I've given many talks about how mobile apps can't be deployed with a secret, and using Twitter's 2013 "hacks" as an example. I'm just going to leave this completely unrelated string of random characters here for no particular reason GgDYlkSvaPxGxC4X8liwpUoqKwwr3lCADbz8A7ADU

Here is a really bad meme that also uses a #disinfo technique Today it is a misquote: President Biden never mentions tanks at all. Here is the speech: bit.ly/3HTdGZI and YouTube: bit.ly/3DykqcT Using misquotes in memes is common vatnik tactic #nafo
This is a #disinfo technique used when sharing manipulated data, The numbers ignore so much context and actual truthful data to present a lie. Over 9 million crossings into Poland alone. Many brought to Russia forcefully. Including kidnapped children.
Top countries where the Ukrainian refugees flee, acc. to #UN High Commissioner: -#Russia (2,852,395) -Poland (1,563,386) -Germany (1,055,323) -Czech Republic (486,133) -...
PSA: If you use Twitter to sign in to stuff, you should double check you have another way to get in to those accounts asap. With Twitter charging ??? for API access next week, you have no way of knowing whether the apps you use are going to pay that.

January 2023: New Skates and New Clothes?

January 2023 report out (yes I forgot to publish December oops) anomalily.net/jan-2023-repor…
I hate laptop fans sooo much time go film this video one more time...... normally I record a separate audio track for back up....tried to be quick and now it cost me twice the amount of time
The Twitter API stuff inspired me to check some things since basic login is the only part of the API I use on beesbuzz.biz. Among the active users over the past 3 months: 40% authenticated via email 16% by fediverse 13% by indieweb 31% by Twitter
I only started scraping #NAFO tweets in October. Close to 340k and I am sure the APIs I use miss a ton
Hey #literacies and #digped folks If anyone needs any data for basic social network analysis or just a text for content analysis I have just under 25k tweets collected over last five years from #literacies hashtag
Seek not those who fold all that is told into answers. Monuments of arguments dancers who, fate has sealed into place towering over those with less power. #smallpoems 1/2
Salesforce layoffs also appear to be starting. Some directors have been cut, and a mandatory all hands meeting was added to employee calendars for this morning.
In today's world of racist #Twitter More calls for "White History Month" Eleven just ain't enough.. Need that short month they gave to the Black people back.
If White History Month did exist, we could celebrate how White people freed the slaves.
Elon Musk sent an email to Twitter employees telling them to write a one pager on what they accomplished in January, what they plan to accomplish in February, and "any ideas you have for improving Twitter." Twitter has also implemented another change freeze.
The Feline spies of #NAFO #catdivision have stolen Lavrov's next speech. Taken during his recent tour of African prisons looking for Wagner recruits the plans reveal keen insight into #Russian influence campaigns

Have you found a suspicious package during eternal Caturday?

13 years ago today: created #RelMeAuth with @progrium.com, to replace OpenID 1&2 for *reasons*

* modest proposal: authentication using domain as identity, rel=me link to OAuth profile with rel=me link back^1
* @progrium.com suggested RelMeAuth name^2
* I agreed, and wrote up a draft algorithm^3

All on the same day. A few months later I wrote it up as a draft spec:
* https://microformats.org/wiki/RelMeAuth (could use some updates)
More updates and discussion:
* https://indieweb.org/RelMeAuth

See those links for RelMeAuth implementations in:
* PHP, Python, Node, Ruby, Go


RelMeAuth is simpler for both publishers & parsers (consuming code) than OpenID.

There are now more sites that support RelMeAuth (and the complementary IndieAuth) than OpenID (which is largely abandoned^4).


And today, @Github.com rolled out support for multiple rel=me profile links!^5

This means you can now use @Github.com’s OAuth (and their multifactor login etc.) to authenticate as your own domain via RelMeAuth on even more services.

E.g. see my profile https://tantek.com/github (not a typo^6). The left sidebar links to my personal site, Twitter, and https://micro.blog/t all with rel=me markup.

^4 OpenID 1&2 were abandoned for OIDC (OpenID Connect), a supposed update/replacement, despite dropping the goal of domain as identity, the use-case for OpenID in the first place, so the #IndieWeb picked up that use-case with RelMeAuth & IndieAuth.
