@aaronpk Hi Aaron, I read your article about Apple Sign In. I'm also having trouble getting the email address from the token, while the sample iOS app does receive the email. I tried a lot of different scopes, but they all result in the same data. Is Apple aware of these issues?

I haven't heard any updates yet, but keep an eye on their docs pages.

I was just giving an OpenID/Oauth history lesson to some interns, which meant I reference LiveJournal. “What’s LiveJournal?”

“Tumblr before Tumblr...”

May I help by providing all the questions that I ask myself after being new to and diving into the OpenId Connect subject?

Yes that would be great! Feel free to send me a link to a blog post or write me an email!

Thanks, what are the implications of storing the tokens in the browser? Is Auth Code Flow with a backend server much more secure?

yeah, having a backend is much more secure. I feel like this needs to be my next blog post.

@oktadev @oauth_2 @aaronpk What is the current OpenId Connect recommendation for a SPA without a dedicated backend, is it Auth Code Flow + PKCE in Browser?
#oauth #openidconnect

Yep exactly, I wrote some sample code for doing that here: https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/05/01/is-the-oauth-implicit-flow-dead

Taxis are officially superior to ride sharing services again. They are often faster, the drivers are more professional, and they usually know where they are going.

Only the taxis that have their own ride-hailing app! Once taxis started adding ride-hailing and payment via the app, then they're basically all the good parts of Lyft and none of the bad.

I still continue to have a bad time with old-school taxis. The last trip I took the driver asked me to pay in cash but I didn't have enough, so he took $20 cash and the rest on the card, which just feels sketch.

@aaronpk years ago, I wrote a little script that automatically converted a Keynote deck into individual PDF files (one per slide, vector, scalable) and then created a PPTX file out of the result. Not editable, obviously, but a nice shortcut. Sadly, I can’t find the script anymore!

that's.... ridiculous and fantastic

I just refuse. You can have pdf if you (quite reasonably) don’t want keynote.

Keynote is just a better authoring environment than PowerPoint. And my choice of tool needs to be optimized for me, the author and not someone else’s desires.

unfortunately it's going into a deck with a bunch of other slides womp womp

That's not what we want! What would make the experience better for you?

i mean the conversion worked reasonably well, it just still takes a lot of fiddling to get things looking just right, since there's always something that goes wrong with font sizes or alignment and such

@aaronpk But did you ever actually use it? I never used mine.

I mean, that depends on your definition of "use".

"use" for its original intent? absolutely not.

"use" for things like this? of course :D https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/4325

Anyone have a print-on-demand service they recommend? I have a couple-hundred-pages PhD dissertation that's relevant to my work I'd like to print out and have on hand.

My book is printed through Lulu.com. I like that they contract with local printers so it's actually cheap to ship to almost any country because the books don't have to go very farl

Yeah, 90% of the time this wouldn't apply to me, but I can see the utility. The same way the email clients have the "Unified Inbox" across different email clients. Most the time I want to be able to just look at one category. But sometimes I load my reader and I have like 1-2 posts in 5 different channels. For those instances it would be kind of nice to open up a reader that I knew support this "Unified Unread" and just scroll and read them. I get tired of tapping between the channels when I run into those couple of posts in each channel situations.

Now that you mention it, if I see the unread counts across all channels and there's only a few, I wouldn't mind the unified channel for quickly catching up on everything. However, I would *only* want content from the channels that keep unread counts, not the ones that only show the dot. But that could be a server-side setting that the clients don't need to be aware of.
