@movq Only found 3 results for "robotst.xt" and OpenAI 😢 I seem to recall an effort (_I cannot find_) to build a standard for AI Crawlers similar to `robots.txt`

@mckinley Define "fundamental internet protocol"? Do you mean fundamental things that make the Internet work like IP, TCP, DNS, various routing protocols like BGP, OSPF, etc? Or things more like application protocols like IRC, HTTP, etc?

@movq To be fair Twtxt has always been quite niche. Yarn picked up interest a bit a few years back, but then things died down a bit. I built `yarnd` for me, I continue to use it and improve it every now and again. But I guess the only uses we'll continue to see and that includes new folks are folks that give a shit about simple things, and see value in a slow, privacy focused medium? 🤔

Cut my following list down to just a mere ~47 feeds. ~11 rss/news feeds, 23 local feeds from my pod, and 13 external feeds.

New feature (_not a great UX, sorry 😞_) that displays the last fetched feed status, last error (_if any_) and error count in your "Following" list. Check it out and cleanup your feeds for "hunk" 👌

@movq Well I used to have a handheld GPS device, probably before I lost most of my sight. I didn't really feel that it took ~12m to get a fix, it was usually much faster. You _may_ just find that all this A-GPS thing is all just bullshit anyway and just an excuse to collect and store your GPS location on some random web server that someone else owns 🤣

If Sam Altman really wanted "AI" to be in the hands of the people, he a) Should not have made deals with multiple devils that turned OpenAI into a proprietary company. b) Sold most of the company to Microsoft.

- ran out of disk space
- blew up the db on this pod (_corrupted_)

I _assume_ you share your followings publicly, I see them on your feed, so I _assume_ so. I was going to debug this on my side too today to see if.I goofed something up but my pod is rather busy so I hadn't done that yet 😅 (_actually working again finally on search_)

I can't imagine it's a static URL either, it surely has to be a unicast address of some sort. Relying on a static URL sounds like an utter disaster to me 🤔 I'd have to read the open spec on this...

@movq Surely it isn't as bad as this though right? 🤔 I mean reading the Wikipedia page on A-GPS, it sounds to me like it sends enough data to the nearest tower to give you enough data to warm-up the GPS receivership, presumably with GPS coordinates of the tower itself? I can imagine this data payload would include the Date/Time, IEMI and possibly your SIM details and Phone number (_why not_). It could be worse 🤣

@aelaraji I _think_ you tried to email me with an encrypted GPG email? 📧 Unfortunately the inbox you sent to (managed by Google Workspaces / GMail) isn't equipped with any GPG or my keys so I had to decrypt by hand, which sux. Are you on Signal?

Follow-up question:

What do we call it when you get to engage in discussion over topics you find in these "filter bubbles" with a different viewpoint, only to be shot down, overridden, or met with other arguments that support the existing "filter bubble"'s state?
