I am currently... 35 days behind. Oof.

Jetblue is rolling out a procedure where they identify customers not by their boarding pass or passport, but by facial recognition provided by the Department of Homeland Security https://twitter.com/mackenzief/status/1118509708673998848 http://mediaroom.jetblue.com/investor-relations/press-releases/2018/11-15-2018-184045420

Makes me feel sick to my stomach. I should stop flying places.

@aaronpk > that feeling when when

I regret to inform you that you appear to be showing symptoms of RAS Syndrome.

@aaronpk read the summary, probably not for me. However, hats off for clearly starting the audience. Many authors, businesses, schools, etc. would be much better off doing so. I'm basically the opposite of the audience, except I haven't put up the picket fence yet.

@aaronpk how was the book?

An unexpected quiet afternoon means time to work on the ol’ website.

Never memorise the characters that comprise your password as this could be picked up by a nearby device with Facebook thought-to-text activated

Instead, focus on using muscle memory alone to hit the correct keys in the correct order

@aaronpk No worries, it's obviously worded just as a reminder. Hope you enjoyed it here in Prague!

@aaronpk That's the local team reminding you that you might get fined for leaving the scooter outside the green zone. Seems like you did that when you were in Prague? :)

@aaronpk So, my logic for manually linking it would be that for, e.g. cross posting to micro.blog, autolinking the plain-text “@aaronpk” might not wind up referencing the user you intended. Forcing a hyperlink to the original instagram user is more reliable...

@aaronpk Oh, and I guess if we're going for wishlist-y things... further processing of the reposted text. Making it link usernames in the posts? Maybe strip the #tags?

@aaronpk There's probably a notable set of people who're switching from manually-mirroring to automation, and that's the crowd who're going to be annoyed by suddenly having 15 duplicate posts. (It me.)

@aaronpk @manton Oh! I didn’t realize it was only the first page of new photos; It freaked me out so much When it began posting of previous photos that I just turned it off. I really only want it to start posting photos after I connect it, if that makes sense.

@aaronpk @jw I could see wanting to have a more explicit "post all of these" button, so the default is just new photos. We added batch import from Instagram archives in Micro.blog for macOS, but that's not available to non-Mac users, so full import from OwnYourGram would be really useful too.
