    You know that story about the bar owner who throws out the nice Nazi because otherwise the bar becomes a Nazi bar? This place is now self evidently owned by the far right and the doors are open for all of them. Itโ€™s no better than Parler or Truth Social now.

    For posterity, hereโ€™s a screenshot of Twitterโ€™s home timeline after creating a brand new test account during my first week there in 2009. I went looking for this to recall the name of the Everyone timeline. I have a whole folder of these from an audit I did that week.

    Mastodon has been getting quite a bit of buzz lately (an overnight success that took six years!) โ€” and if you're curious about the early origin of its underlying protocol (ActivityPub), check out my interview on @Podnews with @samsethi:

    Just want to point out that Satya Nadella changed the culture, focus, and coolness of Microsoft without losing tons of customers or having customers worry incessantly about whether it would survive.

    Leadership skills are a real thing that arenโ€™t just bloviating around.

    If you're gonna get on Mastodon, I would like to apologise in advance for being the guy responsible for posts being called "Toots". I thought it was funny. And it is, and it's even funnier that some people hate it. I take it back, I'm not sorry. Ha ha. Toots.

    Whenever I open twitter now, the home timeline has like 2 new tweets. I'm not sure if this is because the twitter infrastructure is failing, or because actually there was one person individually responsible for creating your home timeline and they were fired last week

    Ok we actually should hang out again tho since we're both in Portland instead of waiting to randomly bump in to each other in Lisbon like before ๐Ÿ˜…

    ohh I just realized that the reason I was in Lisbon was because I was at one of the W3C meetings of the Social Web Working Group, working on the IndieWeb/ActivityPub specs! How poetic. ๐Ÿ˜‡

    Everyone's talking about revealing their Twitter crushes. TBH if I follow you, I'd probably date you, and might already have a mild crush on you, so, uh. DM me while you can, especially if you're in Portland. Let's hangout!

    Now Musk says the top priority for the company this weekend is ensuring Twitter does an awesome job to support the World Cup, according to an all staff email.

    This event has required a ton of work over the years from engineers and has prompted widespread outages.

    There was no vision shared with us. No 5 year plan like at Tesla. Nothing more than what anyone can see on Twitter. It allegedly is coming for those who stayed but the ask was blind faith and required signing away the severance offer before seeing it. Pure loyalty test.

    2) it took me 5 tries to find the breaker for the dishwasher. The one labeled dishwasher didn't turn anything off. Eventually I found that the one labeled "kit lights/living room" turns off the dishwasher

    I can't wait to overengineer the crap out of the circuits for my new house.

    Yesss give me 20A outlets on the ceiling and at twice the minimum density on the walls, preferably on two different circuits!

    And why not throw a few floor outlets in there while you're at it

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.
