    Won’t be surprised to see it. Societal trust for technology feels dwindling. Software runs the world. Those without that knowledge appear intimidated. What entity has the highest vested interest in keeping people calm? Oh, the regulations are coming.

    @aaronpk It’s actually a really interesting hybridg eng/AI approach: they build an ML model from past Zoom interactions to create a simulacrum of each user which speaks on their behalf. What you’re hearing is just a generative model of the person you’re “talking” to saying what they’d be likely to say in real life; same on their end. It’s *incredibly* bandwidth-efficient. The protocol just sends a tiny presence packet with your user ID once per second to keep your avatar talking.

    @aaronpk Last time I took a call on a plane, the flight attendant interrupted me and told me I was violating FAA regulations and subject to a $25,000 fine if I didn't hang up immediately.

    Aaron Parecki
    hah wait what. My phone was still in airplane mode, no cellular service at all. Or is this specifically about VOIP too?

    Spent the afternoon at the city permit office researching building codes and land use review. There's a lot of parallels between building codes and software specs.

    Can you imagine if there was a similar permitting process for building websites and apps?

    @aaronpk Yes, VOIP calls. I actually ignored her at first, and she came back shaking with rage and waving a printed FAA page in her hand and told me she would tell the captain I was ignoring her instructions if I didn't stop. I stopped.

    @ablaze @aaronpk Did you by any chance grab the pamphlet/page from her? I'm not aware of an actual VoIP ban by FAA, but flight attendants sometimes confuse it with regular cell calls. Although, many carriers block VoIP calls via their in-flight WiFi, due to noise complaints, etc, as well as bandwidth concerns. Some technologies work around that, but if VoIP is "blocked" (as far as they're concerned) and you're on a call, you're more likely to be mistaken for doing a cell call.

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah I'm curious about this too. I couldn't find anything while googling (on the plane). I'll probably look a bit more tonight.

    @ablaze @aaronpk Ah ok, that makes sense. I did some research on it couple of years back, and FAA always deferred to individual airlines to make the call on that. The airline has the authority to disallow calls, but it's not an FAA regulation. Some in-flight companies (like GoGo) explicitly forbids VoIP calls in their ToCs (at least used to) that you agree to when you join their network.

    Aaron Parecki
    I'm surprised they don't just block Zoom since it's one of the biggest ones. They do block YouTube.

    I should work on properly ingesting Twitter links so I can fully own my likes, reshares and replies on that site. For now, I need to look into a “silo-based translator” to the IndieWeb.

    Aaron Parecki
    I stopped favoriting things directly on Twitter a long time ago! I always favorite stuff because either it shows up in my reader and it's just one click, or on the off chance I do click on a tweet, my browser bookmarklet also gives me one click access to favorite something. Way easier than trying to pull my Twitter favs back from their site.

    tbh it sounds like the simplest thing is to have each app generate its own long random string and use that as basically the key for writing and reading data. And this coming from someone who is clearly a fan of OAuth.
