  The workaround that unmung.com has used is that if instead of loading twitter.com/aaronpk you load twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=aaronpk you get an mf1 h-card, proper rel=me and other xfn eg http://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fintent%2Fuser%3Fscreen_name%3Daaronpk #indieweb
  

  Like I said, there are many solutions to this, but I don't want to keep jumping through hoops. IndieLogin.com now uses the API to fetch the profile info which has a much lower chance of changing or going away.

  I’m confused by what you mean by white and gold? 🤔

  Right now indielogin.com is in beta, and I'm not opening it up for other developers to use that instance just yet. (It's open source so of course you could host your own.) Once I finish email login (and maybe PGP authentication) I'll launch it. However I am also considering requiring that people sign up as a developer in order to use it once it's live, since that will help avoid getting into the situation we're in with indieauth.com now. I could see about making an account for this wordpress plugin though.

  Interesting unintended consequence of federated social networks: when you post a link, thousands of different nodes all fetch it at the same time to render a link preview, which results in a small DDoS.

  I just stumbled across this internal email exchange at Microsoft during the antitrust lawsuits and I am amazed at Bill Gates' detailed email complaining about the usability of trying to download Windows MovieMaker (spoiler: he can't figure it out) https://blog.seattlepi.com/microsoft/files/library/2003Jangatesmoviemaker.pdf
  

  By popular demand, and since seattlepi.com is blocking EU visitors due to the GDPR, I've reproduced the PDF email thread as a web page so you can actually read it!

  I deleted all my tweets (I saved the archive) with a plan to let a bot take over, but the bot is still saying stuff like, "To win it doesn’t take ribs playing football (when the username and donuts play Netrunner)" so I'm a little worried about it giving it full control...

  All I want for WWDC is a Mac App Store that can remember basic facts about what state its UI is in.

  Although I work in the security industry, I really hate multi-factor authentication. So... tedius. Every single time I get prompted for a second factor I feel myself instinctively *sighing*. You?
  

  tbh being able to acknowledge the challenge from my iOS lock screen without launching an app is the only reason I'm not constantly annoyed by this. SMS codes or worse, having to launch the app, is always ugh

  I'm looking at you @Namecheap! I actually disabled the app 2fa and went back to SMS because the app experience was so horrible.
