Here's a twt from @andros 's new version of Twtxt-el ๐Ÿฅณ It feels WAaaaaY better! although it freezes on me as soon as I navigate to the next page complaining about some bad url, but the chronological sorting of the feed as well as the navigation buttons (links?) are a great addition. Looking forward to the next update already! ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ

I'm usually comfortable keeping my hardship to myself, most especially AWAY from the internet; an act of kindness of sorts towards others, "Everyone's got their own problems to worry about" kind of thing.. But maaan am I starting to believe creating a twitter account would be a healthy decision ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฆ Read nothin' out there, just a one way echo chamber of sorts to let that shi_ out of my chest. It seem that's what everyone else's been using it for all this time.

A Bsky would be even better! ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'd get to shi_ post and yap all I want, allll the way from terminal and never ever have to look back at it or whatever comes out of it. But I digress...

I FU_ing despise this ... whatever this is. I wish I could just wake up in some sort of parallel universe where everything is just sunshine and rainbows, alas, life would be just as meaningless.

and sorry you had to read this if you did.

  • Still procrastinating over migrating my Jenny/Mutt setup out there. until then, I'll be getting my Twtxt fix reading through conversations over on the twtxt.net โœŒ
  • Gave a couple of Nostr based platforms a try, it was ... not for me to say the least.
