Getting real about technology…

Meeting platform @whereby dropped the ball on this one. When I ended the breakout rooms today none of my students came back. Apparently there is a new button users have to click to go back. But everyone was busy working on their @mural boards, so of course they didn’t notice… 🤦

@whereby @MURAL As meeting responsible I had no idea of this change and no way to go into the rooms to tell people in person, because the rooms, as far as my interface was concerned, did not exist anymore.

Took me 7 minutes to get everyone back to the main room.

Not staying awake for @60Minutes (it airs when it's 1am here) but do alert me to any good summaries you come across. Would be nice to wake up to a curated list of stories. 😀

If you’re not aware, whenever you see the name Nick Clegg (lobbyist and PR officer at Facebook), also remember he served as Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2010 to 2015.

“If people just hate Facebook more because of what I’ve done, then I’ve failed,” she said. “I believe in truth and reconciliation—we need to admit reality. The first step of that is documentation.”

This is significant to me: ”She recalled a senior manager telling her that people at Facebook accomplish what needs to be done with far less resources than anyone would think possible.”

I expect this to be true. It’s a core tenet of poor decision-making.

My newsletter from today contains lots of links regarding the ongoing debacle(s) with regards to Facebook. After this one I definitely hope to take a break from bringing up Facebook too much again.

”Though Facebook has been remarkably successful since going public in 2012, […] the new filings argue that investors face serious downside risks they cannot understand — a potentially serious allegation for the SEC.”washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

@LisaHeino Absolut förvånande. Det är stökigt å ena sidan. Och samtidigt bra att BankID-monopolet naggas i kanten. Men vi skulle förstås egentligen behövt ett nationellt, statligt e-id redan för många år sedan.

@LisaHeino Känns som vi kommer befinna oss i en övergångsperiod när det gäller digitalisering i minst 10 år till...

@LisaHeino Jag provade att skaffa Freja e-id igen nu efter att jag såg din tweet. Mitt verkade ha gått ut eller försvunnit i och med telefonbyte. Ska bli intressant att se hur många minuter det tar innan det aktiveras. Scannade mitt körkort.

@LisaHeino Och där kom det...

@LisaHeino Tack för att du påminde mig om detta. Har tänkt ett tag att få anledning att skriva mer om Freja E-id.
