    Ooh what if they fell in love but didn't know who was behind the account?

    Like, the manager of the Arby's twitter account is all "I think that whoever's running this Jiffy Lube campaign... is my soulmate"

    And they start romantically sub-tweeting each other, but as the brands?

    This has almost certainly already happened in real life

    According to Ars: "There are four Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports, any of which can be used for power." https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/11/2019-16-inch-macbook-pro-review-bye-bye-butterfly/

    I mean its real bad. Has my video always looked washed out?

    Coming home to the big computer is after my wave form revelation and now all my old footage looks like garbage. 🤮
    Aaron Parecki
    I never thought they did? Checked a couple old ones and they look fine. If anything, sometimes the background lighting is oversaturated and blows out one of the color channels.

    Okay, just deployed a new version of Lwa . It comes with a lot of new little features but only direct replies work, lol. I'm refactoring how reactions work so you can properly syndicate them when desired. That'll personally help me syndicate a link to the Fediverse or Twitter when needed. I'm also going to add some general UX cleanup and begin working on the subscription components so Lwa can allow you to subscribe to content you see in your reader. Soon Aaron Parecki , you'll have one less user on Aperture! When my Microsub implementation works, the only thing I think I'll be leaning on you for is perhaps Watchtower and that's only until I finish Bondye (yet another project)! Viva la IndieWeb! Lol
    Aaron Parecki
    😂 I'm always happy to lose users to other platforms, that's how the IndieWeb grows!

    And now I need to find out how much of this applies to the new 16” MPB
    Aaron Parecki
    ooh all four are thunderbolt! That probably adds a considerable amount to the cost of it!

    got some banana bread in the oven 😋

    Aaron Parecki
    mmm I did that yesterday! Vegan, and sweetened with apples and bananas and a tablespoon of molasses!

    - The goal for USB4 is to clean up some of the mess.

    So for example, there is no USB 3.1 hub with 3.1 ports, all you have is port expanders. I expect quite a few USB4 hubs, and for many to work with alt modes.
    Aaron Parecki
    I look forward to buying all new devices and cables again in another 3 years

    I look at it as:
    - The goal for 3.0 was to increase the speed an order of magnitude, and set the stage for future increases
    - The goal for 3.1 was to create a single port to accommodate the need for devices like mobile phones and tablets to work without product-specific adapters

    This is the kind of stuff that makes me glad I work in software standards and not hardware standards

    I'm not going to hold Thunderbolt- a spec far older than USB-C- against USB-C.
    But now that Thunderbolt has been rolled in to USB4, you damn well better bet I expect these things to start to improve. Somehow.

    There better be some 4 port USB4 laptops showing up!
    Aaron Parecki
    Oh gosh I hadn't heard about USB4 at all yet. Is it going to use the same port as C?

    It’s so infuriating. And we gave up MagSafe for this crap.
    Aaron Parecki
    What's really sad is my PC needs 100W which virtually no accessories can provide, so I need to plug in my USB-C hub *and* the laptop's charger anyway
    Portland, Oregon • 50°F

    This got me a bit curious so I looked up what the differences might be and lol, this is like a reverse XKCD comic. To be honest, the fact that one port can even mimic both of these options is amazing! But now, you have to run around with little lightning bolt stickers for your cables and hardware, lol.

    Aaron Parecki
    It's so bad! And I have no idea which cables are which right now either so I'm gonna have a project ahead of me.

    What's the chances that's going to happen anytime soon? Maybe my time in the cryptocurrency community has jaded me on changes happening as soon as people would like lol
    Aaron Parecki
    There are some big changes coming in the OAuth/OIDC community, but moving away from JWTs is not one of them. Like most things, if you know how to use them properly, JWTs are fine, which is why it's usually the best bet to go with a major provider's implementation.

    Thirdly Lumix GX9 with 12-60 kit lens. All the B-roll potential of the GH5 but a fraction of the cost $500
    Aaron Parecki
    The GX9 can do 1080 at 24fps right? If so, I'm interested!

    New vid is out! Main stuff shot on EOS R. Wide shot was Metabones speed booster and tight was RF 24-105 in 1080p. I think I’m convinced. I’m just gonna shoot 1080p.

    It looks great! I shot my last one in 4K but I don't think it was really worth it. Took forever to make proxy files to be able to edit it at all, and in the end what for? so you can see more hairs on my face?

    I’m using webmention.io to handle webmentions currently, so it should handle this? :3 I don’t know, still haven’t gotten around to actually showing webmentions

    Aaron Parecki
    ahh then yes it should! My fault! I don't use that feature of webmention.io myself so I never noticed this!

    @aaronpk is something’s up with your #webmentions or you just like my homepage that much? 😸 #bugs

    Aaron Parecki
    Oh yeah I should probably figure out how to stop doing that, but because my post links to both your individual post in the in-reply-to property as well as your home page, my site sends two webmentions. Technically you can tell them apart because the mention of your home page doesn't have a specific microformats property on it. But I'm gonna add this to my list to tidy up anyway.

    Made a huge personal decision today. Been battling this for a long time but I just need to do it... Selling/giving away every camera bag, case, pouch and organizer I own that I haven't used in the last year. I hope this tweet gives some of you the strength to do the same!
    Aaron Parecki
    I did this 6 months ago and it was great.

    But then I went and got more bags...

    @annika it's cute. I love what punkt are doing (https://www.punkt.ch/en/products/mp02-4g-mobile-phone/) but they're just so expensive, this seems a better option

    Aaron Parecki
    That Punkt phone is really cool. If I actually talked on the phone ever I might consider it! Most of my voice communication happens via Zoom these days tho.

    @manton I’m still not quite sure why it wasn’t a good idea!

    Aaron Parecki
    Two reasons:

    1: The only data in the Pingback payload is two URLs. Wrapping this an an XML container that's also doing RPC is incredibly overkill for sending just two values. That's why Webmention went with form-encoded instead, like regular HTML forms, which is about the most compact way you can send two values.

    2: Pingback never went far enough with the user experience of displaying them. At best, you'd see a snippet of the text near the link, which it turns out wasn't really that useful or contextual. Once social media started taking off, the interactions there became far richer than seeing the pingback excerpt, so people abandoned them. With Webmention, we're explicitly focusing on enabling the kind of rich interactions people do on social media instead.
