Literally no one:

Has there ever been a more divisive issue in the tech industry than crypto? Not sure I remember people quitting this eagerly over SOAP, or ad-tech, or creepy machine learning personalization

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In 12 years, @Kickstarter helped 65k musical artists raise $246M from their fans.

That's $3784 on average per project.

Here's how Web3 will 100x that amount: 🧵

Unpopular opinion: don't listen to what other people say is the best editing style for your videos, listen to your gut. Find an editing style that captures your most authentic self, not a style that "works on youtube", bc if it doesn't match with your vibe, it's not gonna work.

I'm not too familiar with it, but it seems like a convention on top of oauth for mapping subjects (in this case domains) back to the OIDC endpoint.

That would definitely work and would be straightforward to add support for in Fulcio.

Idea: An anonymous "vote to end meeting" button where if 50% of people press it, the meeting ends immediately.

There’s a special place in $hell for programmers who disable pasting in confirmation input fields.

Does it count if 1490 of those words are pointing out the philosophical and (some of) the technical problems with web3, before finally noting that IndieWeb deals with all of it? 🙂

I wonder how long will it take for people to realize that the only decentralized currency is a physical one 🤔

You can't shut down trade with cash, gold, etc..

I don't know what the big deal is. Statistically most trees will never catch fire. The mortality rate for trees that catch fire is less than 1%. This is a total non-issue.

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

1970 Jan 1 was the start of the history. cut us some slack

1970: We're going to build a global network that can withstand a nuclear war.

2021: AWS is down and my coffee machine doesn't work.

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.

Creators/Influencers...
There's enough for everyone to eat.

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

Again, read it out loud.

THERE'S ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE TO EAT.

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.

Feeling pretty okay right now about paying "the Apple tax"
