Looks like their security might not be as well thought as it might be, see also @rmondello’s thread about their u/p implementation

It's really frustrating that apps get these basic things so wrong. If these are the mistakes they're making that are this visible, what other much less visible mistakes are they also making?? It's not a good sign.

@aaronpk That's interesting... I have always picked all whenever that prompt shows up fearing that if not, then the application won't work, or will work,but severely limited functionality.

You can always change your mind by going into the settings for the app later! But generally apps should only be doing things with your photos when you select them, so it'd be super weird if the app functionality was limited by choosing the other option!

Once you give it access to all photos, there's nothing stopping it from combing through your camera roll and doing whatever it wants, like scanning your photos for location data, uploading hashes of the images for later matching, or probably worse things I can't think of.

Also can we maybe *not* just hop from one silo to another that could just as easily be purchased and dismantled?

We've got 20 years of documentation of this, and I'm just tired of it. https://indieweb.org/site-deaths

wow, Hive Social won't let you add any photos unless you grant it access to *all* your photos. Normally on iOS you can choose to give an app access to only select photos, but it recognizes this and prevents you from doing anything. Super sketchy, will not be using this.

Thanks! The question is, will it edit 360° footage produced by other hardware? I have the Ricoh Theta X, and the device is really good. It’s just the stupid video editing software that past a certain length exports videos with black frames

ooh, I don't know if it can import footage from other cameras!

I'm pretty sure Davinci Resolve (free) can edit any 360 footage tho!

Got awesome underwater 360° footage, but the @RicohTweets software (theta+) is buggy and won’t let me export - @aaronpk @timcappalli what do you use?

I have the Insta360 X2, it's so much fun! The iPhone app is decent, and there's a MacOS app if you want to do more detailed editing too.

The X3 came out recently, I like the larger screen but not planning to upgrade myself https://www.insta360.com/product/insta360-x3

Hey, @aaronpk Will you ever update your LiveChat overlay or open it up to allow CSS updates?

Update it to do what? I've pushed out a few updates for new features.

It's also open source if you want to totally customize it. I'm open to feature suggestions too, feel free to add an issue on the GitHub!

App ideas for dog owners:

- type in a movie and find out when/if there are animal noises that will freak them out
- scan your leftovers, see if anything bad for dogs in there
- collar sensor, alerts when they are in cute/weird positions that are amusing

I was trying to figure out how these were related 😅

Habanero Hot Sauce

Made 108oz hot sauce.

The store was low on habanero peppers so about half of this is red Fresno peppers, and it's noticeably more red than normal.

I forgot to use an apple this time, and also used just 2tsp corn starch. It seemed to work fine though, especially after blending.

Do I want an @insta360 X3? For those who have them… do you use it often or does it get old quickly? https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1594839732969693184

I have the X2 and it's a lot of fun! I mostly use it for 360 photos and time warp videos. Using the editor is a little time consuming, and I definitely wouldn't edit anything longer than 30 seconds with it.

You guys are really trying to find Twitter alternatives your audience won’t go to instead of just starting an email list huh?

Like another app can’t go down, or get bought by someone you dislike?

Just start a damn email list.

You’re welcome . 😂

Email, the original social network 😇

But I'm still waiting for you to point out where I said it's ok for a driver to plow through pedestrians

I will admit I jumped to conclusions when you cited ORS 814 if you admit that it is victim blaming and wrong to say that the cyclists contributed to this incident at all

I'm sorry, please point out exactly where I said it was ok to plow down pedestrians.

Acting as though the cyclists did anything unreasonable here is just not a good faith argument. I'm not sure what you wanted them to do differently.

Keep in mind that if he *had* started crossing any earlier, the van would have hit more than his front wheel.

I saw that still and I asked him why they waited for the signal to start blinking don't walk.

I don't think I want to live in your world where it's perfectly acceptable to plow down pedestrians for entering the crosswalk the split second it starts counting down.

That driver blew the red light, there's no situation in which a pedestrian or biker is at fault for that.

A pedestrian who has started crossing a roadway on a signal showing “Walk” or any other approved symbol to proceed shall proceed with dispatch to a sidewalk or safety island while a signal is showing “Wait” or “Don’t Walk”

Nobody is victim blaming. What is being said is that had these cyclists been more cautious and obeyed their own traffic control devices that he wouldn't have been hit. I am more than willing to give these cyclists a safety course.

In your still frame, you've circled the crosswalk as it's counting down, it's well over 9 seconds at that point. I'm sure you're aware that crosswalk signals start counting down while it's still safe for pedestrians to be crossing.

@aaronpk I read through https://aaronparecki.com/tag/activitypub some, but would be curious to read more about your setup sometime. Your site has often been an inspiration for me to experiment with various ideas. I’ve also been wondering what a list/circle based federation client would look like 🤔

Thanks! I realized I haven't actually written about this whole setup recently, but I do have a few older posts that describe how everything is connected. I'm probably due for a new blog post to talk more about this!
