So a not too well known thing about me: I'm the co-author of the Client ID Metadata Documents internet draft that Bluesky / AT Proto uses for OAuth.
This document came about due to my work on Mastodon's OAuth implementation.

Very happy to be given free reign on the conference site so I can put in "the Ms Boba touch" (a.k.a. totally unnecessary bits of fun, a.k.a. what building for the internet is all about).
My favorite silly one is the way the "where the conference is" heading changes if you select remote tickets.

If you work on a web framework then there is a w3c proposed community group: the Web Frameworks Community Group, a place for framework folk to feedback to browser vendors about what they want to see!
If you want this it needs your support!

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.
She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.
Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Shit, I really want to attend AtmosphereConf, but damn, it's so so hard to want to spend €1400 on it, especially after my last conference travel attempt to FOSDEM which lost me like €600 because my body happened to collapse on me the week-of
I wish there was a way I could attend without that stress

Also shout out the fake ticket, which was very much a (angel/devil on my shoulders) "come on, you don't have time for this"/"yes, but when has that ever stopped you?".
I kept myself from trying to make it look like that same ticket itself "snags" on the header, so be proud of my restraint.

Finished writing something pretty significant for work, and I'm really pleased with it. Like, sometimes when I write down ideas I'm like "eeeh, I don't know if this communicates well enough" and spend ages um-ing and ah-ing about it.
