    The number of times I get blocked for just correcting people based on history is hilarious. It's okay to be wrong as long as you let yourself change to right.

    There's a million and one reasons why the "few bad apples" argument is BS, but I feel like there's really no excuse for it after seeing video after video of the MANY MANY bad apples being sent to mis-handle this situation right now every day.

    These are not the words of a president. They are the words of a dictator.

    “I am dispatching thousands of thousands of heavily armed soldiers” - a sentence I expect to hear from leaders of authoritarian countries, not the President of the United States, in reference to my own city

    If you run a community Twitter account, this is a good time to:

    1) Make sure you 100% know everyone who has access to it
    2) Enable two-factor authentication

    You do *not* want to be in the position of having to explain that your account has been taken over by racists

    Not impressed by the care taken in crafting these messages. No matter how patient you may endeavor to be, it proves trying to simply accept a note like this one:

    ppl out here think ethics in tech is just about using diverse illustrations on their landing page, and not whether their apps can be used as tools of the police state

    The system isn't "broken"; it has been intentionally evolved over hundreds of years to continue to legally oppress, harass, and kill Black Americans without consequences. All non-Black Americans have contributed to and benefited from this oppression. #BlackLivesMatter

    Things I would miss dearly from MacOS if I did this.

    FCPX
    Screen shots
    Screen recording
    The Email App
    The Calendar App
    iMessage
    Aaron Parecki
    as someone who decided to switch to windows just for video editing, I agree with this list.

    Except for: screen shots, there's a print screen button!

    iMessage and Airdrop mean so many more hoops to get stuff from my phone to my laptop

    Validate user input. Sounds simple and sensible until it gets forgotten.

    One of my old security teachers had a saying: treat everything you get from the client as toxic. Assume it’s false, malicious, and unsanitary until you can prove that it is not.
    Aaron Parecki
    seriously! It's like one of the first things you learn when developing web apps. It's an embarrassing oversight frankly.

    If you are a Facebook employee organizing collective action, do not use corporate laptops, phones, or apps! This includes Work Chat, Messenger, and WhatsApp. Communication between employees is not privileged. You signed this away in your employment contract.
    Aaron Parecki
    holy crap, that even applies to using personal devices on company property.

    which I guess isn't that significant right now but still.

    There are many things you can do to support a protest without the risk of the front line beyond just tweeting and donating money. Here’s a good start.

    I've been getting the weirdest Twitter ads today.
    Aaron Parecki
    Same, and some of them are from really suspicious looking Twitter accounts. I haven't clicked, but I'm wondering if the sites they promote are some sort of tracking network. Kinda want to dig into this now.

    I wrote an in-depth explanation of the "Sign In with Apple" Zero-Day that was revealed by a security researcher this weekend.

    The problem had nothing to do with OAuth or JWT, and you might be surprised at how simple the bug actually was.

    If actual bad apples killed dozens of people, there would be a national recall of ALL apples.

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.
