    I’m boldly going where I haven’t gone before, which is right here at this site. Apparently this is a “toot.” I would appreciate a follow!

    Important note: you should NEVER do this to trailing slashes that exist in the path itself!

    https://simonwillison.net/tags and https://simonwillison.net/tags/ are not technically the same URL

    But... https://simonwillison.net/ and https://simonwillison.net ARE the same

    And if you've decided not to display the https:// protocol, I think it looks prettier if you don't show the trailing slash either

    (This is possibly the least important aesthetic preference anyone has ever expressed)

    Thank you for pointing this out! This is always one of the first things I do when displaying URLs. It's the little things that matter!

    I still really love visiting an Owncast stream (I'm hanging out at @streaming right now) and seeing people follow, like and share the stream on the #Fediverse.

    Wouldn't it be great if the YouTube algorithm could just tell us what to do?

    Well, it can't.

    But the person that built it can.

    That person is Todd (and he shares incredibly useful stuff on Twitter).

    Here's 10 things he's shared that every YouTuber needs to know:

    The model where everyone gets a new identity for every community they join (1) largely defeats the purpose of federation (2) does not scale as people have *many* communities of interest and (3) doesn't map to our natural conception of identity.

    I *hope* it's fixable. May take some convincing of Eugen, which seems hard from this vantage point.

    Aaron Parecki
    Thank you! I've been saying this forever.

    I also agree that the instance timeline is a useful way for a community to come together, but I think that can be accomplished differently while everyone can still have their primary identity in one place.

    And of course, someone should also be able to have multiple separate identities if they want to!

    Oh yes, and 3: Elon has very obviously and demonstrably screwed up a lot in the last fortnight. I have never done a layoff, but I also know you should not lay people off and then the next day say ‘sorry, we shouldn’t have fired you, can you come back please?’ 🤷🏻‍♂️

    OK https://push-notifications-demo.netlify.app worked for me in Safari 16.1 on macOS Ventura 13.0!

    It still tells me that push notifications aren't supported in Mobile Safari on iOS 16.1 though.

    As an engineer at Twitter, I can confirm that Elon Musk doesn’t understand anything about our website, or coding in general. Not gonna lie, we laugh REALLY hard about it behind his back. We’ve been calling him “the CEO,” but it stands for Code Efficiency 0.

    This is your scheduled periodic reminder, for no particular reason, that now is a good time to review the third party OAuth apps that have access to your Twitter account, and remove any that you don't recognize or haven't used in a while.

    I think Twitter is broken — pretty sure most of these tweets I’m seeing are from several years ago.

    Has your new CEO deleted all your unit tests for being "dead code we never use in production"? Is he getting his advice from randos on social media? Did he fire you for writing too much code and also not enough code? Would you rather be working at Apple? DM me—maybe I can help!

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.
