Walter Tross / is on Nostr

software developer (with a degree in physics – but that was long ago). I publish in English and Italian (currently more in English), + German, French & Spanish occasionally (mainly in answers). I dream of a better world, where we can fight pain, discomfort and poverty, instead of fighting each other.

Consideratemi pure strano, ma a me di quante medaglie olimpiche vinca l'Italia (o la Germania, data la mia doppia natura) non me ne può fregar di meno. Questo non toglie che le vicissitudini olimpiche degli atleti di _qualsiasi_ nazione mi possono a volte anche un po' emozionare o commuovere.

@npub14wv…ahnv non lo trovo associato ad alcun dizionario on-line, ne desumo che si tratti di quello che una mia amica chiamava "un errore di stumpa" (d'altra parte, anche etimologicamente non avrebbe senso)

just go to https://www.yamllint.com and try it out (I just did and it was like I expected)

it seems to me that no, you are not following the spec. The @ is invalid only when starting an UNQUOTED string (scalar)

@npub18yv…xxyn
I continue to think you are misinterpreting the specs. "@..." is perfectly valid by the specs

you should fix what's broken, you should avoid adapting your yaml to what's broken

@npub18yv…xxyn
if I were you, I would just replace \u0040 with @ in your yaml and try it out. It should work! If not, you have a dumb conversion somewhere in between that spoils your yaml

@npub18yv…xxyn
I don't get it. A " followed by a @ should be alright, by the specs! A quoted scalar can start with anything, just not another quote unless it's the empty string.

didn't know about @ at start of keys, is this another Norway problem (q.v.)?

Dear #Fedilab (@npub1ehd…udlw), until now I have been recommending your #Android app, because it displays threads as what they are, i.e., trees.
But I found out (the "hard way", so to say) that you do #markdown formatting and HTML removal, neither of which are done by the standard #Mastodon web UI or the Mastodon Android app.
IMO, this is simply not right. Not even if you made it optional. A post/toot should not be seen differently depending on where you see it. This is not an enhancement, it's a mistake

@npub16rs…dfz9 Nice photo, and you are correctly boosting it right on #Ukraine's "Day of the National Flag"!

@npub105v…hk8p It seems to me that a discriminant here is whether you already have a key or not. In your case, you already do have a key, you just need to convert it (by hashing it). That's not always the case
