I got made fun of so much as a kid for having a deep, loud voice, I'm pleased I finally put it to use in a setting where it is appreciated.

Cool. But to my mind it's a right-libertarian approach rather than a left-libertarian approach (which is what I'm proposing)

As long as what you're doing fits with your politics, that's cool.

I still think you're missing the overarching goal that we're doing here. We're explicitly not saying "do it all yourself", which is why I'm super glad that things like micro.blog make it very easy for people to start to take ownership of their data.

I'd also like to know which meals are really better for being made in an Instant Pot. Like REALLY better than what you could do on the stove. I'm not sold.

Mashed potatoes, and risotto! And chili! (I'm a fan in case you can't tell)

I wouldn't argue otherwise. But if you're in a conversation with someone and one half of the conversation disappears (e.g. if I deleted the previous tweet), it makes no difference anyway...

That's why I download a copy of all the responses to my posts and serve the copies from my site. By now I'm sure there are plenty of cases of comments on my posts that are gone, but they still show up on my site because I decide to keep them there.

Updated my tab stats extension for Firefox.
It now shows open tab count on the badge, and the tooltip shows current count, opened today, closed today, switched today.

Next you gotta post your tab stats on your website! https://aaronparecki.com/now/

Ouch, probably will just go back to my normal thumbnail method.

I get that S1H is kind of niche but this was my worst performing video in a year 😬

I think it's the title more than the thumbnail. A "tips and tricks" video is probly going to appeal to people who already have it. For a brand new $$$$$ one like this I'd expect something like "why you should buy the..." or "my favorite things about the..." would work better.

Client registrations are not also not portable across AuthZ Servers. As a dev you need to reg the same app with every ecosystem and manage credentials often static. End users often have no assurance besides logo and name that they are authorizing the same app in every ecosystem.

This is actually a very good description of the benefit of IndieAuth's use of URLs as client IDs.

https://www.w3.org/TR/indieauth/#client-identifier

Every app is identified by its URL, so you can build trust that way across providers.

@sonicrocketman - just been going through pine blog - and will be signing up - looks really neat - thank-you for the work - are there many micro bloggers registered there? I see @aaronpk and @manton there …

Interesting, I didn't sign up there or anything. I guess that means someone who uses it is following me?

I hate trying to take b roll of my gopros because they are always filthy 😬

I woulda assumed you just had a stockpile of b-roll footage of all your cameras when they were brand new that you'd reuse in every video?

It turns out that youtube-dl has a "--mark-watched" parameter that I believe will track the download as a view :)

ooh that's something

I have a small number of YouTube channels and creators that I enjoy following, but I really dislike the experience of using YouTube on the web and on iOS. So, I whipped up a script that automatically downloads YouTube content and adds it to my Plex server. So much better!

I was doing that for a while, but I want to make sure that my views are counted so that the creators get the credit (and ad revenue) and I'm not sure that downloading it that way still counts it.

I do pay for Premium so I can download in the YouTube app for offline watching, which does contribute to the view count.

There must be a way to make a new social media platform where everyone hosts their own data that's basically just run on RSS feeds. But supports comments, likes, sharing etc. Like RSS+.

There sure is!

Does anyone know, can the GH5S be powered while in use through the USB port or do you need a dummy battery?

@thisistechtoday you have a GH5S right?

I didn’t think it could but also I can’t remember the last time I tried. I have a dummy battery for it but now I’m gonna try the USB mode when I get home

Friendly competition: Has anyone seen a higher "cleaning fee" than this? 😂

@Airbnb has become basically unusable for me because the user set and company set fees end up doubling the nightly price

I've noticed if the listing is managed by a management company the cleaning fee is often higher than usual. The nightly fee is split with the property owner, but the cleaning fee is kept by the manager. Upping the cleaning fee means they can keep more.

The "car insurance" spammers have changed up their tactics! Now they tried to tell me they're an insurance company based in Los Angeles. When I pressed them and asked, "So I'm not allowed to know what company I'm talking to?" they finally hung up.

I get those calls too but I just hang up as soon as the robot says "car insurance" because I don't own a car 😂

Friends, is there a service that my dad can use to forward his landline number to his cell, permanently?

Both my parents ported their land line numbers to their cell phones and dropped their cell numbers.
