@starletvania hello ((hello hello [imagine this as an echo])). ☺️

@thecanine with this you meant Conversations, not XMPP, right?

"Also, finally getting full screen view for avatars in XMPP - a better integrated one, after 25 years. Y@ay!"

On QRs, as long as they work (and they are quite resilient), it doesn’t matter. Their design, and colours, will be based on theme in which they are included. They are getting used more now in the US. They are king on East Asia. They are awesome.

@movq this is mind boggling. How come it looks just fine under Mosaic, and not under IE3? Man, am I glad I don't use a Microsoft browser!

Almost sure it would look even better if you removed CSS altogether for IE3, and the like. Your site is clean as a whistle, just vanilla, no CSS.

@prologic yeah, that will work perfectly. Because you are using “please”—which we all know is a magic talisman word of obedience—all uploads of your code to Github will be automatically paused, until such magic word is removed. 😂

@prologic I remember going through your “introduction to Golang”, I don’t remember the URL, but I vividly remember going through it, and I was lost at chapter one. So, about that “mastering” the core in hours, “I don’t believe you.” (insert I don’t believe you meme animated GIF here). LOL.

@kat I don’t like Golang much either, but I am not a programmer. This little site, Go by example might explain a thing or two.

@prologic so, what did you have for dinner last night? How's the weather Down Under a bit past 02:00? Do tell me. 🤭

Always glad to hear from you, mate. I understand work and personal life often demand attention. Just a well-being check, that's all. ☺️

@lyse an "informal" one. @movq doesn't even need to reach out. Simply wait until they start playing, measure the tempo, and start bassing on queue! Oh man, I can already imagine it! Dreamy! :-)

Again, I was simply pointing out that, if he used AI to correct misspellings, and improve grammar, then this isn't true:

“This post was written entirely by a human, with no assistance from AI. (Other than spell- and grammar-checking.)”

In reply to: #zgkwt4q 1 week ago
bender (twtxt.net)

@thecanine right. Spell checkers are not AI. Full grammar checking, and correction? That one I have not seeing, but on AI. So, what I meant was, let the grammar gaffes show; we type as we speak (most of the time). About spelling mistakes, well, let them be corrected as we have done since 1971(?).

In reply to: #zgkwt4q 1 week ago

@prologic to err is human, to forgive is divine, right? I say let us err, and forgive. My grammatical errors make me me. Misspellings? Well, we need no stinky AI for that!

@prologic Dustin's last sentence on that post:

"This post was written entirely by a human, with no assistance from AI. (Other than spell- and grammar-checking.)"

Is it true that it was written "entirely by a human" then? Pfff.

@prologic I forgot to ask you about this. Did you ended up using TLS with Caddy, or you used something else?

In reply to: #stxbcda 2 weeks ago

@lyse now, that's as clear as water! See? How come @prologic wasn't able to put it that way? LOL.

In reply to: #3a5pggq 2 weeks ago

@prologic I am not convinced. LOL. Can you ELI5 the problem, and what breaking the feed in smaller chunks solves?

In reply to: #3a5pggq 2 weeks ago
bender (twtxt.net)

@lyse what is the advantage for keeping it small? Will tt/tt2 bog down if your feed isn't rotated?

In reply to: #z4z4t6q 2 weeks ago

@prologic right. I wonder what prompted the measure. Perhaps Microsoft doesn't want any scrapper but Copilot to be lurking around? That might even sound as anti-competitive. I wonder how long will it take for lawsuits to kick in.

In reply to: #rsleb5q 2 weeks ago
bender (twtxt.net)

@prologic that will not be a problem; as long as it doesn't affect authenticated users it wouldn't make a difference. But we are comparing apples and eggs here. I don't access GitHub while unauthenticated, but I can see how others might. It comes across as anti-web in general.

In reply to: #rsleb5q 2 weeks ago
bender (twtxt.net)

@movq, "60 requests per hour", eh? Was that a thing (that is, unauthenticated access to GitHub)?! I know I am on the minority, perhaps, as I rarely (or never) access GitHub unauthenticated.

@javivf use 6697 as port, make sure it is using TLS to connect.

That should minimise the need for muting all those awkward feeds, I figure. :-D Sounds good!

@kat so, where is the site? Show us, show us! I use Hugo exclusively, just a binary. My sites also build upon a commit, on my own VPS. 🙈

@prologic LOL. It is from the Severance, AppleTV+ series. I am about to finish watching it with my kid---well, what's available for seeing. The series is still ongoing. I recommend it!

@xuu a Star Wars series, eh? Never been a fan. I am Trekkie instead; it comes across as more science fiction, less fantasy. Still, I would see it if only we had Disney+. 😩

@lyse yes, it’s bad, but it’s the message what’s important. Now, if you want, I can give you a different perspective on the site, so that you will not see it as horrible anymore. And I will do for only $199.99. A bargain!
