About the nuclear power plant on the Moon, they are beating us. There was a time we were ahead, but I understand nothing lasts forever. Now, being a world power for only one hundred and twenty some years, and a super power for around seventy sure is a record (as in short-lived). The Roman Empire lasted over 500 years!
@prologic I believe he is referring to this, on mentions, @abucci@anthony.buc.cidoesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt.
Sounds like a good plan. When can we expect this; end of the month? :-P
@lyse oh wow! That would be something I would print, frame, and hang somewhere very visible, with the image in question in it, of course. Soooo hot!
@lyse don't you go planting that seed around here, Mister! 😂
@eapl.me I wouldn't call it natural, it is the way Bluesky decided to handle handles (not meaning to make a pun, or anything). There is no other way, but that.
The bottomline is, there are agreed upon "standards", right? From example, on Yarnd you show as "eapl.me", from "eapl.me". A kind of weird redundancy because on twtxt, ever since I started using it, one will expect to see a "nick" (equivalent to a person's first name), from "a domain" (like a surname).
There is nothing holding back someone from giving themselves the nick:

@movq I tried. I am not flaunting screenies because they would bring me shame. 😅
hehe, just catching up on this thread! I've replied in another that using periods/dots sounds good to me as it's usual in domains, but perhaps some agreement would be needed. For now I think any character is valid as long as it is not a space. For example we are using this for PHP twtxt.php#L153
ok! sorry, somehow I'm getting lost in the replies.
@eapl.me he fixed the issue with the dots on nicks. It's all good now.
on timeline the mention looks OK. Is there an issue on Yarn?
It's an interesting topic. For example on Bsky it's natural to allow domains https://bsky.social/about/blog/4-28-2023-domain-handle-tutorial
Although TwiXter only allows (letters A-Z, numbers 0-9 and of underscores) https://help.x.com/en/managing-your-account/x-username-rules
@bmallred I know the Marine Corps tenet is "once a Marine, always a Marine". This guy, though, is the last thing I would think of when it comes to it. Maybe I have Marines at a higher esteem.
Anyway, enough of that. :-)
@kat oh yes! I didn't know I need a bit of Ruru until I saw this. Thank you!
@kat OMG! You used the video capabilities of yarnd 🤣 Nice! 😊
@kat Ahh my vision impairment (blind) would prevent me from even appreciating anything in paper form 😢
@kat my rule of thumb is try not to drink any caffeine past midday. This is basically based on experience and the half-life of caffeine in your system.
@aelaraji weekend coffee—the one mum brews, not the “dirty water” one can get elsewhere—keeps me jittery the whole day. Like I feel my heart wants out kind of jittery. Coffee sure is some elixir. Don’t give it up! 😅
@bender I wish we could fire presidents and Prime Minister's when the need arises and the people recognize it needs to happen rather than having to wait for the next election
@bender Holy moly 🤣 Bases on your description you've eaten and drunk way more than I have today where all I've had so far is three coffees today
I had Chick-fil-A breakfast today (sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit, hash browns, coffee, and orange juice). Then at lunch my work place offered hot dogs. I had two (kosher, if that matters), plus a coke, a macadamia nuts cookie, and a small chocolate brownie.
So, here I am, at home, feeling hungry but guilty and refusing to eat anything else for the rest of the day. To top it off, I have only clocked 4,000 steps today (and I don’t feel like walking). I am going to hell, am I?
@prologic don’t jinx it, comrade. Let’s keep a low profile, and be happy. Also, it should have been: “my pod feels…”, or “my pod twtxt.net feels…”. Come on, mon, you are killing me! 😅
@prologic if not physically, then in a matter of speaking. He is also helping on killing us all (like, all).
My pod twtxt.net feels very clear of late hmmm 🧐 This is good right? 😅
@lyse Love those green roll'n hills 👌 Btw, what's that rickety 'ol shed in 18? 🤔
My Hypothesis for why registries didn't work and why they still won't really work today is because the bend the rules of "true" decentralization a bit. Users have to pick one or more registries to "register" to. Why would they want to do this? What is their incentive to do so? Then on the other hand, users need a client that has registry support, but now which registry or sets of registries do you choose?
@thecanine they just come to you innately, just as breathing, or blinking. And they all look good!
"Here’s what we do know: After their meeting ended and Vice President Vance left the room, the pope was still alive. We can deduce that he was alive, because he was heard asking an assistant, “Ho appena incontrato il volto del diavolo?” which roughly translates to, “Have I just encountered the face of the devil?” It’s a very common question that has been asked in many languages after encounters with JD Vance."
I couldn't help but chuckling a bit while reading.
by commenting out DMs are you giving up on simplicity? See the Metadata extension holding the data inside comments, as the client doesn't need to show it inside the timeline.
I don't think that commenting out DMs as we are doing for metadata is giving up on simplicity (it's a feature already), and it helps to hide unwanted DMs to clients that will take months to add it's support to something named... an extension.
For some other extensions in https://twtxt.dev/extensions.html (for example the reply-to hash <a href="?search=abcdfeg" class="tag">#abcdfeg</a> or the mention @ < example http://example.org/twtxt.txt >) is not a big deal. The twt is still understandable in plain text.
For DM, it's only interesting for you if you are the recipient, otherwise you see an scrambled message like 1234567890abcdef=. Even if you see it, you'll need some decryption to read it. I've said before that DMs shouldn't be in the same section that the timeline as it's confusing.
So my point stands, and as I've said before, we are discussing it as a community, so let's see what other maintainers add to the convo.
I don't understand how come this isn't more on the news. It is a extremely big problem, that has very long lasting repercussions. Yet, news are mum.
@prologic The Mouse is the superstar! Go Mouse, go Mouse! 🎉🎉🎉
@bender I believe that's the only way. We'll deal with it as it comes up I think.
@prologic it's a pickle. Then sanitise the outliers. No other way.
@bender I can fix and make that work in the parser too. But I'm no longer sure how to cater for the general case. It's too much to support all punctuation whilst at the same time as other contradicting rules. For example you cannot both support . in nicknames and then expect to be able to to end a mention with a . 🤦♂️
@bender Yes I know 🤣 It's okay, we just have to build better parsers 😅
