@aaronpk uh it is made from purest green.

I did add a drop of green food coloring because it looked a bit muddy before 🙃

@aaronpk This is great advice but anyone who tried it for me would be sorely disappointed by the extreme lack of refund.

I have bad news, they just make up whatever numbers they want so that it comes out to getting a refund on your behalf 🙃

@gintoxicating rather than tying identities 1:1 to a feed (😿), ideally we'd have stable identities that can point to many feeds. If I want to start posting about power tools but my audience is here for my mosstodon content, it'd be nice to be able to expose that as a new feed *alongside* the existing one but also make it discoverable using my existing known identity. We have all the standards we need to do this, but implementations (stares in mastodon) are pretty dumb about it.

This was literally my complaint about Twitter when it first launched! I ended up writing my own little social network in 2007 where each user had "channels", and you could follow an individual channel of content for a user. Too bad I only had like 20 users of it ever 🙃

The 0/0 I've been enjoying this past decade has proved optimal. Only problem is I'm geezerly AF.

I mean yeah that is the ideal state but I have a huge mortgage now 🙃

@aaronpk how loudly did they ask? Maybe it was an ostentatious flex?

hahaha weirdest flex. "Let's make the flight attendant hold up the entire boarding process so we can walk from the back of the plane to the first row" 🙃

If you can’t easily come up with an example, be open to the possibility that what you are thinking of… is not a thing.

This feels like a subtweet 🙃

Love playing the guessing game of "do I feel like crap because I have covid or because the air has been 150 AQI for the past five days" 🙃

I knew that's how I'd come across!

What I really want is a hedgehog and maybe a capybara, honestly.

I don't think the computers are good enough to do capybaras yet 🙃

Adobe Audition “Loudness Radar” under audio effects. Included free.

I just cancelled my Adobe subscription, good thing I got the hardware version of it then 🙃

Ugh, I’m doing my roof and gutters. What is the best way to get solar panels? I assume the “for free” people are a bit scammy?

Don't go the "for free" route. It's not actually a scam, but it's basically an agreement that you'll keep the panels for a fixed period of time like 15-20 years, which can really mess things up for future owners of the house. Ask me how I know 😬🙃

I typically post this so somebody can tell me I am an idiot, and these are the steps to fix it :)

🙃 wish I could help! I have a similar problem with AWS, but I also have $25/mo in credits, and my charges are well under that so I'm just continuing to ignore it until it becomes a problem

I’m aware. I set up concert staging with LED walls, tons of lights and line array speakers. I doubt most people are maxing out their basement circuits to make YouTube videos 😅

Absolutely, but @robertoblake is not most people 🙃

@aaronpk not sure if you meant "web view" as in embedded web view inside a native app - but if so that is not technically more secure. Launching a system browser prevents the calling app from keylogging in that web page.

I know you know me from a different context, but this is literally what I spend most of my time talking about 🙃 I have like a book and video course all about it 😉

Has anyone tried a password auth system that standardizes on some front-end hashing strategy, so that the API never sees/touches the plain text version of the password?

It's one of the oldest tricks in the books 🙃

For sure; it just requires specific functionality on the provider's side. With webfinger, we always imagined that you could enable "portability" by setting a redirect or a pointer, again provider-dependent.

in a way, email already is portable. My email address is on my domain, parecki.com, but it’s actually a Gmail account under the hood. If i want to move that to another provider, I can, and I don’t need to tell anyone a new email address. This is of course thanks to DNS 🙃
