(#kspztjq) @bender@twtxt.net It’s sad. Remember that Munich once ran the LiMux project. 😞

We could build a strong IT sector in Germany or the EU, but we just don’t want to.

(#34cy36q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @bender@twtxt.net I’m not very knowledgable regarding the two points you mentioned, hence I didn’t include them in my list. But, yeah, from what I’ve heard, it doesn’t look good.

hello, @threatcat !

helooooooo @sxb@tilde.club!

Just testing out twtxt!

Props to him on nailing messaging tho. Essential activist skill, and he’s crushing it

ENSHITTIFICATION the book I guess lays out a framework, but the references are all his own covered territory

Kinda hit a wall w/ messaging tho. In the last few months I read INTERNET CON and CHOKEPOINT CAPITALISM, and listened to the CBC podcast

OK, glad I made the drive. Seeing Doctorow speak with the same speed + enthusiasm you hear on his audiobooks + interviews is pretty cool

(#5i5mhvq) Hmm anyone got a contact detail for Andrew? @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club – The emails/contacts I have have all bounced 😭

(#tfdxx6q) @bender@twtxt.net Hmm anyone got a contact detail for Andrew? @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club – The emails/contacts I have have all bounced 😭

(#5i5mhvq) @aelaraji@aelaraji.com I’ll poke @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club

car dependency and car culture ruin Miami for me

that’s an hour to only travel 16 miles

Going to see Cory Doctorow’s book talk, but loathe having to drive an hour to get there

(#34cy36q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Great writeup! It’s just missing a section on burning down the planet.

(#ikbmtja) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah, I see.

(#yicaifq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Maybe, but still nice. 😊

(#34cy36q) @bender@twtxt.net Thanks for this illustration, it completely “misunderstood” everything I wrote and confidently spat out garbage. 👌

(#n6ery5a) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org There’s an auto-finish function:

https://movq.de/v/7a01b9471c/os2-autofinish.mp4

I just did it by hand because I found it satisfying. 😅

Not as cool as yesterday: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-11-05/

(#z2diwfa) For the innocent bystanders (because I know that I won’t change @bender@twtxt.net’s opinion):

(#vglpnxa) @bender@twtxt.net Hahaha, great, mission accomplished! :-D The cleanup took half an hour, that was the annoying part. But the immediate aftermath of this accident looked really funny, I thought about taking a photo for a second. However, in order to confine the damage quickly, I decided against it.

(#grtrc7a) @bender@twtxt.net Not sure, if we actually have a law like that. But I wish it was the case. The clamp doesn’t say anything like that, just that it is now cactus.

The glue takes three days to reach its final strength. Let’s see. I’m sceptical.

(#whmndfa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, I certainly had better ones. :-D Despite I can already laugh at the hot chocolate spill, I’m still assimilating the clamp failure, though.

(#tfdxx6q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, you have to manually move each card one by one. That’s annoying. Haha, I remember the old Windows Solitair animation. :-)

(#llspbja) Winning animations (TkSol’s timing is screwed up): https://movq.de/v/92d7758740

Won a bunch of games of Solitaire and then rearranged the cards for maximum negative points, to distract me from the horrors.

(Still ended up with >0 points on OS/2, because don’t ask me.)

(#vvjfklq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org … sounds like a bad day. 😅

Grrrrr…eat, one of my Bessey spring clamps broke. Ripped the arm right in half. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just designed in Germany but actually made out of Chinesium. :-( I will attempt to glue it back together with two component adhesive tomorrow, but I don’t have high hopes.

(#njnwhva) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Klassiker!

(#z2diwfa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh shit! :-( Time to switch companies. If you found something, please let me know. This hype train is derailing here as well.

(#z2diwfa) @prologic@twtxt.net Nothing, yet. It was sent in written form. There’s probably little point in fighting this, they have made up their minds already (and AI is being rolled up en masse in other departments), but on the other hand, there are – truthfully – very few areas where AI could actually be useful to me.

There are going to be many discussions about this …

This is completely against the “spirit” of this company, btw. We used to say: “It’s the goal that matters. Use whatever tools you think are appropriate.” That’s why I’m allowed to use Linux on my laptop. Maybe they will back down eventually when they realize that trying to push this on people is pointless. Maybe not.

thanks @lafe@tilde.club!

init to begin it

(#tddzt4a) Ping me if you’re intersted!

I’m building a service that lets you:

create and manage disposable, brandable email aliases so you can track leaks, forward important messages, and keep your real inbox clean.

I’ve just finishing building it for the most part, and have cut a v0.1.0 release. It’s currently closed source (to be decided later) and now open to beta testers. cc @bender@twtxt.net 🙏 I fully intend to monetize and offer this as a paid service in teh coming weeks/months, but beta/invite-only testers and early adopters/users first 🤟

(#z2diwfa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de What did you say? 🤔

(#mjqmz5q) @zvava@twtxt.net Late happy birthday! :-)

Cool, your website indeed mostly works even in w3m and ELinks. Sending notifications in the about page is out of question, since it requires JS. Apart from that, this is very good, keep it up!

Not sure how I can get the deskop look and feel working in Firefox, but since I’m a tiling window manager user, I prefer linear webpages anyway. :-)

It happened.

Management asked me if I’m using enough AI and what I’m doing to learn more about it.

(#tusvonq) @arne@uplegger.eu Hmm, wird da wieder Krieg gespielt? :-(

We got some colors in the sky: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-11-04/

Fuck me! I made a giant mess by knocking over the fresh cup of hot chocolate. I completely soaked my desk, t-shirt, pants, socks, house shoes, seat pad, chair, footstool, chair mat and floor. Showering beforehand was well worth it. :-D Let’s see where I will locate the smell of spoiled milk in the next days. Maybe underneath the baseboard? I’ll take bets.

At least my aiming skills are pretty good. I missed keyboard, mouse and other electronics.

(#teybsiq) @thecanine@twtxt.net Woof woof! That’s a nice one. For a split second, the posture and the back legs reminded me of https://img.brickowl.com/files/image_cache/large/lego-monkey-with-yellow-hands-74499-99402-178585.jpg that I never had, but always wanted as a child.

(#2fkm5rq) @kiwu@twtxt.net Absolutely!

(#6yyztdq) @prologic@twtxt.net @aelaraji@aelaraji.com I’m glad you like ‘em. :-)

(#qxbqioq) @kiwu@twtxt.net I wouldn’t go that far haha 🤣 I’m not sure I’m all that wise 😂

(#qxbqioq) @kiwu@twtxt.net really? 🧐 msn I already feel old and broken and um not even that old 🤯

Scheduling the next Yarn.social Call for next month, a month in advance. Hope y’all can make the next one 🤞
