    So in this interview for a place I decided to not join, they asked me how I would use my Twitter fans to help promote the company. I said “If you think these folk are fans and not my community of people I rely on, you are sadly mistaken about how the Internet works.”

    I created an NFT, but the image renders differently based on who's looking at it.

    For example, on OpenSea: https://opensea.io/assets/0x5c61afa47570ab2b562606fa578221305b12c307/1/

    ...vs on Rarible: https://rarible.com/token/0x5c61afa47570ab2b562606fa578221305b12c307:1?tab=details

    ...vs if you own it, it currently renders as a large 💩 emoji in your wallet. How this works:

    LOL a follow-up tweet: <<A hacker is someone who gains unauthorized access to information or content. This individual did not have permission to do what they did. They had no authorization to convert and decode the code.>> Reading plain text ain’t “decoding”,

    the followup tweets are the best because they just keep getting stupider and digging that hole even further

    I know it's unethical. But I almost applaud people that do stuff like this...because...it shows the flaws in the system. Not knowing "computer stuff" in 2021 isn't cute anymore lol In reality, states and companies need to HIGHLY invest in good coders, cybersecurity staff, etc.

    It's not even unethical when it's using the appropriate channels to disclose a massive design flaw in their website. There's responsible ways to report problems like this. https://www.hackerone.com/vulnerability-management/what-responsible-disclosure-policy-and-why-you-need-one

    It's true, I don't have a one-button way to view source on this computer.

    So let me get this straight.

    1: you put SSNs in plaintext on a web page
    2: you get mad that someone clicked "view source"
    3: your actual Highway Patrol patrols the information superhighway?

    😂😂😂

    PSA: someone leaked the Linux kernel source. This software runs huge portions of Internet infrastructure. Please be careful with your data!

    Is there no 12-year-old around to explain to the governor of Missouri that HTML source code is viewable as plaintext in any browser by hitting the button marked “view source”

    Also: TIL that “information superhighway” crimes in MO are literally investigated by the highway patrol

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.
