    On Mac it’s very easy

    🤯

    I had to go into advanced settings and turn on "timezone override" before that option was available but that's exactly what I wanted! Thanks!

    Essential. @flexibits Fantastical (Mac and iOS) is my pick and has this.
    Aaron Parecki
    So actually Fantastical is my main calendar on Mac and iOS, and all I can figure out is showing the second timezone on the right side of the view and showing the time zones in an event. But I want to quickly switch the entire calendar back and forth

    This is promising. On iOS you have to dig in to the settings app to change it though.

    You can do this with Google calendar, I have recently learned.
    Aaron Parecki
    I know a few apps have dual timezone support, which works fine for small differences like west coast east coast, but doesn't work well once you're crossing the date line

    Would you agree that the solution is still:
    - Sock puppet accounts for the "key holders."
    - A Chromebook only used for email/sponsors that aren't logged into the YouTube channel or anything else. If you cannot use a Chromebook, use a Mac.

    Security requires inconvenient… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1639032681454522368

    Ultimately the problem is running apps from the attacker. A ChromeBook (or an iPad) is a great way to not have to worry about that. The malware could also be possible on a Mac, so for either Mac/Windows, just be careful to never open attachments outside the browser.

    This is a much better response with valuable data that we can all gain from! Good job.

    As for your skepticism, I can only say that it's the same thing I've been seeing for the past few years with the same outcome (the fake Tesla crypto scam live streams), so I have little reason… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1639030922115977216

    I just woke up to this news and I 100% agree this is the same thing that's been happening to others.

    Just because Google has added additional protection measures doesn't mean they have prevented 100% of cases.

    There is also almost no other way this scale of attack can happen.

    I’m not sure if this is by design, but your photos don’t seem to come through in your RSS feed. Just a heads up.

    Aaron Parecki
    I don't know if I would call it "by design", but my RSS (actually Atom) feed is really meant for just my blog posts. You'll get a better result following my other posts from the higher fidelity Microformats or JSONFeed

    I do feel like a dirty YouTuber jumping on the ‘trend’ with Mr McKinnon but daaaamn. The video is doing well ha.

    I won’t make a habit of it. It doesn’t really offer much value to anyone, but sometimes it’s nice to get an ‘easy’ win.
    Aaron Parecki
    Take the win!

    But also, does he really edit his own videos still? I would have assumed he had hired that out long ago by now.

    It's odd what the web has decided are worthy to be native, usable, out of the box controls and what aren't. Like buttons, images, checkboxes, dropdowns... people should have those. But progress bars, tabs, segmented controls, real lists/grids, loading spinners... nobody needs those. They're even taking more native controls away, like the input/alert modals. I know I look at web development through a native developer lens, and wish the web was as good as native development, but it's still interesting to think about.

    There is a new W3C community group working to change that!

    Oof. Sounds like a terrible game.
    So maybe not even related to NBC? Just people trying to get SEO juice by linking to them? I don't get the rules of this gross house of cards.
    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah, I think the idea is to clone articles on popular topics from major new sites, and send them all pingbacks to get the back-links to boost the ranking of the spam site. SEO can DIAF.

    well that was unexpected! I have a "secret" hashtag in the post, so the post shows up on the #indieweb hashtag page even though I didn't mention #indieweb in the post at all!

    Good lord.

    I did one quick chat for an NBC news piece and they linked to my website.

    Now my WebMentions are a dumpster fire - filled with all their crappy, low-quality syndicated copies of the article.

    Counted 38 bunk domains all pointing back to the canonical NBC domain
    Aaron Parecki
    also fwiw, that kind of spam usually comes in via pingback, so you can just not include the pingback tag to webmention.io and accept only webmentions instead

    What's very weird about those two examples, is both websites are now something totally different and those blog posts are gone. I think it's part of an SEO scam game of some sort.

    @aaronpk I'm anti-trackpad under any circumstance (maybe BECAUSE I'm only ever really trying Windows laptops? Maybe if I was a Macbooker I'd be more cool with trackpads? Probably not I think). So I'm totally happy to grant you that but I'll always pull out the MX Master anyway. :)

    Aaron Parecki
    It's true, I do feel far less frustrated using a mouse with my windows computer. But weirdly I feel more frustrated using a mouse with my Mac, but the trackpad on the mac laptop is great. Also I don't really like the external Mac trackpad? Computers are weird

    What laptop do you have? I am on a Surface Pro 8 and the responsiveness is fully comparable to the MBP pro… well, the win10 one, at least. I have another SP8 w win11 and that one is indeed a bit laggy 😅

    It's the Razer Stealth 13, I bought it in 2019 so it's not exactly new, but it was new and best of class at the time! I did just update it to Windows 11 because it basically forced me to.

    @aaronpk I have very much the same experience when I use Mac, so I really do think it's just about what you're used to. I'm thinking about buying a Mac and spending time on it just to build up familiarity.

    Aaron Parecki
    it's funny because I grew up on windows computers, but stopped using them around the XP era. I agree that most of the differences are learned, but I swear Macbook trackpads are the absolute best no question, and no PC laptops come anywhere close.
