“In a time of misinformation, in a time of suppression, having this place where people can come and bring knowledge and share knowledge, that is a statement.”

I pay $100 for Max and yet I still use ChatGPT all. the. time. for mundane prompts.
Google will begin redirecting traffic to google.com stating that country-code top-level domains are “no longer necessary” for search.
A hit to the .CA brand, sure, but Canada’s domain name has never been more relevant.
While twitter is down, I’m noticing the thoughtful details available to Mastodon apps via API.

A password manager can ideally suggest the right account(s) at the right time. This saves time but also avoids the user attaching verification codes to the wrong account. The most direct way to identify those accounts is to match a domain name.
1. Not every browser or platform shares the domain name or other heuristics during a handoff on the same device.
2. QR codes in particular need the domain name included in the URL (and encoded in the image) for handoff.
Always include a domain name!
Apple and Google have similar recommendations for this handoff, but one difference can improve the user experience (or it hold back) by allowing a password manager to suggest the right account (or none at all) to add a verification code to.
QR codes are most common way to set up a verification code today. Users are often prompted to scan one with an “authenticator app.” These QR codes are just an encoded URL like this example:
otpauth://totp/Example:username?secret=key&issuer=example.com
The internet needs a standard for setting up one-time verification codes. Apple should draft one.
SMS codes are effortless, but less secure.
One-time verification codes offer a more secure alternative, but require a password manager — and an initial handoff that lacks an internet standard.

Great annual report from Defector — a cooperatively owned and operated media business: https://defector.com/defector-annual-report-year-four
Appreciate the overall transparency, but (as a payments nerd) particularly enjoy these insights into Stripe and subscriptions: “a new annual subscription projects to be worth ~20% more to us during its first year than a new monthly subscription.”
