@aaronpk How should #mastodon and other #fediverse apps support #oauth? Can we have a better experience than "enter your server URL here to follow"?

Same advice really, but the "enter your server URL to follow" is a slightly different (and more complicated) problem.

An explainer on what is going on with Silicon Valley Bank:

- In 2021 SVB saw a mass influx in deposits, which jumped from $61.76bn at the end of 2019 to $189.20bn at the end of 2021.

- As deposits grew, SVB could not grow their loan book fast enough to generate the yield they… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1633956163565002752

I wrote up some thoughts about how Bluesky can/should support OAuth, both for applications to access users' accounts, as well as allowing users to log in to their bsky.social account using their own website!

OAuth Support in Bluesky and AT Protocol

Bluesky, a new social media platform and AT Protocol, is unsurprisingly running up against the same challenges and limitations that Flickr, Twitter and many other social media platforms faced in the 2000s: passwords!

I really need to remember that virtual presentations suck way more energy out of me than in-person events do, and I really need to not schedule 4-hour long sessions on back to back days.

No.
To be clear: Not run an ad on a video, run your video as an ad, basically putting paid reach behind it the same way the creator can.
You'll sometimes see companies do this if a creator made a video about their product (sponsored or unsponsored) and they liked it.

This happened to me once, the PR agency I worked with ran my video as an ad without telling me. I'm also suspicious that they might not have told their client, and used it as a way to boost the views on my video to make them look good?

Context switches are absolutely brutal in identity. The amount of context I need to swap in and out from my brain for different subtopics is staggering.

Oh good it's not just me then

Quick reminder: When you get an email like this, what they are offering isn't an actual sponsorship. What they are really doing is giving you a $100 sign on bonus to promote the company as an affiliate in your videos. Bypass "integration requirements" by just signing up for the… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1633520568720048128

As a premiere user of 18 years i made the dreaded switch of learning resolve and haven’t been more happier. I know it’s annoying seeing everyone say stuff like this but it’s not BS. Couldn’t be happier

It’s the new Pimoronini 7” display, which was well priced too https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/inky-impression-7-3

I suppose it’s possible Musk just sticks with it interminably, burning through his own cash in a desperate attempt to rebuild his credibility? But I doubt it. What do you guys think?

Ah, the illegal fake review scheme that can cause them to lose their store. It would be a shame if they got reported...

lol yeah, the best part is the postcard says "for your safety, don't include this postcard in your photo in your review"

@aaronpk If it's a gift card that can be used to purchase a product from anyone (not just from the seller asking for the review), then that's different. However, they may have made a $200-300 profit on the $500 sale. Reinvesting part of the profit into reviews for a new-ish listing can create a competitive advantage that can pay off well over the longer term. Even if they break even or have a small loss, it can be an effective "loss leader" strategy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_leader

Amazon gift cards are basically cash. And yes I'm familiar with the concept of a loss leader
