    Super nice to have a functional bike again! I should really stop running over so much glass.

    Ok did everyone at #SonyCameraCamp have to sign a thing that says they have to tweet about the AI features of the new 📸 ZV-E1?

    I've counted at least half a dozen tweets in my timeline that mention how good the AI is without describing what it actually does.

    I've always thought I present pretty clearly as cisgender male, but this flight attendant just told me "no ma'am" when I asked if they had any sparkling wine on board 🤷‍♂️

    Well that's a sentence I never thought could exist.

    "A request for comment from Twitter’s press office was met with an automated reply containing a poo emoji, a new policy announced by Musk this month."

    Feature request for all calendar apps:

    Let me temporarily switch my calendar into a different timezone so I can better plan events in my home timezone when I am traveling.

    This is why I was using a paper planner in 2019.

    Every time i use my Windows computer I feel like I'm stuck under water and every time i press a button some other button gets pressed instead.

    I'm sure it's fine if you're used to it, but wow I just feel incompetent trying to use it.

    🤯 TIL MySQL is aware of daylight savings time, and considers any times between 2am-3am when the clocks skip forward an invalid date!

    In one session, it might throw an error, and in another session, it might store 3:00am instead of 2:05! 🤯

    I wrote up some thoughts about how Bluesky can/should support OAuth, both for applications to access users' accounts, as well as allowing users to log in to their bsky.social account using their own website!

    I really need to remember that virtual presentations suck way more energy out of me than in-person events do, and I really need to not schedule 4-hour long sessions on back to back days.

    It's absolutely wild to me that companies will mail me a postcard a few weeks after an Amazon purchase and offer a $150 gift card to leave a review! Is that really profitable? Are they actually going to make back $150 because of my one review?

    I'm glad to see that BlueSky supports custom domains! I have zero interest in sitting on a username in the bluesky namespace. Setting it up was roughly the same as pointing your own domain to a hosting provider, and a lot easier than Mastodon/ActivityPub!

    Whoever saw these trucks and was like "hey, the FAA rule that prohibits flying drones over people doesn't apply to people inside stationary vehicles" and then flew a drone down the highway deserves a raise https://twitter.com/kgwnews/status/1629221057558376448

    I'm a big fan of using more secure two-factor authentication methods like a security key or TouchID, but I will admit I never expected charging people to use SMS would be a viable strategy to get them off it 😅 https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/product/2023/an-update-on-two-factor-authentication-using-sms-on-twitter

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.
