I want to buy this course. Is there any coupon code?

Yeah! Udemy runs coupons on it pretty often! I don't know the exact schedule, but check back again every week or so and you'll probably find it discounted!

anyway, if you want to hear me rant for an hour about what I'm dealing with trying to fight this obviously invalid (i'm being generous here) Content ID claim on some of my YouTube videos, join me tomorrow at 10am Pacific https://youtu.be/OLK2re0LfrQ

oh no oh no it gets worse... I literally just got an email saying they rejected the dispute. They are obviously wrong about this and anyone at YouTube with half a brain can tell you this, but how am I supposed to get someone at YouTube to care??

Finally had to pull the safari bandage off.

Fully using firefox on both windows and apple now.

if there's nothing else that we've come to expect from you, it's drastically changing up your tech preferences every month or so

this system is inherently rigged to the advantage of copyright holders, except it's also extremely easy for a supposed copyright holder to be malicious, or at best just be wrong or make a mistake, and there's very little a content creator can do

So I've been spending my Saturday night preparing for tomorrow's livestream by reading up on all the details of YouTube's Content ID system and reading the licenses of various royalty free music sites, and all it's doing is making me more and more angry about the whole system...

After a bit more research, looks like urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob might be a more idiomatic (and probably more secure) approach?

I'd recommend the device flow for it tbh, I've seen it used that way a bunch. The oob thing is more for installed apps that can monitor the address bar. With a command line app, especially over ssh, that doesn't really work.

Update: Now I just got a copyright claim on a *year old* video for using this song!

@travisisjoking get a grip on your copyright lawyers please!

Looks like the folks I need to actually ping are @orchtweets

I just realized the 2nd content ID claim was from a completely different comedy set, so it's their label that used this song in their outro for a couple different comedians and now YouTube is flagging older videos

I have every confidence @artlist_io will be able to sort this out, it's just so frustrating that the system works this way. I've been using this song for over a year, and now suddenly YouTube thinks this guy's comedy album published last week is the source of this song?

Hey, any freelancers or self-employed folks have an invoicing product they'd like to recommend?

Don't need it to tie into bookkeeping, literally just need to send good looking invoices and collect payments online.

/cc @eveporcello @marcysutton @MindsEyeCCF

Stripe invoices are surprisingly effective. If you want something a little fancier then I've had good luck with Invoice Ninja, payments processed by Stripe of course

Thanks! I stole the idea from Flickr!

The copyright system is so broken, it's laughable. I remember Youtube content creator Paul Davids getting a copyright strike for his own song, because someone just ripped it of his Youtube vid and "published" it on Spotify. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvH77m_3MVU

Yup that sounds about right

PSA to fellow creators who use @artlist_io you might want to avoid using "Anthem of a Quirky Hipster" for a while... Seems like a comedian published the song in a comedy album and now YouTube is flagging any use of it thinking he owns the copyright to it.

Good for you. It's not the norm.

I am just happy to exist almost entirely outside of the superbubble. Also interesting that NBC chose to prioritize that over olympic figure skating tonight.

If you're a YouTuber and you didn't know, don't post a video today (unless it's about the SuperBowl). You're welcome.

Eh I did my livestream at the normal time and had more than average viewers. Also I ignored the internet the rest of the day. I'll catch the summary of the good ads tomorrow.

Habanero Hot Sauce

Made 90 ounces of habanero sauce! Not canned, just refrigerated. Should last us through about May if past consumption rates are any indication. Recipe: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/12/25/8/habanero-sauce

@aaronpk didn’t work for me, none of my stats came across.

If you go clear your localstorage on nytimes then you can use this tool I just made to recreate it!

@manton Josh Wardle mentioned this, and other under-the-hood stuff that I found interesting, on the Syntax podcast this week. (Domain transfer stuff in particular, sounded tricky.)

oh nice, i'll have to give that a listen!

say... that gives me an idea...

(Warning: don't click this if you haven't already migrated your actual wordle stats)

Open this link and then look at your wordle stats page 📈

https://aaronpk.com/7i1BP

Alright now you can make up your own wordle stats for the nytimes version! Fill out the numbers with whatever you want, then click the link it generates!

(If you want to overwrite your current nytimes stats you'll need to delete your localstorage first)
