I've always thought I present pretty clearly as cisgender male, but this flight attendant just told me "no ma'am" when I asked if they had any sparkling wine on board 🤷‍♂️

Remember when "web 2.0" spawned a series of life/activity tracker apps that aggregated all of your online activity? Tweets, checkins, blog posts, music you're listening to, etc all colocated in a stream.

I...want that again. Does anyone know if things like that still exist?

The most time-consuming part of any development work I do is inevitably the research

Need to implement OAuth 2 for something? I'll spend WAY more time researching the details of what that involves than actually writing the code for it

ChatGPT... does 80% of that research for me

There’s this service called “Block the Blue” that just automatically blocks people who pay for Twitter Blue. !’m considering using it. Does anyone know if there’s a way to see if anyone you follow is a Blue subscriber?

On Mac it’s very easy

Essential. @flexibits Fantastical (Mac and iOS) is my pick and has this.

iCal has this I think?

You can do this with Google calendar, I have recently learned.

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

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

Wait what??? Really?

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.

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.

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.

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
