YouTubers always be like, "Look how complicated my timeline is for my next video." And I'm always thinking, "You ever heard of a compound clip? That's just messy and inefficient, not impressive." How do y'all even find anything in those labyrinths?! 🤓💜🤣

So in this interview for a place I decided to not join, they asked me how I would use my Twitter fans to help promote the company. I said “If you think these folk are fans and not my community of people I rely on, you are sadly mistaken about how the Internet works.”

I created an NFT, but the image renders differently based on who's looking at it.

For example, on OpenSea: https://opensea.io/assets/0x5c61afa47570ab2b562606fa578221305b12c307/1/

...vs on Rarible: https://rarible.com/token/0x5c61afa47570ab2b562606fa578221305b12c307:1?tab=details

...vs if you own it, it currently renders as a large 💩 emoji in your wallet. How this works:

You wouldn’t View Source on a car, would you?

PSA: someone leaked the Linux kernel source. This software runs huge portions of Internet infrastructure. Please be careful with your data!

Is there no 12-year-old around to explain to the governor of Missouri that HTML source code is viewable as plaintext in any browser by hitting the button marked “view source”

Also: TIL that “information superhighway” crimes in MO are literally investigated by the highway patrol

Reading is not a crime.

Putting SSN numbers in HTML code should be.

Printers nowadays

TIL: The IndieWeb Community is largely based on principles https://indieweb.org/principles. I didn't know about them, but they resonated with me.
- make what you need
- use what you make
- document your stuff
- have fun
and other principles

So to then see this… craze? Spread to other niches and areas, especially ones I’m involved in, just feels like a threat.
I want to find what’s so exciting about NFTs but currently it just feels like a drug everyone’s on staring at a reality that doesn’t exist & that’s worrisome

When it comes to NFTs and art and the long-term viability of this “shift”, I cannot help but think about the motivations behind it.
People could ALWAYS buy/commission art. Most of these people didn’t. Why do they care now?
It always comes back to money or the gimmick, not the art

OAuth is like a library card. It lets you check out books without having to carry them home.

There might be a case for a "History of Web Design" course, where people learn about various developments since the mid 90s as a timeline. That would help anyone trying to figure out WTAF is going on in the space these days.

the original tweet wasn't me being nostalgic, it was about the fact that ad-driven apps are simpler and will therefore win. until that happens, creativity and expression will be captured by large, privacy-invading companies.

OAuth is like the guy at the door of the party you want to get in. If he likes you, he'll let you in. If not, then you're just stuck outside.
