An interesting proposal to allow websites to detect certain SMS messages. The UX implications are fascinating.

If you send me a business email that ends with "Lets hop on a call" you are trying to waste my time twice.

Seeing cool stuff from a bike, Portland. On the way to the #indieweb #xoxofest meetup but running late.

We’re temporarily turning off the ability to Tweet via SMS, or text message, to protect people’s accounts.

End of an era. Twitter was sms first and was always awesome. I remember it was originally some pirated windows software plugged in to a feature phone via USB and a prepaid T-Mobile phone when it launched. Nobody wanted to give us a shortcode for such a weird non-marketing service

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?
