jacky I kind of like how Mastodon highlights that a mention of a person lives on a non-AP-friendly site http://noctule.jacky.wtf/s/d98MnRRYNsYrxpm

# wink but they messed it up with / and not .well-known
# wink they came late enough to actually been able to think about it
# wink sure, but who reads those humans.txt?
# wink nerds, who don't care for usability
# wink it's a few extra chars. I meant nerds in the sense of "if I can type /favicon.ico I could also type /.well-known/favicon.ico"
[Ana_Rodrigues] joined the channel
# wink the nerd barrier in this context is as low as understanding urls
# wink as in you wouldn't have checked it at google?
# wink because of the typing?
# wink no, that's backwards logic
# wink all the good ones were taken very early
# wink of course they were short.

# wink I'm pretty sure it was disallowed at the start
# wink I think I remember when @h got his
# wink also which evidence?

@t renames self to "T" to increase max chars per msg - thus setting off single char name landgrab. (twitter.com/_/status/128033)
# wink ok, you could've linked that earlier

# [LewisCowles] Cant we just dislike .well-known & similar for emotional reasons?
# 
[tantek] I feel jokes are a good reason tho, e.g. https://web.archive.org/web/20140702214604/https://www.google.com/killer-robots.txt
# [LewisCowles] its too eay to hit out at tech for technical reasons
# wink you can also dislike that fqdns are backwards for users while they are are actually the other way round
# wink I've never seen any studies if it had made more sense to have the hierachy with the root at the start
# [LewisCowles] Java is a case-study in why packages with backwards domain names are stupid
# wink why?
# [LewisCowles] uk.co.lewiscowles
# [LewisCowles] dual TLD's
# [LewisCowles] They convey the wrong thing first
# wink ok, what came first? co.uk or the DNS? :)
# wink so maybe introducing co.uk was the real culprit
# wink and yes, I'm not defending Java here, they came later. but the order is actually correct
# [LewisCowles] It's not the only 2-tier tld
# wink so you're disliking it for emotional reasons? :P
# [LewisCowles] 😉 see it works
# [LewisCowles] TBH I think tantek.com is better for the reason non-english ordering subject, detail makes more sense
# [LewisCowles] the subject is tantek, the detail of where it lives is supplementary
# [LewisCowles] all TLD's seem rather unnecessary in a global context
# [tantek] in terms of "ordering", just going to leave this here: https://xkcd.com/1179/
# 
Loqi [XKCD] ISO 8601 https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/iso_8601_2x.png
# [LewisCowles] As far as dates, that is the ONLY correct way to write dates
# wink yeah, least specific to most specific
# [LewisCowles] it's not least specific
# [LewisCowles] it's least changing first
# wink when? 2020
# wink when? march 12th
# wink I find that very much less specific
# [LewisCowles] so if we managed to work out further details, like solar ages, we could pre-pend the year and have ordering work
# [LewisCowles] I'm not 100% sold on the 2000 year garbage
# [LewisCowles] but nobody will participate in very long dates with me
# wink if completely ignoring everyone who changed handles or left twitter or uses digits, I see 60% of 1 and 2 letter handles being taken by accounts created i nthe first 2 years
# wink napkin math
# wink not saying they were all gone instantly but "ignored" sounds different if we assume that not all of them waited for 2 years but followed your example in the first year
# wink s/sounds/looks/
# wink I said that I'm willing to ignore that because I'm not starting to crawl archive.org now
# wink or maybe I was just unluicky that my initials as a 2letter combo were gone a lot sooner. I can't imagine I didn't try it
