@jsonbecker oh yes - agreed - sending credentials is wrong and lazy. The worry is this idea of 100% ‘absolutism’ that is being assumed for internet verification that we don’t even pretend to have in real life. I would also like to see insistence on corporate identity - not oft talked about - but ID should go both ways - it can’t just be dear person please identify yourself to we the mighty corporation - I should be able to ask the caller to prove that they do indeed officially represent the company that they say they are from.

@jsonbecker you need to account for the who, not the what - age verification is about verifying the age of the person on the site, not the machines admin - AND ideally not just online.
@WiredDifferently just finished episode 2 🤯
I seem to have accidentally solved an earlier issue where replies out of Micro Blog were also rendering as WebMentions.
10 Minutes Later - WRONG. There’s that latency again. They are back. BUT - a challenge for another day.
Still left - a little bit of styling, template organising etc - but overall very happy.
I should also give a shout out to Claude who accompanied me on the journey - a first since the last time I tried Web-mentions Claude had not been born.
This time it continues to be both clear and true that the indie web is not for the ‘just make it easy’ community and is definitely part of the ‘committed community’.
For my dollars - as soon as we can solve that challenge - all the better.
@philpin.com 👁️
@devilgate Had to look him up. But - thank you❓
I never knew how old he was. 60 is way too young.
@WiredDifferently it’s funny that this one surfaced in my feed yesterday which I saved for later - it does look good noting that it comes from 2022. How did I miss it?
paging @dave who I’m sure will have an opinion ..

(#BeyondMyPaygrade … but observing how many cool readers have appeared this year .. that all seem to have a slightly different take)
@softrockstar.bsky.social Not wrong

@bradenslen Real life corollary just from yesterday …
payment submitted, the thingy spins - get a message that it’s failed - check the card - the money has gone.
Wondering - is that a corollary?
@artkavanagh now that IS a ‘longread’ :-)
@stefp i had never even heard of Broadcast until this post Stephen - so properly checked them out and love ’em - thank you.
Shades of Cocteau Twins / This Mortal Coil - though arguably ‘happier’. Maybe even a gentler kind of ‘Wondermints’. Just great stuff.
It did not.
