"Drink your own wine" instead of "eat your own dogfood". Maybe a better metaphor because people actually want to drink wine? But on the other hand even mediocre wine is still wine. #Identiverse

This has been a long ongoing discussion for us... so far best we've landed on is "eat what you cook" https://indieweb.org/selfdogfood#Brainstorming

My POV: We are slowly uncovering the truth about identity: No human ever asked to be issued one (or many). It’s infrastructure on the way to achieving other aims. We should be cautious about thinking we’ve hit bottom in our analysis of human-org relationships yet. #Identiverse

Did you know:

You aren’t required to use the Markdown syntax for images? That weird ![](myimage.png) thing.

Use HTML instead. It works great, is more extensible (srcset, class, etc), and is more readable:

Reminded that the Microsoft ebook store closes next week. The DRM'd books will stop working.

I cannot believe that sentence.

"The books will stop working."

I keep saying it and it sounds worse each time.

Recently, I spoke at a local meetup about my experience breaking into tech and things I did, that people can do too. The fact that I said contributing to OSS can be a great thing to do, I got flagged for breaking CoC because it was a "microagression." I am absolutely appalled.

This makes me very mad 😡 This has the markings of a professional troll trying to push you out. Don't let them stop you. 💛

Angry face! This is sexism and trolling in its most sly and insidious state. Whoever did this needs some public shame. You did nothing wrong! Keep contributing (to open source projects that aren't assholes !)!

App Update: Bug fixes and improvements!

Actual: We boosted ads and popup videos. Popup videos now play at maximum volume regardless of app preferences or device settings. Maximum volume popup videos +12 when location services detect app used in church, library, or public toilet.

"Apple taking the lead here will be most impactful if it can push others to do the same..."

This is why we like Apple's push towards privacy. If it succeeds (likely), competition will push privacy further. And that's good for us.

Lovely #indieweb people! What do you think of "/archive/bookmarks/", "/archive/bookmarks/2019/", "/archive/2019/03/bookmarks/" vs "/bookmarks/archive/", "/bookmarks/archive/2019/". "/bookmarks/archive/2019/03"?
Where "bookmarks" could be any typical IndieWeb content type.

I used to have the content type as the first part of my URLs and came to entirely regret it.

When you give a talk that's about finding your place in tech, and you are immediately reminded why you shouldn't give talks and shouldn't help community. Because it's all exhausting. You can't win.

That's awful! You have a great talk last night! 🍩💛 I'm looking forward to publishing the video of it too

Dark Patterns at Scale: Findings from a Crawl of 11K Shopping Websites

June 26th, 2019

1,841 instances of dark patterns on ecommerce sites, in the categories of sneaking, urgency, misdirection, social proof, scarcity, obstruction, and forced action. You can browse this overview, read the paper, or look at the raw data.

We conducted a large-scale study, analyzing ~53K product pages from ~11K shopping websites to characterize and quantify the prevalence of dark patterns.

This doesn't seem like a problem unique to the web. Plenty of these tricks are done at physical stores too!
