    I've been here 3 days and my @FitBit watch still hasn't figure out that I'm in a new time zone. What good is a watch if it can't tell you the time?? Also there's no way to manually set the timezone. And force syncing it hasn't helped either 🤨

    I once said Teslas should have a front camera (because that only makes sense being able to see under the front of the car) and they told me to use my eyes and that’s what a windshield is for (and also to go kill myself)

    @postmodern @jerry @postmodern @jerry I just gave it a quick glance so there’s likely more beneath the surface, but it looks like the W3C group that maintains ActivityPub has had sporadic activity over the last year. If you have time and ideas, most standards groups are usually pretty excited to get more volunteers.

    Aaron Parecki
    Officially, the W3C working group is shut down now. Unofficially, Mastodon itself has been driving most of the work lately and is the de-facto spec because everyone has to do whatever they build.

    In practice this means you only need to convince Mastodon to make changes and cross your fingers that the few other implementations will follow.

    Decided to write a small web app using vanilla JS, no frameworks, and only querySelector() & friends for DOM manipulation. Works surprisingly well! Why does it seem like everyone is over-engineering frontends these days?

    Well, fuck.
    The ONE TIME i don’t have a huge margin, “just” 3.5 hours, @delta goes ahead and delays my flight FIVE HOURS AND A HALF.
    Rebooked on United and even if they are on perfect schedule, I’ll be late to my meeting. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1589371940565045248

    So we can give you $8 for a verified checkmark that people will only see if they look it up at your website? I mean I'd rather give you $8 than this bird site but I could also just keep the $8

    Currently employed reliability engineer at Twitter explaining why the site is going to collapse soon.

    Says that it may work okay for now, but major news events like Queen Elizabeth’s death will knock it over like a house of cards.

    So close. There are actually about eight of those tiny little pieces holding everything up, and yes, all those teams got slashed.

    Twitter Blue is rolling out. Regardless of where you stand, I am urging you not to upload personal or financial data to an interface that was rushed into production this week by disgruntled engineers that will almost certainly be under some sort of attack on day zero.

    Agreed! The CMS plugins, eg WordPress's and Drupal's, don't. For even less technical people, we recommend http://micro.blog. Choosing and registering a domain is as easy as choosing a username on Twitter, DNS is automated and invisible (!), webmention support is built in.

    I'm back on the road, this time in London! I'm actually back at the IETF meeting where I'll be talking with the Remote ID folks again! (But those meetings haven't happened yet so don't ask me questions about it just yet! 🙈)

    Yeah, I love the spirit of WebMentions but the implementation is too high a bar for many (most?) site owners. But maybe a man investment in UX / tooling makes more sense than trying something net new.
    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah, frankly I don't think an alternative would end up being significantly simpler anyway once you start accounting for the things that are already established in the current ecosystem. There are tools and services now, and libraries, but we always need more!

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.
