Context for those who don’t know: Epic Games is the company behind the hugely popular video game Fortnite. As far as I know, the core game is still free-to-play and supported by microtransactions. It’s available on Windows, consoles, and mobile platforms. They sued Apple a few years ago because they felt the 30% cut Apple takes for in-app purchases was unreasonable and that they should be allowed to distribute their software independently of the App Store. It didn’t turn out so well for them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games_v._Apple

@prologic@twtxt.net what if I copy your uuid, and use it on my feed? What happens then? Also, was the dot after the timestamp intended?

More thoughts about changes to twtxt (as if we haven’t had enough thoughts):

1. There are lots of great ideas here! Is there a benefit to putting them all into one document? Seems to me this could more easily be a bunch of separate efforts that can progress at their own pace:
   

1a. Better and longer hashes.

1b. New possibly-controversial ideas like edit: and delete: and location-based references as an alternative to hashes.

1c. Best practices, e.g. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

1d. Stuff already described at dev.twtxt.net that doesn’t need any changes.

1. We won’t know what will and won’t work until we try them. So I’m inclined to think of this as a bunch of draft ideas. Maybe later when we’ve seen it play out it could make sense to define a group of recommended twtxt extensions and give them a name.

2. Another reason for 1 (above) is: I like the current situation where all you need to get started is these two short and simple documents:
   https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/twtxtfile.html
   https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/discoverability.html
   and everything else is an extension for anyone interested. (Deprecating non-UTC times seems reasonable to me, though.) Having a big long “twtxt v2” document seems less inviting to people looking for something simple. (@prologic@twtxt.net you mentioned an anonymous comment “you’ve ruined twtxt” and while I don’t completely agree with that commenter’s sentiment, I would feel like twtxt had lost something if it moved away from having a super-simple core.)

3. All that being said, these are just my opinions, and I’m not doing the work of writing software or drafting proposals. Maybe I will at some point, but until then, if you’re actually implementing things, you’re in charge of what you decide to make, and I’m grateful for the work.

FIN?

This is only first draft quality, but I made some notes on the #twtxt v2 proposal. http://a.9srv.net/b/2024-09-25

Three feeds (prologic, movq and mine) and my database is already 1.3 MiB in size. Hmm. I actually got the read filter working. More on that later after polishing it.

Some more arguments for a local-based treading model over a content-based one:

1. The format: (#<DATE URL>) or (@<DATE URL>) both makes sense: # as prefix is for a hashtag like we allredy got with the (#twthash) and @ as prefix denotes that this is mention of a specific post in a feed, and not just the feed in general. Using either can make implementation easier, since most clients already got this kind of filtering.

2. Having something like (#<DATE URL>) will also make mentions via webmetions for twtxt easier to implement, since there is no need for looking up the #twthash. This will also make it possible to make 3th part twt-mentions services.

3. Supporting twt/webmentions will also increase discoverability as a way to know about both replies and feed mentions from feeds that you don’t follow.

I’m not writing on ‘twtxt’ as much as I did in 2021-2022. While it has many advantages, I couldn’t get my close circle to join.

As part of my focus on digital minimalism, I aim to only use services that bring joy, value, and spark interesting conversations within the community.
That’s why I’m considering suspending my twtxt, switching to microblog on other platforms.

Getting a little sick of AI this, AI that. Yes I’ll be left behind while everyone else jumps on the latest thing, but I’m not sure I care.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de going a little sideways on this, “*If twtxt/Yarn was to grow bigger, then this would become a concern again. But even Mastodon allows editing, so how much of a problem can it really be? 😅*”, wouldn’t it preparing for a potential (even if very, very, veeeeery remote) growth be a good thing? Mastodon signs all messages, keeps a history of edits, and it doesn’t break threads. It isn’t a problem there.😉 It is here.

I think keeping hashes is a must. If anything for that “feels good” feeling.

Happy Birthday my Son, I guess you are still camping and celebrating your special day with family.

Can’t function without an AC

Had a amazing bike ride with the dog today, the weather is a bit cold today (15c). Been wanting to find a gravel road that I can use, without meeting too many others. And today I found that. Got his pulling harness on, got my bike out of the basement, and headed out.

From my bed, I can hear a noise outside that is most likely a confluence of insects and distant freight trains but sounds errily like the static-laden cacophany of an old radio. I would go out to see what it is, but a small part of me is worried I might end up living out an episode of “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” if I do.

我有一个绝妙的游戏点子，怎样才能把它做出来？——独立游戏可行性概念篇
如何完成一个独游项目的立项，大概可以这样思考：

1 想做什么？怎么整理自己的点子？

2 怎么确定自己的概念设计可行？怎么进一步推导可行性？

3 评估能力和成本，怎么做好项目的规划和商业化预期？

4 怎么让项目能够落地下来？

我会以“ 烟花”作为命题，来讲讲怎么从“烟花”这个概念拓展为能变成能落地的可行性概念。

人总会容易有一种错觉：我有一个绝妙的游戏点子，只要做出来肯定火。

那问题来了：

这真的能行吗？怎么才算绝妙的点子呢？

答案很简单：

别YY，去外部验证。

之前有群友问“烟花”怎么做成独立游戏，这次就以烟花当例子来进行推导。

首先，在动脑前，最好是先到互联网验证一下自己“绝妙的游戏点子”是不是已经有人想出来了，甚至做过了？
