personally i'm delighted that "live-tooting" is catching on.

@molly0xfff

I would also accept "emitted a series of toots".

@molly0xfff could we shorten it to… looted?
@codeboten @molly0xfff
That's what happened with FTX so might get confusing 🤣
@molly0xfff What an odious description for the narration of a case that stinks to the high heavens.
@molly0xfff in French, it's "pouet" which basically means honk. I much prefer honks to toots 😂
@kleb so THAT's where the word "poot" came from
@blake it's pronounced "pooh-ett". A funny kids joke is to say "dit camion" (say truck) and after you say it they honk you and say "pouet-pouet". It's been quite the experience assimilating here 😂
@kleb live-honking would also be a very fun turn of phrase
@molly0xfff @[email protected] Honking is all some of us do on here!

(honk)

@zev @[email protected] @molly0xfff
honk what we feel
bonk what we like
zonk what we don’t

@molly0xfff

I think a tshirt is in order: "Keep on tootin'..."

@molly0xfff I’ll toot when I’m dead
@molly0xfff I tired live rooting before. Totally cleared out the room.
@molly0xfff i love it. be the cringe you want to see in the world
@molly0xfff as a child, my baptist fundi grandparents made me say "toot" instead of "fart" in their house. so now every time people say "toot" i immediately think of farts.

@cryptobarf @molly0xfff “toot” always remind me of my father who was quite fond of this fun little gem.

“Beans, beans, the musical fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot
The more you toot, the better you feel.
So let's have beans with every meal.”

Damn, but I miss him….

@cryptobarf @molly0xfff I can't get used to it for the same reason. " beans beans the musical fruit. The more you eat the more you toot"

@molly0xfff Personally I'd prefer a system that allows for live, one-way sharing around a specific topic, sorta like Telegram channels but expendable, linked to some posting account (either the actual author or an org name) and not on Telegram. #ActivityPub could do this but I think something closer to RSS+WebSockets could be better suited.

Misintelligence's Live Center currently does this by polling an API every 60 seconds that is backed by a Matrix room.

@blake

Would RSS+WebSockets be a push serivce, though? I hate the idea of polling APIs.

Although pushing individually to instances has its own issues with scalability...

Anyway, my immediate reaction is that maybe another solution would be better, but if ActivityPub can already do it, is the other solution sufficiently better to justify having another solution to maintain.

What do you think?

@crcarlin
Websockets maintains an active stream, so it isn't polling.
@molly0xfff “Go away, Mom. I’m tooting.” - Me, in a month or so, I guess.
@molly0xfff I drafted a blog post that had a section for "tooting tips" and made myself laugh embarrassingly hard
@molly0xfff "we now go live to molly on the scene"
@molly0xfff Beans, beans, the musical fruit ...
@molly0xfff I read it afterthought fact and it was some fine live-tooting, thank you!
@molly0xfff
I tend to live-toot more after a big meal.

Awesome!

I, personally, dig the idea of sending a “toot”.

But, then again, I’ve not gotten over the use of the word Fart here in Norway, my better half’s homeland. It pleases me to see it every time.

Toot away, world!

@molly0xfff Rudy Giuliani deserves to get the recognition for inventing live-tooting
@molly0xfff @davidgerard it’s the perfect irregular verb; I am extremely online, you follow current events, she live tooted the entire indictment.
@molly0xfff @davidgerard if you’re buying crypto, it makes no sense to leave your cryptocurrency and/or fiat money on the exchange.

@billclawson well it does, in that crypto is still in 2022 clunky brittle garbage that is all but unusable for humans.

Remember that ~100% of crypto holders got into it for the money and can't necessarily work computers, let alone understand how this bunch-of-wires lab bench prototype works.

I can't find it, but there was a straw poll on /r/bitcoin a few years ago that showed 90+% of users keeping their hodling on coinbase.
