cool I found the worst housing take of the pandemic

How is that different from, say, https://www.oauth.com/playground/ ?

That's exactly why I built the OAuth Playground! 😊

I had video once of a UPS driver walking up to my porch, slapping a “sorry wrong missed you” sticker on the door, and walking away. No attempt to deliver.

That's ... something. There must be a reason. Do they have a quota and they figure it's faster to slap that note on the door than wait for an answer or something?

You’ll have to excuse my ignorance, but I’m trying to grasp what IndieWeb is. At first glance it looks like Disqus, or maybe Geocities, or maybe webrings, or maybe a mix of all of those. It’s a little difficult to parse what it *is* from the lofty goals on the front page.

the indieweb is people!

this might be a bit more concrete https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started

Smoky curry carrot sauce for upcoming meals. Sweated garlic, onions, and carrots in ghee, added cumin, ground chipotle, ground ginger, smoked paprika, curry powder, cinnamon, and simmered with a bit of water. Puréed with a splash of soy milk and Himalaya… https://instagr.am/p/CCUmvxspjUS/

Whoa this sounds amazing! Any tips for recreating it or basically just wing it with the list of ingredients you laid out?

http://Brid.gy did that and it worked around 2 years ago, then API access started getting degraded/removed and.. it all fell apart.

Still works fine with Twitter, including this tweet. Facebook has been locking down their API tho.

techy people: using a level app on a phone

me: using @aaronpk‘s avatar picture as a level

If you’re not getting it, try to open his website from a phone and tilt your phone sideways

@aaronpk Another thing, not related to this at all: Thank you so much for your YouTube videos about the Atem Mini and Mini Pro. It was through your videos that I heard about the Atem Mini and got one for work and it really simplified my lectures during the spring semester. So thanks!

awesome, that's great to hear!

There have been a few startups in this space but none have really succeeded. The price point just doesn’t really work for most.

not everything has to be a startup

Painting is suchhhh a hassle. I keep forgetting and saying I’m gonna hire someone and then do it myself and regret it 😂

This makes me feel a lot more justified about hiring someone to paint my studio last week. I was tempted to do it myself after watching some of your videos tho!

@jack Yeah, considered as “just” a phone, and by phone we mean thing people use to make phone calls and send text messages, then I can agree that the SE is Apple’s best attempt. (Though if that is the definition of phone, I miss my old pre-smart phone Motorola. Physical numerical keyboard, great battery life and insanely thin. Also, it worked with iSync to sync my calendar and contacts. :) )

It appears quite a few people miss Touch ID which I find interesting. To me after using Face ID for a couple of days, using Touch ID on my iPad felt like bashing two pieces of rock together to produce fire. It felt so ancient. Touch ID never worked flawlessly for me whereas Face ID works almost every time. The only exceptions are when I’m laying down in bed.

What is it about Touch ID that you find better/more appealing? (Other people who read this should feel free to chime in as well.)

I vastly prefer TouchID and I wish they would bring it back to the newer phones.

When my phone is lying flat, it often can't see my face, so I have to tilt my phone up in order to unlock it to see a notification. It's a lot easier to tap the TouchID sensor to unlock it to glance at a notification.

FaceID is slower than TouchID, I'm still surprised every time I use a device with TouchID and see how quickly it responds.

FaceID fails when you're wearing a mask, which is now a regular part of everyday life, so using my phone outside is extremely frustrating and I end up entering my PIN all the time.

The only saving grace that FaceID has (or had, prior to masks), was that it works when I'm biking while wearing gloves.

That's so good. I keep getting tempted to get a drone then talk myself out of it because of the registration requirement and the restrictions on where you can fly them.

yes, they have become crazily good. the gimbal stabilizer combined with steady flight means I was able to get up to 8 seconds of exposure time in those shots

8 seconds??! Okay which drone is this
