(#tqapeoa) @marado I'm serving my twtxt in Spanish on Gemini as well, and perhaps we could serve Yarn/twtxt.net on a proxy. I like that the 'protocol' goes beyond federalization and it's mostly decentralized, with some inherent disadvantages like discoverability, so you can federate it, have pods, instances, directories and such. I'm missing some interoperation like on ActivityPub but not having it is a kind of feature. For me is like a self hosted blog with RSS.

(#lvyyusq) @marado To be honest, I normally just say to my wife (whenever I can encourage her to): > That's a good one to post on Yarn So I use the term **post** and **Yarn** (to refer to Yarn.social)

(#zffutwq) @marado I don't agree completely with the concept of wearing out (like audio CDs vs LP or audio cassettes) degrading quality over time. But in terms of accessibility, I fully agree. Now I can't play either CDs or LPs since I don't have a player. I'm using digital media like YouTube/Spotify for my old music. But I also have SD with music from 20 years ago... Basically, I like both media.

(#hzrblbq) @marado I _think_ the main thing that's important if you want to build your own client, publishing tools and host your own `twtxt.txt` file is to follow some or all of the specs we've documented at dev.twtxt.net. Probably the most important and useful ones are the Metadata, Twt Subject and Twt Hash extensions. For example, having an Avatar and Description in your feed is kind of useful and nice for others 👌 And being able to participate in "threads" by using the Twt Subject and Twt Hash exts is also useful 😅

(#hwp4cqa) @marado didn't know about that holiday, interesting. I don't like to be that radical with DRM, but having a DRM free option is always a requirement to me. It would be interesting to write a bit about DRM free options and why is it convenient for creators and audiences to prefer DRM free products.

(#6gffxaa) @marado You can just run an instance and turn off registration like @eldersnake and @xuu do 👌

(#l7l2iaq) @marado yeah, looks like a much better option Sondage - Yarn Weekly Call - Framadate

@marado @prologicnet (#nkrjalq) cc @prologic They facilitate replies (and, by extension, conversations) on twt.social. I think a few clients support them now, but @prologic can give you the particulars. 🙂

(#dyr46ra) @marado That's all true, but to play the devils advocate for a moment, how many people here, ever even heard about JPEG-XL until now, or used it in any way?

(#lwj2rdq) @marado that sounds way more accurate 😀 I haven't used a modem in 20 years, I think
