced spreadsheets' at work...
Fun day 😁 #becauseNerd
@prologic Stupid holidays! 😜
Luckily those are over today, back to work 😅
Sunday of Football 🏈, videogames 🎮, family, fixing cars, and working on building houses...
A pretty different Sunday, luckily
The ideas behind these alternative calendars are interesting. I don't know if they could replace what we use (I've discussed a little in the log), but interesting at least...
@movq @prologic like when the world was going to be destroyed by timezones in the Y2K 😆
Finally! happy new year to everyone in this timezone #2022
Best wishes and good vibes!
BTW the code is 614, ha 😆
@prologic and about creating an instance, there is a smaller but significant community in Latin American Spanish. On Smol Net, Tilde verse, to summarize different ideas on decentralization and open sourced nets.
For example I belong to Texto-Plano (Raw Text in Spanish), I'm spreading the word there and why not, see if there are some people interested
@prologic No problem 😃
It's always interesting for me to discover what other people know about my country... There are a lot jokes about it, like MX in American movies and such, hehe
@prologic I wish everyone here a nice #2022
Good vibes!
@prologic have you tried those extensions to auto accept Essential cookies?
I don't, but I'm intrigued 🤔
Those pop-ups are just a malicious compliance IMO
@prologic The ISO country code and top level domain for Mexico 🇲🇽 =P=
Day 2 learning #Rust
I finished a Guessing game, which is very similar to an exercise to learn QBasic in 1993 (?) ha!
Nice memories by the way...
Ha, I found someone in Australia with the same area code than me, that casually is the same of my biz partner in USA
1 in 999 perhaps 😉
#biasOfTheDay
@movq oops, it had happened the same to me with Go and C++ (And Scala, Haskell...)
I love C and C#, but C++ has 'something' I've never liked...
I don't really have a reason to learn then, and I can do many similar things with other languages.
C# for games
Python or JS for web
@prologic I agree
When you tie a behavior to business metrics, like retention and revenue... Well, usually the 'game' design suffers, and sometimes the learning too.
I had a short time creating 'educational games' until I found there are not games anymore, but tools. (With a few notable exceptions)
They are not fun to play and if you make them fun, you don't learn in a predictable way, which is not acceptable by the industrial education.
Something similar happens with social media which are optimized for addiction buuut that's another long conv.
@compudanzas Looks like a nice year!
I guess I need to work on mine too!
@prologic oh, you explained about the Moving average a few tweets (?) before...
I missed that msg! Nice, it brings me memories of a very old project to parse RSS and a few Leaderboards where I've used some statistical functions/weird math.
Good vibes with what you are doing!
@prologic Moving average? Nice, what are you using it for?
@prologic well, honest confusion from my side...
I joined here because someone requested me to use the twtxt format, which took me to https://twtxt.readthedocs.io
I was thinking of using the base format for my site, but finding options for a simpler usage I came to https://yarn.social and lastly to https://twtxt.net
So... Yes, it could be confusing if 'twtxt' (spec) is exactly the same as 'twtxt.net' (service for the same spec) when it's a (great) extension.
Or on how to name that extension.... twtxt 2.0 to say something?
@prologic Cool! I'm a complete newbie (although I use C, C#, JS, Python; if that helps), so if anyone wants to learn together, send me a reply!
if you are interested look for the analysis on Duolingo, on YouTube and some blogs.
They talk on how to measure the real motivation behind the task, often forgetting about the final goal, which is learning to use a new language.
Interesting readings and more interesting how to actually create that successful design
I was rereading a few old books in my Kindle, and reached to one about Gamification.
Although I'm not a big fan of gamified experiences and serious games as I was a few years ago, it always makes me wonder on how effective they could be for simple ideas.
For example I was thinking on registering your current run on a treadmill or elliptical in a twtxt file (or any Yarn service), reading it and unfolding a passive story based on your distance.
Or maybe exchanging those Km/Miles into some resource in a micro game.
The 'final' idea is to motivate you to do more excersise, which is a long discussion.
@prologic Sure! Backwards compatibility is a huge topic (and usually something no one wants to address so it comes to us)
I feel your pain, dude
For Indie Games and Webs I work on, it's about maintenance of previous versions and migration of old data to newer structures and teaching the young team how to do that. Complete fun!
Wow!, today Antenna had nice surprises and inspiring projects...
How are you doing in this last week of 2021?
@prologic Cool! That's a nice distinction between the format, the extension, the pod and Yarn.social. Maybe the similar names are confusing to newcomers, but besides that, a really noble project. Thanks for all your effort!
I was reading a little bit more about it here: https://www.prologic.blog/2021/12/19/future-of-yarnsocial.html
As I was 'saying' on Twitter, this kind of extension and online services would be required for that 'social content generation', I'm glad dev.twtxt.net has those ideas covered, like pagination for instance.
I made a Web clock in Hexadecimal. The Month, Day, Hours and Minutes are in Hex format so you can practice converting from Hex to Dec.
https://gemugami.com/hexclock
Aaand for the next text, what about the image of a decent New Year dinner?
Image, cool
Well, I'm surprised of the simple concept twtxt is, and the implications of it.
Perhaps I don't like that's too related with Twitter, but is a powerful reference point too, so... #dealWithIt
testing a reply from Goryon
Hey! First post over here. Playing with twtxt.net, the concept with txtxt, and the Android client Goryon.
