TIL Beaverton & Portland were first cities in Oregon to use mobile photo radar to enforce speed limits.

And it was in 1996!!! 27 yrs ago! And it worked really well.

It is now 2023. The lack of automated enforcement as we face record traffic fatalities is really not cool.

I remember when that got installed in Beaverton! It sounded like super high tech stuff at the time

Is @Twitter also monetizing OIDC/Log In capability? That does not make sense. They are just acting as an identity provider in this context and I’m not sure putting a paywall for user initiated profile sharing consent to 3rd parties is a right move. @elonmusk?

I mean, has anything they've done made sense? They don't support OIDC which means you have to use the same OAuth developer portal to get API access and use Log In with Twitter. Are they going to separate the two by next week?

"Weirdly" that string has google hits.

hmmmm I can't imagine why this particular string has been relevant for the last *checks notes* ten years

@aaronpk From a dev standpoint it's just good practice, right? Distributing your consumer secret keys to so many devices so your team never misplaces it, right?....
It's like when I share my ssh private key in my public github repo for backup purposes along with a list of all servers it can access. (/sarcasm)

but for reals tho, the best way to make sure you have a backup of your data is to publish it as widely as possible. There are some photos from 15+ year old projects that I wish I had published more widely because somehow I've lost track of them over the years.

@aaronpk Oh lord are they charging for their *oauth* APIs too? That would be... incredibly short-sighted

who knows at this point. We'll see next week, but I wouldn't guarantee any particular behavior at this point

@aaronpk FWIW, OAuth appears to be treated separately from APIv1.1 and APIv2. it’s feasible that it will keep working for free. but it’s anybody’s guess at this point https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/api-reference-index

It's true, they are slightly different, but you still have to go through the developer portal to register an app for "log in with"

PSA: If you use Twitter to sign in to stuff, you should double check you have another way to get in to those accounts asap. With Twitter charging ??? for API access next week, you have no way of knowing whether the apps you use are going to pay that.

You can review the list of apps you've connected to your Twitter account here:

@Aaronpk are you aware of any attempts to port overland to Android? I’m thinking of embarking on that journey unless someone else has started something I can contrib to.

Yes it exists already!

Gumroad's price increase will take effect in 5 days! 😰 @gumroad
Are you staying or moving? If you're moving, where to & why?

If you're still looking for a Gumroad alternative, I'd love to personally onboard you to @typedreamHQ products! https://buff.ly/3WWPZVa

I'd be interested in trying it out it it can support digital downloads with file sizes up to 8gb each. So far Gumroad is the only one I've found that lets me host files that big without a monthly fee.

@aaronpk it’s very odd since I believe their devices like firetv have this sort of flow implemented. So they know how just for some reason don’t do it?

yeah I was surprised! And Amazon even has some folks who are part of the OAuth working group too, but maybe just not on the Alexa team.

May I introduce you to the "metaverse" (ignore that it was coined by a company that changed their name to meta). Or maybe "synergy" is more to your liking?

2024 will be the year of the Syneverse
