anyway, if you want to hear me rant for an hour about what I'm dealing with trying to fight this obviously invalid (i'm being generous here) Content ID claim on some of my YouTube videos, join me tomorrow at 10am Pacific youtube.com/OLK2re0LfrQ
this system is inherently rigged to the advantage of copyright holders, except it's also extremely easy for a supposed copyright holder to be malicious, or at best just be wrong or make a mistake, and there's very little a content creator can do
So I've been spending my Saturday night preparing for tomorrow's livestream by reading up on all the details of YouTube's Content ID system and reading the licenses of various royalty free music sites, and all it's doing is making me more and more angry about the whole system...
Looks like the folks I need to actually ping are @orchtweets
I just realized the 2nd content ID claim was from a completely different comedy set, so it's their label that used this song in their outro for a couple different comedians and now YouTube is flagging older videos
I have every confidence @artlist_io will be able to sort this out, it's just so frustrating that the system works this way. I've been using this song for over a year, and now suddenly YouTube thinks this guy's comedy album published last week is the source of this song?
PSA to fellow creators who use @artlist_io you might want to avoid using "Anthem of a Quirky Hipster" for a while... Seems like a comedian published the song in a comedy album and now YouTube is flagging any use of it thinking he owns the copyright to it.

Alright now you can make up your own wordle stats for the nytimes version! Fill out the numbers with whatever you want, then click the link it generates!

say... that gives me an idea...
(Warning: don't click this if you haven't already migrated your actual wordle stats)
Open this link and then look at your wordle stats page 📈

Pretty neat trick Wordle used to migrate everyone's saved game state:
The main Wordle site was replaced with a bit of JS that grabs the game data from LocalStorage and puts it in the query string when redirecting to nytimes.
Also notable: that code is vanilla JS, no libraries!
Sometimes Duolingo makes up sentences that don't make any sense, but I think even this is something they couldn't have come up with if it weren't for the pandemic
I'm curious what, if any, types of websites you actually want and allow browser notifications from.
I feel like there's a good use case for them, but it's certainly not being notified of news articles or new recipes.
oops, I accidentally viewsourced wordle and it turns out the next day's words are already chosen and visible in the source code. Don't look if you don't want to be spoiled!

Dear @Eventbrite, I have an account, so please make sure it is not possible for other people to sign me up for events with only my email address. I've been added to dozens of events over the last two weeks and it's an interesting new vector for spam. @EventbriteHelp
And to get this out of the way early, no I can't just switch to creating my slides in HTML. However I can rely on always being able to export them to PDF from whatever they're created in.
Fellow conference speakers! I'm tired of posting my slides on Speakerdeck, I want to host them on my own website.
What awesome tools are there for doing this in a way that looks as close to Speakerdeck as possible? I'm thinking maybe an old-school JS slideshow viewer?
Just used this handy XKCD chart to determine that it was finally time to build a web interface on top of this little PHP script that generates PDFs of checks, rather than continuing to hack up this code by hand every time I need to print one. imgs.xkcd.com/comics/is_it_w…
In late 2019 I stuck a raspberry pi and e-paper display in a picture frame and made it show my upcoming travel plans. Now it is just blank. What should I use it for now?
