    I'm not pointing any fingers, but I've seen a dramatic increase in bots and bot spam under my tweets over the past month.

    The fact that dudes go on a diet but they call it "biohacking" is so funny to me.

    Like if men started knitting they would call it "hyper threading" or "powertangling" or some shit

    This is amusing. Websites are struggling with the crawler requests from Fediverse instances when a new post propagates through the network. https://www.jwz.org/blog/2022/11/mastodon-stampede/

    Now that blogs and personal websites might see a revival, tons of people will have to learn the lessons us older website operators have learned during the first wave of social media when Twitter and Facebook got big.

    The main lesson being: don’t serve dynamic content directly without any cache layer.

    I'm going to be clear: I never saw - or imagined to see - a tech company *deliberately* creating such a toxic culture.

    This is coming from someone who worked at Uber during intense times. But we did not have random firings, a sense of zero job security, or comparable madness.

    Interesting comment on Hackernews regarding a possible scenario/long term risk should Mastodon threaten the corporate sphere of social media.

    I disagree. An algorithm is not intrinsically bad. As long as we understand that it represents the interests of whoever paid to have it constructed. I think an algorithm with human values that simply wanted to enrich experience is perfectly possible.

    I haven't seen one, probably because nobody has ever had a financial incentive to construct it.

    Mastodon would be a good place to try to make one.

    @aaronpk with regards to the YouTube Chat Overlay plugin. Is there any possible way to get greater customization?

    I was hoping to potentially mod the animation, style and graphics at a future date potentially.

    Like being able to use After Effects with some HTML, CSS, and JS
    Aaron Parecki
    I'm not planning on adding a UI to customize things that much, but the whole thing is open source and you can dig into the CSS yourself! There's instructions here for how to load your copy of it outside the Chrome store.

    I appreciate it! Also I can understand. Just thought to ask just in case.

    Also I'm still getting used to GitHub, so I often don't know what to look for. So I'll give it another look!

    I definitely wanna try developing more if possible!

    Thanks for everything!

    Just click the "Download Zip" and save it somewhere, then you can poke around the youtube.css file all you want!

    Has anyone successfully moved their YouTube account to another email? I know that you can have other accounts "manage" your account, but I really just want to get rid of the initial email account altogether.

    I've always read this isn't possible. Still true?
    Aaron Parecki
    I don't think google has their identity strategy coherent enough for even them to do it if you were able to call them on the phone and ask them to change your email 😅

    I'm calling @MerriamWebster out. "Gaslighting" was the 2016 word of the year, and trying to declare it the 2022 word of the year is, well, gaslighting. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-commentary/gaslighting-word-year-mirriam-webster-gaslit-1234637682/

    When mine got hacked couple years ago I wanted to change it. But I was worried about messing up Adsense and other things so I left it. All I did was change the email that brands contact me from instead.

    oh god was that years ago already?

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.
