So #Identiverse is using an AI tool to summarize all the conference talks and it works about as terribly as you'd imagine.

Nowhere in my talk did I say "OAuth 3.0", nor did I say anything about global privacy regulation compliance. It straight up hallucinated quotes from me. 🤦‍♂️

Well this is moving quickly! You can now spin up FedCM on your own website and log in to https://webmention.io thanks to this open source project from Sam Goto! This is so much better than having to type out your website or even email address when logging in! Full instructions here:

Pro tip: if you file taxes in the US, go get yourself an IRS PIN so someone can't fraudulently file taxes using your SSN trying to get your tax refund deposited in their account. Ask me how I know.

My cat is theoretically not allowed on the counters, but this week she has learned how to gracefully jump onto the counter completely silently and I'm just so impressed that I can't bring myself to try to get her down

Happy don't-believe-anything-you-read-on-the-internet day!

Tho come to think of it, that's becoming increasingly true for the other 364 days of the year as well now.

Yes I do realize the irony of paying someone to add a tip jar to my iOS app. But I've been putting off submitting the update to the App Store because my attempt at a tip jar was unsuccessful, so maybe this will finally get it out the door.

Well this is a new one, my lip itches but it's still numb so I can't scratch it! I keep trying to scratch it but it feels like the itch is inside it somehow 😬

I'm starting to think the 5/2 weekday schedule isn't working for me, and I need to try 10/4 instead. It takes a few days to ramp back up to work brain, and by Friday I finally feel like I'm on a roll, only to lose all context again over the weekend.

I just used my Flipper Zero to read my cats' microchips 😮 Turns out the vet had them backwards in their file so I'm glad I was able to check!

Still blown away at how well my last video did, 54K views in a week, most of my videos have been averaging 2-5K views. Notably, I didn't do anything fancy with the production value either, once again proving that level of effort does not turn in to views.

a couple months ago I started locking the cats in the bathroom while I prepare their food, otherwise they'd climb on top of me and eat it all before I could serve it.

But now they've started locking themselves in the bathroom in order to manifest food...
