@aaronpk Is maybe iMessages falling back on SMS? If there is no support for MMS, images would be left behind, and only text making it through.

Nope I don't use a phone number with iMessage and all the bubbles are still blue.

Spending the evening refactoring out IndieAuth provider logic into my Elixir library. The ultimate “test” is getting it going in this headless fashion. Still thinking about how to pull this into Fortress.

@aaronpk I probably know even less :)

I guess I'm confused because I can upload photos to my website over https just fine but somehow photos in iMessage are blocked... 🤔

@aaronpk Message size?

I guess? I don't know enough about the protocol and where the encryption happens to understand how that works.

Ok legit question: How is @Gogo able to block sending and receiving photos in iMessage? I thought iMessage was end-to-end encrypted so it shouldn't have any visibility into what type of content is being sent over that channel.

No. They'd have to install the plugin, which demonstrates that the content actually resides elsewhere, outside of Twitter's control.

But then they literally have to visit Twitter to see it. I still think it's a cool idea and would help me stay in touch with more people but it still seems like only half a solution.

Another strategy would be to put half of your tweets on Twitter directly, then tweet out that you have another n tweets that people *could* have seen here, but they'll have to install the plugin.

There is definitely already a *lot* of my content that doesn't make it to Twitter and you have to follow my website to see it. I hadn't considered actually promoting this fact on my Twitter account tho! Not a bad idea!

But you're still using Twitter, which (a) helps them and (b) gives your tweeps no extra incentive to leave.

If you made your stuff available only using a browser plugin that added your microposts to people's feeds, it would help make your open protocols go viral.

Wouldn't making my content available via a browser plugin that shows it on twitter.com still do exactly the thing you're talking about, not giving my tweeps a reason to stop visiting Twitter?

Once hailed as unhackable, blockchains are now getting hacked - MIT Technology Review (www.technologyreview.com)

"Blockchains are particularly attractive to thieves because fraudulent transactions can’t be reversed as they often can be in the traditional financial system."

@aaronpk I'm guessing you might know better, with #OAuth is it possible to only get the info if the user is who they claim to be (but without a password) or is it also possible to get the info to for example which groups he/she is associated with (like admin, user, reader)?

Technically OAuth doesn't even give you user info, you're getting in to OpenID Connect/IndieAuth territory if you want that. As for groups and roles, those are super specific to the implementation so aren't really part of the standard at all. You can use OAuth as a framework to do this but you won't find much in the way of standards for it.
