Psychologists have "surprising" advice for people who feel unmotivated. This is also very much in line with how coaching works. And why I talk so much about listening. Listen to the person who asks for help, rather than give them advice.

Today I've learned the hard way that the ORDER command is deprecated in Apache 2.4 for .htaccess files. Just to give you an idea of the level of geekery I sometimes commit myself to.
Globalt forskarnätverk om klimatförnekelse etableras. Konservatism, främlingsfientlighet och högernationalism har i färsk rapport visat sig ha starka kopplingar till klimatförnekelse.
"Hultman berättar att många högernationalistiska partier i Europa numera har klimatförnekelse som en av sina viktigaste värderingar."

@j_lloyd @jmspool So you fixed it for everyone with impaired vision, not just for older donors, right? I believe not focusing on age here actually creates a broader understanding of the wide spectrum of human ability regardless of age.
@j_lloyd @jmspool Having age as the driver creates the unnecessary risk of only adjusting the design for cases where you believe older people will interact - thus one bias begetting another.

@mags @PatrickGerard01 What methodology do you use to identify potential negative impact? It looks like Facebook has been apologizing for reminding people of hurtful experiences at least since 2014:

Isn’t it terrifying how the words ”edge” and ”margin” so obviously correlate when development projects ignore so-called edge-cases, thus ignoring marginalized people.

Prediction: At some point in the future a majority of humanity will reach the conclusion that listening, not discussing, is the path to resolving conflict.

@jessicaschedvin Jag tilltalas av tanken att där människor ser ut att agera på egen hand reglerar man inte, men där beteendeförändringar behövs men inte sker så måste friktion skapas för beteenden som i hög grad bedöms som skadliga. Inte övertygad om att det var så han tänkte dock ;)
@jessicaschedvin Ett bättre alternativ till friktion är förstås att bidra mer till det sunda förnuftet genom ökad medvetenhet.

Different types of passion:
1) Shouting into a camera about how awesome a new idea is and you should totally invest.
2) Calmly explaining in detail something produced with great effort.
3) Sitting outside parliament in a school strike against political complacency re: climate.
To elaborate: there is a school strike outside parliament in Stockholm going on right now, initiated by a 15-year old. Started yesterday, will continue until election day September 9. x.com/gretathunberg/…

@steveportigal @letterpress_se I think there is loads of truth in that. I actually can and do use Twitter without being caught up in the hate, but find it at odds with my ethical core to support a platform where people do get hurt. I may be too naive.
@steveportigal @letterpress_se Maybe our online forums are now at the scale where me saying this is just as stupid as saying that I'm supporting a society where people are killed just by interacting with that society.
Honestly, I'd miss you guys too much to delete my Twitter account tomorrow. But what could we do to build something better? What could I do to contribute?

Sometimes I think myself into the idea that the world is one big virtual puzzle and if we just figure out the correct reality the scientists will have to reveal themselves.
So once in a while I slowly turn my head and whisper softly to the sky: "Did I solve it?"
No luck yet 😂
