    @smith There are a few APIs. We're considering it! But also want to make sure any support for Mastodon stays true to what Micro.blog is about. Probably won't rush into anything until the dust settles.

    Twitter is like the 9-5 job you fucking hate.
    Mastodon is like coming home, wrapping yourself up all nice and cozy in tinfoil and then getting in the microwave and blowing yourself up tae fuck

    We generally think about language as a THING: letters, sounds, signs. But little bits of silence or invisibility are found surprisingly often in language.

    Episode 23 of Lingthusiasm, the podcast that's enthusiastic about linguistics, is a tour through the various kinds of linguistic nothings 🎧💚🕳️

    The lack of the <base> element in the parsed result, as well as the fact that some parsers already do this, make me lean towards adding it to the spec as well.

    The fediverse (and any network) is fragile until there are:
    - multiple implementations
    - using different raw materials
    - controlled by diverse people
    - on multiple continents

    Went to the Apple store to check out iPads and see it I want one. I think they are too big for me. If I’m going to carry one around, I might as well take my laptop instead because it’s not that much more bulk or weight. I’ll get an iPad mini if they update it.

    this is a brainlet post, but also a wise one. fediverse shouldn't be held back by these kinds of research problems. i don't think its categorically impossible to build usable WoT or cryptographic social networks, but you actually don't need these things to make fedi work and/or succeed.

    which is the real problem with w3c people trying to write protocols like AP. sometimes a less galaxy brain solution is the right one because its more important to have practically useful tools than the perfectly distributed whatever that people are daydreaming about

    everytime people talk about cryptographic petnames I just go back in time to the Semantic IRC, PSYC, SecuShare crowd

    the one key thing that crowd always misses is that we are building this stuff for normal people to use. normal people don't care about any of this. they get user@domain and user.domain.tld subdomains.

    people don't want to tell the difference between

    - Alyssa (0x12345678)
    - Alyssa (0x87654321)

    and they aren't going to go to the trouble to build a trust graph

    @aaronpk it was. IRCv3.2 METADATA started as resistance to that crowd.

    they had some good ideas. at the least, SecuShare is worth looking at, as it's the latest iteration of their ideas

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
