Loqi[cleverdevil]: jeremycherfas left you a message on 2020-01-14 at 5:39pm UTC: and anyone else who gets podcast info from Overcast, have you noticed any weirdness lately, with episodes skipped and things like that?

[tantek]I got an email from "Google Search Console Team" that I don't remember signing up for with the subject "Your September Search performance for http://tantek.com/" — anyone else get emails like this with various coarse/summary stats from Google? And I'm curious how they're collecting these too, I don't use GA on my site.
[tantek]if it's something more than one of us get regarding our personal sites, it's probably worth documenting as a thing, and how to best make use of it (or (un)subscribe as preferred)
aaronpki also get notices from the same address about things like "Add the new Organizer property to your Event" or "New Mobile Usability issues detected for site"
[tantek]right, and we can use these as inspirations for site analysis and notifications in general (if anyone were to want to create their own equivalent)

[fluffy]But anyway if you’re getting those emails it means you signed up for Google Webmaster Tools at some point and went through their whole authentication flow.
[tantek]The description basically admits how it's been co-opted from the original ideal of "user-centric identity" into the pseudo-tech of "self-sovereign identity, blockchain-based identity" (which is pretty much completely ignorable)
[tantek]They claim "IIW serves as a forum for working on the identity systems and protocols that make the modern Web work such as OAuth, OpenID Connect, User-Managed Access, and Fido" and that seems mostly false AFAIK
aaronpkthat said, since travel has stopped, the OAuth group has been doing pretty well with regularly scheduled virtual meetings, and we don't really need the IIW forum for that anymore
aaronpkbut like I said, most of 2020 that forum hasn't been necessary since the primary advantage of it for the oauth community was having another chance to meet in person
aaronpk(outside of the regular IETF meetings, which were very often only partially attended because they are held in places that are sometimes hard to get to for some people)
