(#cwdgedq) @retrocrash@twtxt.net We used the meet.mills.io Peer Calls instance, and I didn’t run into any problems. I used Ungoogled Chromium. How was it for you @ocdtrekkie@twtxt.net?

(#cwdgedq) @ocdtrekkie@twtxt.net I usually take notes during the call, but today I just went back and skimmed my messages after you hung up.

Great conversation with @ocdtrekkie@twtxt.net tonight. Some things we talked about:

• Goryon being taken off the Google Play Store
  
• The woes of uppercase ls and Iowercase Ls
  
• De-Googling Android
  
• The Google Glass and how it forced you into the walled garden
  
• iOS and privacy
  
• Privacy legislation and the extent to which people know about the spying
  
• Creepy Amazon stores
  
• The new issue of Lab6 (https://lab6.com/3)

(#cy4gccq) @prologic@twtxt.net Interesting…

(#6bwqvpq) @prologic@twtxt.net No, I haven’t. mckinley.cc points to a web host that wouldn’t let me host a broker. I’ve got a VPS and some other domains, I just haven’t done it.

I couldn’t figure out the client, anyway. I couldn’t see my messages, and when I run salty-chat read I only got one message at a time. I haven’t touched it in a long time, though, so maybe things improved.

(#vzwh5ba) @prologic@twtxt.net No worries. I’ll host if anyone is interested. https://meet.mills.io/call/Yarn.social, 5 AM UTC

(#cy4gccq) @prologic@twtxt.net uLinux?

(#vzwh5ba) @prologic@twtxt.net Count me in!

@adi@f.adi.onl Hey, long time no see. How’ve you been?

(#ix5mbfa) @kt84@twtxt.net How long does the battery last? I’m skeptical of electric yard equipment like that. I had to borrow an electric string trimmer a few weeks ago. Piece of garbage! It struggled to cut through anything, and the battery died in less than 20 minutes. I don’t think it was a real inexpensive one, either.

I’ll have my real gas one (that would cut your leg off) running by the time the weeds come back.

Sounds familiar… https://farside.link/nitter/TwitterWrite/status/1539640956915290112

(#mk5vznq) @prologic@twtxt.net Oh, that’s refreshing. From your reply, I was thinking it was both.

(#mk5vznq) @prologic@twtxt.net Heh. Cloudflare was down too. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31820635

Aw man, Cloudflare’s back up.

I think this is the first time I’ve seen Yarn.social mentioned in the wild. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31789501

(#vyeupqa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Bookmarked! I thought the page layout looked familiar.

Interesting. A simple, expiring, JavaScript-free image hosting system. Did you make it? Is the source available?

Meeting notes for tonight. Definitely an interesting talk tonight with @prologic@twtxt.net and @ocdtrekkie@twtxt.net. I think Yarn.social might have come up once or twice. :)
