    I signed up for FedEx and UPS delivery notifications to my address or whatever they call them, and now it's just a guess as to what will show up when I get a notification that something from "IMCLS" is arriving next week

    Assigning colors to Gmail labels really makes my inbox look a lot more fun. I don't know why I didn't do this ages ago.

    I’m seeing an increase in likes of old tweets from account who appear to be legit. Has Twitter changed something that surfaces older tweets in the timeline?

    6th grader: “Why do we have to learn about the Great Depression?”
    Me: “Because it was a period of great hardship for millions of people, and it taught us lessons about how to avoid ever letting it happen ag... uh, because your teacher said so.”

    For example, we will use "this alternative will take O(# of users) to deploy because you have to chance their behavior" or "this one will take O(# of websites) to redeploy" or "this is O(# of IDPs) hard" to compare alternatives in a objective way, like we compare algorithms.

    Every now and then I run into discussions that make an assumption that devices and mechanisms are the hard part. Most often, two sided markets are overlooked. E.g. web intents, payment handlers and the nascar flag problem in identity.

    There is this device that we are using in WebID to compare alternatives that has been super useful. We don't have a name for it, but it is more or less like "Big-O" for Activation/Deployment Complexity.

    That's for the final profile URL. The user can enter something different at the start, and if that contains a username component then the trick works.

    I don't agree that it's completely glossed over - there is a registration protocol, it's just not widely implemented. The intent could be better stated, for sure, but I think IA's emphasis is too far the other way. My ideal is something in-between IndieAuth and OIDC, I think! 😊
    Aaron Parecki
    take a look at my activitypub conference talk, starting at 11:50, I address the UX aspect of it here: https://aaronparecki.com/2020/09/22/25/activitypub-oauth-2-1#t=710

    also happy to set up a time to chat about this instead! I think we have a lot of similar goals!

    My goal is to enable secure, simple federated identity. Authentication is a core bit of functionality in that regard. Obviously supporting non-corporate identities is critical, but forcing everyone to be 'indie' is a mistake, I think.
    Aaron Parecki
    nobody said "force". my goal is to *enable* indie identities, something that is pretty much completely glossed over by the current OIDC ecosystem.

    I use DNSSEC since 6+ years, while I have seen many auth protocols come and go. And 'IndieAuth' I first heard today.
    Aaron Parecki
    ah yes, the "this is the first I've heard about it" argument sure is a solid one

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.
