Got to love the sense of humour:

Blog.txt supports multiple options for the chronological order of posts. If you start writing new posts below old posts, the default post sort is descending. If you start writing new posts above all the old posts, like I do, then the post sort algorithm will default to ascending. But if the user would like to change the sort order of the posts, they can press the "End" button on their keyboard to reverse the default chronological order!

Now, onto the real question: what to eat? Partner isn't home, so zero nutritional supplements have been consumed, and I have been lazy enough not to go out to fetch me something. So... hmm, yeah. Going to an eight years old niece birthday "roller scatting" party in an hour, maybe I get lucky with a slice of pizza, or two. 🤣

After you've exploited someone, it never hurts to thank them. That way, it's easier to exploit them next time.

@movq OK, I am on request/question asking mode today. 😋 How do you cancel a twt, or a reply to a twt? Say I hit my reply, and then I change my mind? Right now, even exiting vi is creating an empty line on my twtxt.txt. Is there an obvious way to cancel a twt, reply, or fork that I am missing?

@movq would it be possible to trim the subject to, say, 100 or 140 characters? Just the subject.

Is it me, or Gmail's web interface is going down the drain? Using Safari---my default browser---often takes two, or three clicks to open an email. If it weren't because its search is amazing, I would never visit its web interface.

@movq what is your cron job repeat time for jenny? Currently I have mine to every minute, and while it allows me to participate fairly quick on conversations it has some drawbacks: it captures every single edited twt, so I end up with seemingly the same twt, but not quite---as it has minor edits, etc. So, "repeats". Perhaps setting cron to check every 5 minutes or so is best?

Apple Event for 18 October 2021, 10:00 PDT, 13:00 EDT begins. Commentary will stream as replies to this twt. I might miss things here and there, as I will also be on a work meeting from 13:00 to 14:00 EDT.

Apple Store online down before today's event. Less than two hours till it goes live!

An estimated 6.8 million fewer female births will be recorded across India by 2030 because of the persistent use of selective abortions, researchers estimate. --- The Guardian

And from the same article:

India’s skewed ratio of men to women – currently between 900-930 females per 1,000 males – reflects India’s ingrained attitude towards girls. Boys are seen as breadwinners while girls are seen as a burden across every social class. Boys are more likely to receive more nutritious food and better medical care than girls.

That is just beyond sad.

The features that macOS Monterey will bring, albeit minor, will made for a better "quality of living". I am looking forward to Notes, and the iCloud+ integration (Private Relay, Hide My Email). It also bring macOS cohesively close to iOS. My work 2015 iMac and M1 Mini will get it, so looking forward to it!

I spent a couple of hours today looking for interesting people to follow, and subsequently engage with, on twtxt without much luck. Finding twtxt.txt files is easy. Finding them active, or talking about interesting things is the challenge.

@prologic Hmm, that's pretty low! But I had my coffee long ago, though it is still 19:26 in your past. 😂

@prologic Let's make it four! 😋

@movq Sorry! 🙈

@prologic Ah, I see! The format (or specification) for the twtxt.txt file hasn't changed as of late, right?

@lyse Yup, it works great! I understand many people will not take my approach, and that's fine with me. ☺️

I am noticing that Yarn doesn't treat "outside" (that is, twts coming from a client other than Yarn) twts hashes right. Two examples:

• https://twtxt.net/twt/mwtnrna
• https://twtxt.net/twt/fl5dooq

There are many more, but those two will give you the gist. Yarn links the hash to the poster's twtxt.txt, so conversation matching will not work.

Oof! I found a bug on Yarn's Markdown rendering, @prologic. See OP.

@movq, would you know the regex to use within .muttrc to colorise a Markdown code block like the one below?

# This one works for `code`, but that's about it.
(^|[[:space:][:punct:]])\`[^\`]+\`([[:space:][:punct:]]|$)

Having used---and still using---1Password (a password manager) for many years, I have gone through a few stages of disliking/frustration with it. The first was when subscriptions were set in place, the second is now, with their approach for auto-filling under iOS. It is, more often than I would like to, telling me to configure it when I did so from day one. My open support ticket isn't going too far either.

I wish iCloud KeyChain would mimic some of its features, so I can just dump it. KeyChain has improved a lot, now allowing OTP to be saved with a credential, but it is still not quite there yet.

It work like a bliss, and it is exactly what I wanted. I don't often see the need to use new lines but having the ability to do so add richness to the whole experience. Thank you very much, again, for listening and implementing this!

This will be the last entry on this conversation (hopefully!):

#!/bin/bash
echo "hello world"

The end!

@movq Awesome! About to git pull, and check it out. Thanks!

@prologic You will have to agree that always using reply (like I am doing on this one) loses everything on translation after the third or fourth replies. It simply doesn't promote engagement. On top of that, all replies show on the timeline as well, without much---to none---context.

@prologic I know, because fork makes it 100% sure to know who is replying to whom. Just like email's in-reply-to does (plus the message-id).

@prologic Make it fill in mentions? Problem solved. 😊

@prologic What if the reply does what fork does, for any replies to the top post, but not the top post itself? You know, like email does. Other than to reply to the top post (for which I use reply), I don't use reply but fork, to reply to posts underneath because it is the logical thing to do.

@quark It will look like this:

@lyse Unless you are stripping stuff on your twts, there is no much to implement. Things will be bold , italics , underlined , and so on, on a client that can render them. Since jenny uses Mutt, I can use my own regex in it to color them as I like. That's pretty much it.

@quark How about code? (this is mostly to configure mutt?)

Testing this here now

@prologic I am thinking on calling in sick to work. 😂 Every time I order an iPhone, I take the day off on delivery day. On Apple events I normally use my lunch and break times all combined, to watch them.

Apple's event on Monday is bringing, as always, speculation to the table. One thing most outlets seem to agree is the introduction of an "M1X" chip, thought Apple might call it differently. M1X might also mean, M1(we don't know what comes after, or next generation). Either way, I would really like to see the return of the 27" iMac, but I will not hold my breath. Nevertheless, Monday is going to be an exciting day for many, including me! 🍎

@eldersnake There isn't an equivalent for those because:

Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, or even close to it. Its syntax is very small, corresponding only to a very small subset of HTML tags.

You can read more of its philosophy at Daring Fireball. There are enhancements to Markdown (CommonMark, for example), that add extra to it.

@prologic That was ducking fast! 🚅

@prologic Oh, I see (no pun intended). Have you checked https://tailwindcss.com? Looks amazing!

@movq This is a sentence. This is one under it (single return). And another (single return).

And a paragraph (double return).

@movq 🙏🏻🙇🏻‍♂️

@movq LOL. As someone with OCD, I can relate completely. When I set to do "slight" modifications to a stylesheet, boy... often a start over is best, to eliminate commit spam.

@prologic Look on the web interface. Goryon needs work, but you mentioned that before.

@movq Goryon parsing is broken. Yarn shows it as I see it on jenny. Exactly the same.

@movq Nice! I am git pulling right after this. 🙈

@movq Yes! 🥳 🎉

@prologic I knew you were short sided from day one I saw Yarn. On desktop everything is huge, and I assumed it was to cater short-sightedness. Also, you have enabled underlines on buttons on iOS, bold and bigger fonts, etc., so that was also a give away. Sorry if I digress, but, glasses wouldn't help? I have to wear mine all the time, otherwise I am also near blind myself!
