Can I create a new username and password? Please help.
Thank you.

@robvna@twtxt.net are you interested on running some advertising to your website here? For $1,400 we can run it on the main page, as a banner, or side adverts. I accept only bank issued checks, and we need to receive them first, before the advertisements go live. Let us know if interested. Thanks!

In-reply-to » I am pleased to announce that I received new glasses. Still a bit different to wear. New frame of course too. But, everything is now very sharp, and I can already feel that my eyes are much more relaxed.

@prologic@twtxt.net you know what I think about “the cache”. No comments. 😬😂

I am replying again, just taping reply once. Once course, since I am replying to myself I don’t see my handle. For this one I tapped once on reply.

So, I found a few oddities while on mobile.

  • From “Timeline”, I need to tap reply twice to have it fill the user’s handle being replied to.
  • From “Mentions”, “Discovery”, and inside Yarns, I need to almost spam it, to have it fill the user’s handle being replied to.

That doesn’t happen while on the desktop.

In-reply-to » Figured out a few more things with Damus/Nostr today. Set up Lightning payments and did a 21 sat microtransaction. Successfully authenticated my ID with my own domain. Started finding interesting people to connect with and branching out from their followers. Also tried out Iris in the web browser.

@axodys@octobloc.xyz I tried Iris, yes. Is OK. I proved to myself that Nostr will not work with just my own relay. Even if the latency is 1ms, all the clients will crawl to a stop with only my relay. It seems it is meant to use many relays, which I don’t like.

I also don’t have—nor want, not even free—any cryptocurrency, so that portion of the protocol is of no use, nor interest to me. Have fun, though! :-)

In-reply-to » 🤔 "Could a large language model be #conscious?" (by David J. Chalmers): https://philpapers.org/rec/CHACAL-3

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci it will be nice to be able to read in what context Weizenbaum wrote that. It comes from an article he wrote, “Social and Political Impact of the Long-term History of computing”, which I haven’t been able to find without selling my soul. I understand you are a scholar; could you “lend” us the article? PDF is fine. :-)

In-reply-to » Norway is buying 54 new tanks. Sweet upgrade. All though the current war is a distance from Norway - it's still our neighbour who is causing it. So it's always in the back of my mind.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I hear you. As always, hope for the best, but prepare for the worse. I am thousands of kilometres away, yet it is also always in the back of my mind.

In-reply-to » Decentralized Social Media Project Nostr's Damus Gets Listed On Apple App Store Nostr, a startup decentralized social network, got its Twitter-like Damus application listed on Apple's App Store. CoinDesk reports: Nostr is an open protocol that aims to create a censorship-resistant global social network. Media commentators have described it as a possible alternative to Elon Musk's Twitter.

@prologic@twtxt.net anybody can run a relay. I briefly ran one today. There are hundreds out there.

In-reply-to » Damus is an interesting app, but adoption and discovery are big issues right now. Crypto-dross is dominating the global timeline and nothing about the available content is going to be remotely appealing to a typical social media consumer.

And just like that, my affair with nostr is over. :-D

@axodys@octobloc.xyz I found it, but also found it to be lame, and uninteresting. I am not going to get rid of my private/public keys, and probably will not uninstall the app quite yet, but unless something changes radically I don’t see me using it much, if at all.

In-reply-to » I am still trying it, but I have to say—so far—nostr is a royal, and absolute, mess. As expected crypto bros everywhere, but also porn, all scams you can imagine, and more.

I bet I can find uses for it, but do I really want to? Say, I setup my own closed relay, and share it with family and friends. It all comes down to the quality of the client then.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci you have got the whole Zit family. I bet @prologic@twtxt.net is so jealous! Maybe he will get the Bogan family on his pod. That would be so swell! :-)

In-reply-to » Damus is pretty interesting, but the global feed is already quite the hellscape. I have yet to see anyone that I know from other forms of social media and signal to noise is quite low so far.

@axodys@octobloc.xyz add me! :-)

In-reply-to » @marado please give us a heads up if you are linking to Twitter. On mobile I have no way to know, and I am trying my best to avoid that hellhole.

@prologic@we.loveprivacy.club it is. I could opt for not following any link, but that would hamper interaction, and camaraderie. Out of politeness, I would like to know if a link I can’t see goes to Twitter, so that I can avoid it.

In-reply-to » I posted up a new discussion about the current filter menu on mobile. Keen to hear everyone's thoughts and even further suggestions :)

@screem@twtxt.net I am the wrong one to chime on this, as I don’t use them. The only reason I am replying here is because I find they take too much space, and are distracting as well.

I think your approach is better than current. Add some padding to the left (when filters are visible), and tone down that fly in/out that will make me dizzy, and you got yourself a winner!

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci they are saving the username, just in case. If twtxt.net becomes popular, they could sell them for some coins (virtual coins, that is). 😂

In-reply-to » @eldersnake that's the only thing I can think of -- which we do on the backend anyway for our server-side-rendered web app (SSR)

@prologic@twtxt.net ooooh! I see! I didn’t know you were using the mobile app, otherwise I wouldn’t have asked. I though there was a problem on the web interface (JS, or something related). By using the “old” addressing style, it simply randomises amongst the many similarly named, but different TLDs followings you have, right?

In-reply-to » Yesterdays hike was something around 22-25 kilometers in five and a half hours dead on. I encountered some very steep and slippery sections. It was exhausting but great fun, though. Sorry about the number of photos.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org lovely trek, and a long one indeed! Quite a bit to see on those photos. You got goats fighting, a picture perfect in the middle of nowhere (frame and all), a church, seemingly vast parches of land, snow, ice, a castle, a village, greenery, etc., etc., etc. Wow, it fees as if you walked through different seasons too! Well done, mate, well done.
