I can't believe I had to type my password into that site. It's like they want to get hacked or something.

NFTs made me realize just how many people are underpaid for creative work

there’s no mouse on an apple push notification… what boomer made this

Sarcasm doesn't really translate well through tweets.

I just read a comment that said "cryptocurrency is astrology for men" and-

where is the lie?

Listen, if you’re a brand working with a creator, give the creator some flexibility.

If you’re paying a creator to produce content or art for you, you’re choosing them specifically for a reason. Trust in them, give them at least some freedom.

Otherwise, what’s the point???

"It's just a photo, Number One... Data, can't we just copy the image?"
"We can, sir, but what the Ferengi are attempting to trade is the ownership of the original artwork"
"... but we have the image already, right?"

That was my actually my favorite episode of DS9 when Quark was endangering everyone by cutting power from life support systems to run his secret Quarkcoin mining operation.

NFTs sound like something the Ferengi would make up on Star Trek and it would be the plot of an episode to get them to cut that shit out

Starting today, we're experimenting on Chrome stable with a Following feature. You can choose websites to follow, and their RSS updates will appear on Chrome's new tab page. We've been working on this for a while & I'm super excited to hear what people think 👇

I miss being a kid afraid that Y2K will mess everything up. 💻🔥

Instead I'm over here in my 30s worried that climate change will destroy the planet and genuinely concerned if I'll ever actually get to use my 401k because the earth will be destroyed. 🌍🔥

everyone talks about how instagram is bad for mental health but what about jira??

The first time I tried to use OAuth I had to ask my friend for help. It was like trying to find the right key for a lock, except instead of a lock it was an API and instead of keys it was tokens.

Ah that's indeed a reasonable distinction. Still seems like solvable? Like Signal that uses a master identifier and then ephemeral (yet stable) ones?

Always in awe of my ADHD's consistent ability to terrify me of tasks. Then, like clockwork, once I do finally complete the task I feel awful because of how easy it was to complete after all 🙃😭⚰️🪦💀

The OAuth happy hour with @aaronpk starts in 4 minutes! Who knows, we might even get to chat about the Explicit Flow :P

The whole blockchain thing reminds me of the early fervor over NoSQL.

Except with orders of magnitude more grifting, and the destruction of a forest each time a DB gets updated.

Look who is back in the family: @aaronpk ! With a great talk about #OAuth. Say hello to Aaron and see the details about him and his talk here: https://beyondtellerrand.com/events/dusseldorf-2021/speakers/aaron-parecki
