You know, I was thinking that WordPress 5.6 could really use that “one more thing”...

Latest update with the typo fixed for those interested.

For example, we will use "this alternative will take O(# of users) to deploy because you have to chance their behavior" or "this one will take O(# of websites) to redeploy" or "this is O(# of IDPs) hard" to compare alternatives in a objective way, like we compare algorithms.

Every now and then I run into discussions that make an assumption that devices and mechanisms are the hard part. Most often, two sided markets are overlooked. E.g. web intents, payment handlers and the nascar flag problem in identity.

There is this device that we are using in WebID to compare alternatives that has been super useful. We don't have a name for it, but it is more or less like "Big-O" for Activation/Deployment Complexity.

Should we put Stories on Playdate? I don't think this question really means anything, but it was fun drawing 1-bit avatars. Stories, Stories, Stories!!

Here’s my take on @twitter Fleets. Buckle up, kids.

Yeah, client registration is a hold-over, and unnecessary for domain validation (same as letsencrypt). It's unfortunate OIDC didn't do a better job here. To be clear, I'm totally pro-IndieAuth, because the _protocol_ doesn't matter as long as it's secure. It's the UX / messaging.

Petition for Apple to bring back the SD card reader in all devices. That would be much appreciated by every single human being.

I’m glad to see this story come out, it’s been a long time coming. I’m sure there are way more stories than are printed here. I hope Xray FM survives this bullying behavior at the top. https://www.wweek.com/news/2020/11/18/staffers-at-xray-fm-allege-unprofessional-behavior-by-the-stations-executive-director-jefferson-smith/

Fine. I’ll flex. I was one of the first people to get engaged on Twitter.

So what they are doing is "boosting" a traditional video they have, maybe one with a paid sponsor, and if thr viewer watches 15 seconds it counts as a view on the orginal video. They are trying to artificially pump their views the legal way on YouTube.

Implementing IndieAuth for Datasette - inspired by a weekend spent at IndieWebCamp East Coast #indieweb https://simonwillison.net/2020/Nov/18/indieauth/

Ever found yourself wishing for the weekend to come ASAP, while _at the same time_ wishing for more days to finish important stuff?

I honestly don't know what's more personally infuriating, a monopoly that spits in your face by always adding terrible features, or a monopoly that spits in your face by never changing its product at all.

Oh no, not my calculator too!!!

I'm hitting pause on my weekly XRAY segment until these allegations are seriously addressed by XRAY leadership. I can't support a system that has kept hard-working, underpaid, passionate Portlanders (especially women) from achieving success in my industry. https://www.wweek.com/news/2020/11/18/staffers-at-xray-fm-allege-unprofessional-behavior-by-the-stations-executive-director-jefferson-smith/
