(#2fo7y6q) Well, I use Metaā€™s services about once a week to contact people who only use FB, IG, and WA (developers from my country on Groups, friends on Messenger, and family). Here everyone uses Whatsapp 24/7 for work and leisure, and mobile carriers offer free access to Meta apps, so itā€™s difficult to avoid using those šŸ˜…

Iā€™m not a pictures person, so I push like 1 photo a year, but I adore microblogging: https://text.eapl.mx/microblogging

I use each service based on the kind of people Iā€™m talking to, mainly to start conversations or share thoughts.
Twitter was like the default for creativity and arts šŸŽØšŸ’», the reach and discovery of new people and content is decent (based on followers only), but a lot of people moved to Masto due to recent problems we all know.

No one uses Threads here (luckily) and I like twtxt a lot, but none of my close friends are here (yet) šŸ˜¬

(#tdjzg2q) well, this fork of pubtwtxt (web app to push twts to your twtxt file) has too many changes and different goals now (self-hosting a micro Web platform for a single user), that perhaps it should have a different name like twtxt-php šŸ¤”

Iā€™m really surprised that some TOTP/2FA apps like Google Authenticator only support 6 or 8 digits, and even Aegis only supports 10. I know it could break things to allow 12 or 16, butā€¦ Come on! Is not that hard to allow any reasonable number!

Hey tell me about this I found on your feed? šŸ™

Sure! By the way it would be great to have your thoughts!

I have started drafting those here:
https://github.com/eapl-gemugami/phpub2twtxt/blob/master/docs/02-metadata-extension.md

Those are: emoji (like on Gemini Station, an emoji instead of an image), lang (default language for every twt in the file, or specific for a single twt, like on Masto), version (to indicate which version of twtxt spec the txt file is using).

And I was checking that the hashing spec is prone to be extended from 7 characters to 10 or 11, so it would be great to know when that would happen.

Nice to greet you!

Iā€™m reading ā€œEverything is F*cked: A Book about Hopeā€ again. An uncomfortable reading on why we need hope and how we try to achieve it.
It makes me think a lot about my biases, public and privateā€¦

Well, I think itā€™s moment to start finishing the work week and prepare for the weekend. šŸ¤Ø

Today I found new -isms: Decentralism, federalism, centralism, distributismā€¦

Interesting how information collides with politics and ideology šŸ¤”
Buuut, thatā€™s nothing to worry about (yet).

Iā€™ve been really disconnected from twtxt due to work. Working on ETLs and Python all day long.

Not that bad, although I donā€™t want to work on the PHP client that much. Anyway, it has the min features to take a conversation, so it works as a minimalist client. šŸ˜…

(#gy33dfa) @prologic@twtxt.net Hi, glad to be here :) I discovered tilde community, gemini and gopher protocol through Mastodon and now twtxt, as well as your pod, thanks to gemini and some users which are using it.
But Iā€™m very newbie and I have a lot of questions about ,ā€¦, šŸ¤” šŸ¤” šŸ¤” in reference to its use with a client like twtr, selfhosting txt file and so onā€¦

We are looking for an automatic dehydrator to dry vegetables. Since the vegetable and beef broth from the supermarket contains too much palm oil and additives, we always make it ourselves. But it seems to use too much electricity in the oven. Besides, I could also dry fruit with the dehydrator. Does anyone have such a machine and can recommend it?

Itā€™s really ironic that today, May 17, is called ā€œIDAHO,ā€ International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia. Idaho is one of the most anti-LGBTQ+ states in the United States. (IDAHO began in 2004 to commemorate the end of pathologization of homosexuality by the World Health Organization.)
