The #IETF114 #oauth WG meeting is going to be a tour de force.
I think I’ll have to rap thru the deck to make it in 10 - perhaps I can convince @__b_c to beatbox 😛

✅ It has decentralization: you can self-host
✅ It has interoperability: you get a JPEG on your hard drive
✅ It has payments: your grandma can use them

It is web3 and I am now web3

Here’s an idea, @BIKETOWNpdx add a feature so I can tell you where/when I was when I decided NOT to take a bike because of poor bike supply.

Or just look at the analytics of when I check the app and don’t rent a bike within an hour.

I bet you already do this.

The American tech sector is probably set back a decade because of the weird economic distortions of crypto. How many next Googles or mRNA vaccines never got funded because the money went to fund a techno-obscurantist Ponzi scheme for some VC bros to dump on the public instead.

Heading out to Philadelphia for my first in-person #ietf session - #ietf114! Will be working on advancing the #SCIM 2.0 provisioning standard. Even if you can't attend in person, you can sign up and attend virtually! Come contribute to the future of the standard!

buying/selling/trading Amazon accounts is big business in China.

it almost feels like the all-caps gibberish names are a troll from these sellers about how easy it is to spin up fake accounts.

page 1 for "spatula" has a row of offers from BANKKY, DESLON, ORIGRACE, and TACGEA 😆

I can’t wait for something better than OIDC to be introduced.

As a woman, I just hope one day I have as many rights as a gun does.

Web3? We can't even IPv6.

I thought making maps of GPS/GNSS interference might turn out boring. But 3 days ago suddenly the Baltic (Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Kaliningrad) started having some of the most significant interference on the planet, after weeks of nothing unusual. Why now?

when lawyers do something zany it's always a tossup between "they have no idea what they're doing" and "they know they've got nothing but they're hoping a scary letter on their letterhead will scare you into doing what they want for literally no reason"

“Nobody wants to work anymore” headlines generated by “disgusted business men” from 1894 - 2022 as people do not want to work for poverty wages.

I love cars!! They make our cities so accessible!

I wonder what would happen if someone released a DALL-E style AI for making music, trained on existing commercial recordings?

The legal response from the RIAA would be a very interesting thing to observe!

bi women with straight boyfriends are like "yeah I'm totally queer" and I'm like damn right you are, your partner doesn't define your orientation and being with a man is just part of the bisexual experience for many

The identity conferences density in Q2 is ridiculous- @secworkshop, @RSAConference, #EIC2022, @Identiverse - we owe you an update, bit time!
