    I purchased a new trash can today. Now I can't stop thinking about how the hell I'm supposed to throw away my old one? Where do I put it? It's too big to fit in the new one! Is this recursion?

    If you use copyrighted content, YouTube will run ads on your videos but you won’t make any money.

    (if the copyright owner decides to monetize your video vs ask it to be removed)

    It's never okay to use someone else's copyrighted work without their permission. YouTube has kinda blurred that line by making it easy for copyright holders to find and monetize vs just takedown.

    If I lived in London I would be all over this. But why isn’t it a website?! It would probably have been cheaper for them to develop and would allow them to serve a far wider set of people. My guess is: a consultant fleeced them.

    It's probably a website wrapped in a native app too 😭

    We’ve published an explainer about an idea to harden SMS-delivered one-time passwords by allowing senders to associate the codes with a website. We’ve been talking about the idea with some folks at Google, and would like more feedback. https://github.com/WebKit/explainers/blob/master/sms-one-time-code-format/

    All we do is talk about manipulating the DOM, but what about checking in and caring for the DOM?

    Hivemind question:

    Whats the technology/approach for a person who wants to build a self-hosted site for very low volume e-commerce?

    Because I'm grouchy about the "everyone uses npm" discourse today, I just wanna remind people the

    YOU CAN STILL MAKE WEBSITES IN WHATEVER TOOLS YOU WANT

    HTML + JS and a lil vanilla CSS? Just HTML and some gifs? Heckin' ASCII?

    Also theres a club for it

    Question about JS modules:

    I'm using a complex-ish library (js + css + svg) for html JSON editors

    But the github page only lists "how to build for npm", and lacks any "dist" folder with regular js files, or even a CDN version

    Why would this be the case?
    https://github.com/josdejong/jsoneditor/
    Aaron Parecki
    I can't stand when projects do this. For me it's a sign that the library is overengineered and I probably don't want to use it anyway.

    Fine, visor up this time – but at least the magnificent Earth still makes an appearance too. All #spacewalk #selfies (and other photos) made possible with a Nikon D5 with a 28 mm lens in a protective housing (visible in center of 2nd photo). #SelfieSunday

    Having ported my phone numbers several times to/from cell<->voip providers, I can tell you that it is incredibly insecure. You need basic information and then you "promise" that you are the owner. It gets ported. It works in the new provider. The cell phone will just stop working

    My time at @Vonage is coming to an end. I have ~10 years experience with #devrel or devrel-adjacent work and have given over 100 talks in the last 5 years. If you're in need of a developer advocate/community person with some management experience, let's chat!

    I would love to be wrong, but I'm beginning to feel pretty strongly that using IRC for all communications is a good way to keep your OSS community an Old Boys Club

    Exactly why we bridge all of IRC, Slack, Matrix and Discord for the IndieWeb chat. Regardless of where you join from it's all the same chat. https://indieweb.org/discuss

    My earlier point is that everyone needing to buy a domain name is an unreasonable expectation for the vast majority of people.

    We pool resources for all sorts of things in meatspace society. Most people do not have a reason to be “every person for themself” digitally.
    Aaron Parecki
    Sure, and in that case, share a domain with a friend/community you trust. My problem was very specifically with your wording "go get a Mastodon somewhere" for these two similar but unrelated reasons:

    To parrot back: Do you run your own email server? Unless you're running your own, you don't own your email identity, the server admin does.

    I think distributed instances with their own rules are many steps forward from our current centralized position. Better is good.
    Aaron Parecki
    Nope, email *domain* not email server. My email address is @parecki.com but it's gmail behind it. That means I can swap out gmail for running my own server later and nobody who emails me will ever notice. That's the difference.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
