What i'm hearing is that information is not reliable simply because it is on a blockchain, which would seem to be a rather large problem for the entire concept

I mean it's not funny that the average user is getting scammed like that, but it is funny that the people running the scam got scammed themselves

Kudos to @aaronpk on the livestream Sunday about Youtube's "broken" copyright/ownership claim process. Well worth the watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLK2re0LfrQ

OAuth? Oh, yeah! Does that sound familiar? No, it’s not a movie from the late ‘80s. OAuth is a carrier-free telecommunications service that enables users to access Home Phone, Mobile Phone and VoIP services anywhere in the US without additional charges.

Decentralization already exists on the web, it’s called “making an HTML page and putting stuff on it”. All this new shit isn’t gonna make it any easier, it’ll all be just as centralized and commodified and funded by awful venture capitalists.

This morning in front of my house, a driver rammed their sedan into the front of a parked SUV with enough force to push the SUV partway onto the car parked behind it.

@PBOTinfo, this is a Neighborhood Greenway. When are you going to make it so drivers CANNOT drive like this?

"Everyone who confuses correlation with causation eventually ends up dead."

Favorite new way to teach this, hands down.

Really focused making it easier for users to find livestreams on @YouTube so we're rolling out the Live rings feature on mobile! @YouTubeCreators streaming live will now have a ring around the channel avatar & clicking on the avatar will take you directly to the livestream.

Anyone else find themselves deliberately uninstalling iPhone apps that hijack link clicks to the service's website and replace them with a "native" experience that doesn't have as many useful features?

The number of tweet replies it takes for someone to post a link to https://youtu.be/YQ_xWvX1n9g is the new Kevin Bacon number.

lol the tech underlying all of this is so bad on like every level (concept, architecture, implementation, policy and enforcement, operations)

Yeah this country sucks and all, but that isn't right. The Mercator map projection was created in Europe in the 1550s. And like other people have pointed out, it has to do with trying to plot a globe onto a rectangular piece of paper. Things closer to the poles are distorted more

After a couple of people told me the Alaska in a map graphic I did needed to be smaller to be in proportion to the rest of the states, I had to tell them the unsettling truth: Alaska is Too Big

The messaging around NFT's and Web3 'giving the power back to the people and to artists' is the same as the early days of streaming and the gig economy and we all know how that went.

Face ID for parents really means you can be relaxing in a chair and all of a sudden an 8year old hand appears with your phone, waving it across your face

1. This is a good idea.
2. This wouldn't be so needed in a healthy community.
3. I sure hope Twitter is collecting data on who keeps starting threads people don't want to be in and then going upstream to moderate those people.
