I once again am asking mobile devs to not ship their API keys in their app bundles.

(No, compiling it into native code won’t make it any more secure. I could extract it from native code in 5 minutes, and that’s not an exaggeration.)

(No, putting it in react-native-env etc won’t… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1646889008612642817

If a luxury brand like Porsche realizes that buyers don't actually want complex and unsafe touchscreens, perhaps the rest of the car industry can too

Cool, now I have an excuse to buy a Porsche. Do they make e-bikes?

I started http://Waxy.org on this day in 2002, and as a special 21st birthday present, Twitter just suspended this account’s API access. So this bot is officially dead! You can follow Waxy on Mastodon at http://xoxo.zone/@waxy and via RSS at https://waxy.org/feed/ ✌️

I stop working halfway through a task.

Specifically, at a point where I know what the next few steps are, the path forward is clear. And, ideally, fun.

It makes it *super* easy to pick back up the next day. Builds momentum, and makes it easy to get back into flow.

I’m just going to say, if you’re a Star Trek fan who stopped watching #Picard, then get up from the meeting you’re currently in, apologize, say there’s a family emergency, go home, read a plot summary of the first two seasons and then watch S3 right now. It’s that damn fun.

NPR's analytics show that less than 2% of our traffic comes from Twitter. It's not a surprise to people who work in media, but even before the labeling saga, there was a pretty strong business case that the game wasn't worth the candle https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1646195092661891072

NPR: We're leaving Twitter because of Elon's decisions

Elon: My screen name is Harry Bōlz and my building says Titter on it, also the nonpaying blue checks go away on 4/20 now, haha

heard a weird sound. turned around. my supervisor is controlling a tiny RC forklift and placing a tiny pallet on a real pallet.

You're not stuck in traffic. You are traffic.

Today it is exactly 20 years that I have a blog.
My blog changed my life. It's how Redmond noticed me.
My unplanned move to the USA is what catapulted me into an entirely new socioeconomic bracket.
A momentous milestone, deserving a little reflection. 🧵

Your channel does the best when you double down on your proposition and your viewer avatar.

Your audience are streamers who want to go the next level.

I think there are more products you can review that are popular with streamers such as more of the @elgato products, also budget products similar to how @tldtoday covered tech products at different budgets.

I also think you should be covering the software steamers use the most.

Also I think 2x to 3x per week uploads or 100 videos a year…

Don’t make one off videos because you’re bored. If you want to do that make that for channel members only.

I also think maybe a once weekly Q&A stream to build community and to earn through super chats.

Poll time! A debate @aaronpk and I are having about kitchen cabinets in the most recent House Files. Which looks better?

Aaron this is fantastic - nice capture!

I’m not sure AI will every be able to understand when a joke is so bad it’s good…
