Great to see @KrishBhasin championing #Firefox's amazing privacy protection tools, ie Multi Account Containers https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ as a way to limit blast radius of tracking #TechNott
How can we assume that the layperson can say that they knowingly "opt in" to terms of service when they're incomprehensible, some great points in @KrishBhasin's talk at #TechNott tonight about the privacy implications of online advertising
Really interesting talk at #TechNott about high performing teams and building safety culture. I'm a huge fan of this, and embracing blameless culture, and now I've got some new tips to apply to it, too! Thanks @tom_geraghty
@tom_geraghty is sharing some interesting learnings about high performing teams at tonight's #TechNott
There certainly are a few #CapitalOne folks here at #TechNott, even though you can't see me waving behind the pillar. Come say hi to talk about some of the jobs we've got at https://jobs.capitalone.co.uk/
Very much looking forward to tonight's #TechNott, not least because it'll be the first meetup I'm owning every interaction first from my website in #IndieWeb fashion, as well as converting hashtags to tags on the posts themselves!

2018 in Review (25 mins read).
Looking back at 2018 as a whole - both the positives and negatives, and looking forward to 2019.
Tech and non-tech friends. Please watch The Circle (https://youtu.be/QCOXARv6J9k) for a great look at a not-so-distant future of tech, and the risks if not not kept in check. Very painful to watch as it's so close to reality

With the help of https://snarfed.org I've now got https://brid.gy running locally and syndicating RSVPs from my website to Meetup.com - hopefully it'll be live next week for the rest of the #IndieWeb to enjoy https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/873
But when it gets right down to it, if permissive open source is free candy, copyleft is a free puppy. If you want a puppy, a free one is great. If you don’t want a puppy, receiving a free one by surprise can be costly and awkward.

A fairly easy result for #HomebrewWebsiteClub - don't try resending Webmentions (for two weeks) if the target doesn't support Webmentions
Although I don't condone Vim bashing (as a Vim user, and because it quite often tells you how to exit) these are pretty good

Tomorrow's fun will be reinstalling my laptop to remove BTRFS. It's over a year since I said I would (https://www.jvt.me/posts/2018/12/22/leaving-btrfs/) but I've not got round to it, and I've messed up my docker install
It's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tonight! https://www.jvt.me/events/homebrew-website-club-nottingham/2020/01/08/
I'm not 100% what I'm working on - it may be finalising my Meetup.com Brid.gy integration, or may be just on my own site!

Hey @Meetup - further to my comments in https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2019/12/klwyi/ is there any news around when you're going to restrict any OAuth apps that are being used by non-Pro members?
A very interesting read on choosing a license to protect the author's income, which I get, although realistically (at least) the AGPL has been written to ensure that the end users always get the code, not that the authors are protected.

Reminder that it's the first #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham of the decade tomorrow!
Hope to see some of you there for building / working on your personal websites https://www.jvt.me/events/homebrew-website-club-nottingham/2020/01/08/
Been watching #GoodOmens this evening - lighthearted, tongue in cheek, and some wonderful David Tennant
