Oh my—gonna be thinking about this Getting started section of @rem’s http://webmention.app for awhile. What a great way to let people tell you what they’re comfortable with in your documentation:

This is a first… someone strapped the airplane’s front wheel to the tug before people got on; supposed to happen after. Now the strap is too tight. They have to unload half the plane to take the weight off and do it again 😂😂

How predictable is it gonna be if my next pocket camera is a Lumix LX10?

I have been a full-time "internet creator" with *no side jobs* for 7 months now and it's terrifying and exhilarating I keep waiting for someone to tell me it's illegal.

The year is 5019. Humans, as we know them, are long gone. The Earth is inhabited chiefly by advanced, sapient machines.

For legacy reasons, everyone's name starts with "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible;".

People sometimes suggest I should calm down about web performance because the web feels fine on *their* phone.

@DasSurma and I pulled a little data to try to visualise why that might be both true and not particularly relevant:

Last point about the graphs: included an Android Go device ( Nokia 2) because that spec is prevalent for first-time internet users. Gap between "what I get when I trade in my phone every 2 years" and the true low-end is now a gaping chasm, and even 5 years ago, that wasn't true.

A few things I learned:
1) Apple is using OAuth 2.0 and OIDC, same as others
2) Some app makers *really* don't like the mandatory element of Sign In
3) Apple changed its guideline language around placement of Sign In button in the time I reported this https://www.wired.com/story/sign-in-with-apple-mixed-reactions/

We're going to Portland for Indie Web Summit. It's a gathering with a simple mantra: Own Your Own Content. Get a domain, build a website, and use social media as a promotional tool, not as an all-consuming devourer of your time and talent. Learn more here: https://indieweb.org/2019

I'm in London. I made it! The only downside? I now realize how dumb I sound with a California accent. Everyone around me sounds sooooo smart.

So, people are arguing again about whether or not writing CSS and HTML is “programming”, instead of spending this precious time actually learning how to write these two languages properly and accessibly?

Right.

I really don’t miss Twitter at all.

Can't wait for a cryptocurrency with the ethics of Uber, the censorship resistance of Paypal, and the centralization of Visa, all tied together under the proven privacy of Facebook.

it was tragic, he wrote the database schemas for friendships, but he had no friends himself. he had 55 billion dollars instead

Nextdoor is a great social media network that helps you learn that the toxic, broken, bigoted world of global social media is *also* replicated at the *local* level, right in your own neighborhood! Three cheers for technology, folks.

Like three of my friends have their money Together. I certainly don't, and maybe if you think you could also use a cheerful cat-filled assist, peep my friend @anomalily's personal finance workbook! The KS ends tomorrow! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/anomalily/a-cats-guide-to-money-illustrated-purrsonal-finance-book

This afternoon I discovered the speakeasy inside @okta HQ. 🍺👌
