@AndraZaharia Thank you, this is great. It’s also one of those situation where I will not be sharing a before and after picture. 😅
I do a pretty decent job of cleaning my AirPods (disgusting, yet satisfying). But how do you all clean you AirPods _case_?

@MarkoSaric Thx. I’m answering in a Swedish forum after writing about you guys and it’s just good background info. :) Obviously it’s the US telecom provider’s potential exposure to FISA and Section 702 that has been raised. It’s as always laypeople discussing things we aren’t experts on ;)

@MarkoSaric Just wanted to circle back on this. If the company managing the hosting is still American, I assume this still raises flags when it comes to Schrems II? I’m aware the there is no personally identifiable data, so really no risks - but I think this would cause people to hesitate?
“if somebody was following you around with a mirror constantly—so that while you were talking to people, making decisions, giving feedback, getting feedback—you were seeing yourself in a mirror, that would just be crazy. No one would ever consider that.”

@DanWatersDesign For this question (6 days ago) I'll still have to respond with publishing The Elements of Digital Ethics. Also check back tomorrow when this week's checkin prompt will be tweeted 😁

@annafant Had to check where in the world you are. :) Likely time to plant for me as well. I have cousins who lived in Aachen for some years.
↪ Replying to @charbeljsimon
@charbeljsimon Cool, will it be public access?
↪ Replying to @wheelyweb
@wheelyweb Happy you're happy with the shirts Joe! I've read your tweet a few times and have been wondering about the relation between "I don't care what people think…" and "Is this … what I want people to think." 🧐
↪ Replying to @WhatWuzIs
@cr8tivegem @nickf Thank you Maxine. Would love to talk more about that! Will DM 😊
↪ Replying to @marinapla
@marinapla Currently it's a 3-week course I am teaching here in Sweden at a vocational school. I would love to bring it to more platforms and audiences given enough interest. I hope to find time to publish an updated English curriculum within the month.

@nickf Thank you Nick, this means a lot. I spent so much time on it I'm really happy it's proving to bring some value 🙏

@rasmus_kaj Very true. It’s mostly a failure to improve. The systemic exploitation is just becoming more visible in many ways.
"Instead of rewarding Drs. Mitchell and Gebru, and their team for this urgently necessary work, Google responded by publicly demeaning and firing them, then harassing and intimidating the remaining members."

There is no shortage of people who believe they have found the perfect winning formula for controlling and changing people’s behavior. Meanwhile it is known how dangerous it can be for one person to be exposed to multiple different medications at the same time.
One way of working with #DigitalEthics is conducting regular moral consideration of the effects of one's work. I think this worksheet by Spotify Design is a great way of surfacing topics that are too easily overlooked in tech work. Their worksheet includes topics within physical, emotional and societal harm, prompting their teams to think about how a product may encourage or cause this harm. Each row in the worksheet also contains columns to assess the likelihood of the harm occurring and the potential severity (level of concern).
Consider how you might use a worksheet like this in your everyday work.
