    I grew up cycling everywhere, and my observation is that America absolutely doesn’t understand bicycles even a little bit at all.
    Aaron Parecki
    This is very true, and a bicycle is my primary mode of transport in Portland, which won most bike-friendly city in the US multiple years in a row.

    I hope u did not unfollow me Aaron, as I just started using Okta in a project which required sign-in. Really love it, so far.
    Aaron Parecki
    I thought I was already following you!

    Random question, has the taxi situation between the Ontario airport and Redlands improved in the last 4 years? Last I remember there was literally one guy who ran a cab between the airport and HQ.

    I do purges regularly, with a bias towards unfollowing white guys. Sadly that means I've purged you like three times. Nothing personal!
    Aaron Parecki
    haha no worries! That was something I was keeping in mind too for sure.

    I couldn't see how I could automate my workflow with it.

    I got the impression I should be able to (in the superfeedr thing?), but I couldn't work it out.

    If it's possible, then it's definitely a docs issue!😀
    Aaron Parecki
    Now that you mention it, I remember that it doesn't actually do exactly the same thing. It requires you already know at least the domain of the thing you're sending the webmention to. I should probably add support for sending all webmentions.

    There's also https://telegraph.p3k.io - but I couldn't see a way that a user could tell these services: I've blogged, make the webmention run. I wanted something like a webhook. Plus, I like building stuff :) and I got to practise new skills (particularly around docs)
    Aaron Parecki
    Don’t get me wrong, I’m super excited to see another Webmention service, but I am genuinely curious how Telegraph doesn’t look like it does what you described since that’s my exact goal with it. I clearly have a few things to learn about docs from you!

    @aaronpk Is there a write up on the Libra situation anywhere? Haven't heard of them.

    Aaron Parecki
    I'm sure there are dozens of hot takes by now, on both sides of it. I've been mostly offline the last two days so I just now found that ad.

    @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?
    Aaron Parecki
    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?
    Aaron Parecki
    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?
    Aaron Parecki
    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
    Aaron Parecki
    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.
    Aaron Parecki
    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!
    Aaron Parecki
    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.
    Aaron Parecki
    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?
    Aaron Parecki
    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
