@sardinest Cool! Mastering new skills is so rewarding. I often miss programming, which I did more as a kid (BASIC) and very early in my web career (Perl).

@thoresson Good job! I could really use some of that.
What's one thing you've done over the past week that you feel good about?
↪ Replying to @marcusosterberg
@marcusosterberg Påminde mig om när jag hjälpte Ericsson upphandla ett jobbkandidatverktyg år 2000. Efter 5 månaders anpassningar föll affären på mitt användningstest med rekryterarna. Det fanns ett escrow-avtal och leverantören fick noll kronor då de inte lyckades leverera. De gick i konkurs.
@marcusosterberg Hjälten i det fallet var förstås projektledaren som ordnat att avtalet kunde falla om jag inte godkände. Jag lärde mig massor.

@VismeApp @oluies @hlithskjolf I think it's rather difficult to reach the responsiveness of a desktop app. In the end, most online apps are just too slow-working for me, which becomes frustrating.
A Milgram-like experiment, but with robots.

@oluies @hlithskjolf I’ve used Visme a bit last year. But in the end I tend to always return to Keynote. Haiku Deck is pretty cool for doing something really fast. Sometimes I go through lists like this and play around with stuff to find what fits me in different situations:

Infinite chat history is problematic when you go to send a message and realise that you never got around to that lunch you both decided was a great idea two years ago.
I just logged into 5-6 Slack groups for the first time in about a year and a half. Damn people have been busy. Also the number of times I've been pinged 😬. Yet another place to manage "time off" replies...
The Chilean vaccine logistics are impressive. Translate the tweets if you don't read French. x.com/SimonHeloise/s…

@dinkompismia Bra perspektiv! Jag berör det lite under "worker endangerment", men skriver jag något längre ska det med exempel. Tack för att du delar!
Colonial invasion justified with 'educating the uneducated.’ Data accumulation is accompanied by similar colonial rhetoric: ‘liberating the bottom billion,’ ‘helping the unbanked,’ ‘connecting the unconnected,’ and using data to ‘leapfrog poverty.'

The ACM Conference for Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (FAccT) has decided to suspend its sponsorship relationship with Google after the firings of Ethical AI lead Margaret Mitchell and Ethical AI co-lead Timnit Gebru.

Just published: The Elements of Digital Ethics.
A diagram to help guide moral considerations in the tech space.
I've been working for some months on this diagram as a summary of the many ways digital holds potential for negative impact (follow the link). Alongside the diagram I've provided a brief summary of the meaning of the currently six sections and 32 elements.
I am not an opponent of digital. I am a proponent of responsible innovation. To make responsible choices you need to understand what could go wrong. The diagram is not meant to dissuade but rather to make aware and encourage more careful and considered choices in a digital world. Feel free to use the diagram as an everyday tool, as a conversation starter and as an outline for teaching.
Digital ethics refers to a form of applied ethics wherein organisations and professionals work with the intent to eliminate and mitigate harmful outcomes that result from their work with digital products and services. It is a practical application of moral considerations in the tech space. The diagram outlines topic areas that contribute to moral dilemmas that are relevant for examination in the practice of digital ethics.

Will start adding things to this thread that I may need to incorporate or add in some way in the future.
- Deepfakes (Biometric Abuse?)
- Switching costs (Regulation Defects?)

I live doing @thecontinent_'s quiz each week. I am really bad at it, but it's a good reminder of how little I know and how few of these stories make it into the newspapers I read.
