But but I thought all computers are neutral and unbiased and perfectly just and error-free?

1. Tetris
2. Pitfall

Actually, would be interesting to hear if anyone knows anyone with this role: read why people unsubscribe to newsletters and then act on any insights. x.com/axbom/status/1…

@letterpress_se It pisses people off and I've never heard of anyone responsible for reviewing why people unsubscribe and acting on that information.
Feeling hopeful after yesterday visiting the accessibility course final presentations at @Nackademin - a class taught by @hampelusken within the UX Designer program.
These were some of the best reviews and reasoned presentations I've seen, topping professional ones.
The students' passion shone through but I was also struck by the care and reflection with which they spoke about the people using the services, focusing less on tech constraints and more on human potential.

Är ett barn två minuter sen till lektionen så kommer förstås det där sms:et. Skälet är irrelevant. Men bara för att man kan göra vissa saker digitalt betyder inte att man ska. För de ogenomtänkta lösningarna kan göra att människor, barn, far rejält illa och att de som mår dåligt mår ännu sämre. Micke Gunnarsson ryter ifrån här, med svordomar och tårar. Och jag kan inte låta bli att dela. Det är den här typen av effekter av digitaliseringen som gjorde att jag skrev Digital omtanke.

@raeBress @showYoDiq I don't save any pics on @dickpiclocator but a simple way for me to help could be to add some sort of notice that would encourage people to send you a copy, if that's at all interesting for you. Especially given that it should be consensual ones.

@gfscstudio Haven't read, thanks for the tip!

@gfscstudio Agreed. But when it's addressed towards changing people's behavior to, for example, create habits to decrease fossil fuel consumption, is it always good to nudge people without their awareness simply because it's for a good cause?
