    @aaronpk From a dev standpoint it's just good practice, right? Distributing your consumer secret keys to so many devices so your team never misplaces it, right?....

    It's like when I share my ssh private key in my public github repo for backup purposes along with a list of all servers it can access. (/sarcasm)

    but for reals tho, the best way to make sure you have a backup of your data is to publish it as widely as possible. There are some photos from 15+ year old projects that I wish I had published more widely because somehow I've lost track of them over the years.

    Apple TV has a clear advantage over Netflix since you know no one’s sharing their iCloud password with their family members

    This Twitter API thing really makes me wonder if a walled garden company can ever be compatible with the open web. It is absolutely scandalous they’re shutting off a 15 year old free API

    I've given many talks about how mobile apps can't be deployed with a secret, and using Twitter's 2013 "hacks" as an example. I'm just going to leave this completely unrelated string of random characters here for no particular reason

    You mean this might be a choice that hurts people inclined to follow the rules while having minimal impact on malicious actors?

    @aaronpk Oh lord are they charging for their *oauth* APIs too? That would be... incredibly short-sighted

    Aaron Parecki
    who knows at this point. We'll see next week, but I wouldn't guarantee any particular behavior at this point

    @aaronpk FWIW, OAuth appears to be treated separately from APIv1.1 and APIv2. it’s feasible that it will keep working for free. but it’s anybody’s guess at this point https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/api-reference-index

    Aaron Parecki
    It's true, they are slightly different, but you still have to go through the developer portal to register an app for "log in with"

    Great opportunity for sites and services to start looking at replacing consumer federation with #passkeys!

    PSA: If you use Twitter to sign in to stuff, you should double check you have another way to get in to those accounts asap. With Twitter charging ??? for API access next week, you have no way of knowing whether the apps you use are going to pay that.

    Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead 🧵

    (3) However, one week’s notice and no indication of pricing shows Twitter is chaotic and unreliable. No one’s going to build a business on that;
    (4) So you’re basically just shutting down the API and causing massive damage to Twitter in the most labour intensive way possible.

    Short version:
    (1) Developers add value to Twitter by helping people create content. They add value to the core service;
    (2) Having said that, it is not unreasonable to want to find a way to charge those developers who extract more value than they contribute;

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.
