I used to think OAuth was just another way for companies to get my information. But now I see it's so much more.

We’re just two and a half months away from the third year of 2020

We're also happy to host it -- you just need the business side of things and to manage a web dashboard. It would be a bit of a beta experience to start, but we're excited about the vision. 🔭

Today I want to give a shoutout to my @oktadev teammate, @aaronpk!

Aaron made it so we can log in to https://oktadev.events from our Okta dashboard, as well as add/update new events using calendar invites. It's sooo slick!

👏👏👏

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
