    the media cycle shift toward crypto, web3, metaverse etc. increasingly feels like tech has architected a successful pivot to redirect attention on to the next thing, rather than dealing with what they've already built and broken

    A lot of companies use a standard sheet of paper to make sure people can’t steal things without permission. The same idea is behind the way the Internet gives permission to use websites. It’s called OAuth.

    There's enough for everyone to eat.

    Help each other out, support each others content/activations, help make connections to brands, etc.

    Hey, in case you weren’t already feeling old today, I just heard an intern say they loved Succession’s “new weekly drop model” and that it was a smart way to get people hooked.

    So there are allegations that Google repair techs log into email accounts and sift through photos, and we've learned that Tile's new owner routinely sells location data for its customers.

    but more notably... it's like we're excited that FINALLY, for the FIRST TIME*, we have replicated the scarcity and clumsiness of land, on the internet!! thank god!!

    if any of this were actually decentralized, there would be infinite land and you could spin up your own!!

    For the last time people, dystopian science fiction is dystopian, it's supposed to be a cautionary tale. It's not supposed to be a blueprint for your next startup. 🤦‍♂️ #subtweet

    Startups don’t just “run out of money.”

    They wait too long to address problems while they had money.

    Failure doesn’t usually happen “to” startups.

    Problems are rationalized until it’s too late. Too much money multiplies this problem.

    Dear world: It is perfectly possible to imagine a radically-decentralized Web and simultaneously disbelieve that basing it on blockchain is necessary or even desirable.

    But de facto, the term “Web3” now means “buy my cryptocurrency” and is thus polluted, probably beyond repair.

    “Well, I read this book about how the government secretly built a virus that takes over your brain when you look at a QR code, and makes you into a nonsense-babbling slave, and thought it was a logical extension of Facebook.”

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
