I was the first person to hate Twitter, because I was a new arrival to the US and had no credit rating and the only cell phone I could get charged 10¢/SMS to receive, 25¢ to send, so I estimated that the new thing we were building would cost me ~$5000/year to use.

The XOXO opening party proves, once again, that this event has a remarkably low level of dingalings. There's probably one or two out there, but I didn't meet them tonight.

Back after some pizza, it's @JamieTanna talking #indieWeb - owning your own data #PHPMiNDS

I really like this https://dev.to/gajus/my-favorite-css-hack-32g3

Something that I’m pretty proud of is we’re slowly seeing the number of female viewers rise on the channel.

I work really hard to make my content as inclusive as possible and I like to see that more are stopping by to watch. 👍

When Google puts 4 paid ads ahead of the first organic result for your own brand name, you’re forced to pay up if you want to be found. It’s a shakedown. It’s ransom. But at least we can have fun with it. Search for Basecamp and you may see this attached ad.

I wouldn't say that I hope the person who invented the OAuth workflow goes to hell... I just hope they end up in a sort of poorly documented afterlife that's really hard to get into and you have to remember to refresh your access token every 24 hours or you end up in purgatory.

I spotted this one the other day and it's absolutely my specific brand of bullshit I love it.

Can webmention.io really be called webmention.io if it only serves as an input, not output for webmentions?

Gall's Law:

"A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system."

set up @aaronpk 's Compass as an experiment on my iphone for location tracking & visualization while in portland thanks to the help of @emorydunn

I saw this on Reddit and it really spoke to me. Just posting this in case it speaks to you too. ♥️ Love, Hannah

I really was missing IndieWeb. It's so good I was actually able to deploy my stuff, since it was in development for almost half a year now.

Hello IndieWeb. I'm here with a new website. It's really basic, but based on a new improved version of my engine and should be blazing fast! I also had a hardware upgrade - now I'm using an old notebook instead of a Raspberry Pi. The RPi itself is ok, just needs a software upgrade.

Accounts tweeting garbage was one of the primary threat models, of course, but I'll give you that we didn't anticipate Jack tweeting hate speech to many millions of people. 😢

Ahem. ;-) I spent a lot of time talking about how insecure SMS was (and mobile networks in general).

What I like about IndieWeb is it gives a bunch of small, relatively-easy-to-implement building blocks that provide parts of that, but there's still a lot that needs to happen to make it all work nicely together and provide a UX that's sensible.

Cloud hopper?
