@blogdiva Thank you for teaching me the word jingoistic, I'm not sure I had even seen that word before. đ

@kaffeeringe Thanks Steffen!
Instead of a traditional online forum I am considering starting a mailing list (think listserv). Some of my best best online conversations were on mailing lists in the late 90s. And e-mail is, after all, pretty cool.
Oh yeah, Iâve just been reading about how Slack is now ingesting your messages for their AI âtrainingâ.
I Är har jag bloggat i 27 Är. PÄ min blogg har jag lÀrt ut, tipsat, kÄserat, recenserat och erbjudit mallar inom bland annat kommunikation, strategi och workshop-ledning. En e-bok om tillgÀnglighet och en e-bok om min Aceawe-modell har det blivit under Ären ocksÄ.
Och allt det hÀr förstÄs utan kostnad, utan att bygga en dataskugga av dig och utan krav pÄ att du ska lÀmna ifrÄn dig dina personuppgifter. I linje med vÀrderingar som jag tror gÄr att vidhÄlla och leva i enlighet med, Àven nÀr majoriteten av tech-vÀrlden vill dra Ät ett helt annat hÄll.
NĂ€r jag nu snart fyller 50 tĂ€nker jag att det bĂ€sta jag vet Ă€r nĂ€r man kan ge sina pengar till nĂ„gon annan Ă€n mig â till nĂ„gon som verkligen behöver det. Precis som för 10 Ă„r sedan har jag valt att starta en insamling till Barncancerfonden.
Om du nÄgon gÄng fÄtt hjÀlp och stöd av mitt lÄngsiktiga arbete med att lÀra ut och skapa medvetenhet om inkluderande och etisk digital design kanske du vill övervÀga en gÄva.
Just nu stÄr vi ocksÄ pÄ tröskeln till en barncancerrevolution.
"Nya tekniker har öppnat dörren för möjligheter vi inte vÄgat drömma om. De kvalitetsregister och biobanker som Sverige Àr internationellt kÀnt för, och som Barncancerfonden finansierar, har nu visat sig innehÄlla det guld, i form av data, som behövs för att ta nÀsta steg inom barncancerforskning och omvÄrdnad."
Barncancerfonden finansieras uteslutande genom stöd frÄn privata givare och företag, bÄde stora och smÄ.
"It feels good to me, so therefore it must be a good thing."
The foundational fallacy of harmful behavior and systemic injustice.
Just seeing so much of it right now. đą
@datarama Yes, that's exactly it. đ
@ingemar I had it on VHS when living in a country without television, so Iâve seen it multiple times đ
@ambivalena Woot!? Galet.
It's an odd one, but I think the movie Cherry 2000 was formative to me.
Made in 1985, released in 1988, it's a Mad Max-esque adventure where a tracker (Melanie Griffith) is helping a businessman (David Andrews) find an out-of-production fembot in the post-apocalyptic desert wastelands of the future, to replace his animatronic wife that breaks down at the start of the film.
The year in the movie is 2017. Cherry 2000 is the name of the discontinued robot wife.
Needless to say, businessman Treadwell learns that an animatronic partner perhaps isn't the right future for him.
Anyone else remember this film?

« Han diagnosed what he called âthe violence of positivity,â deriving from âoverproduction, overachievement, and overcommunication.â We are so stimulated, chiefly by the Internet, that we paradoxically cannot feel or comprehend much of anything. »
Fan vad lÄngt Google Translate har kommit ÀndÄ. Det Àr bara att applÄdera.
Agree with Rachel here. Some parts of this video also made me go 'hmmâŠ'.
The probabilistic software responds 'Perfetto' to confirm, thus using the language that the controller just requested translation from, and into, which would logically imply they do not know that language. A bad choice for a confirmation message.
It infers gender and intent rather than just translating as requested. "She wonders ifâŠ"
It also mimics the Italian speaker's laugh at the end without having been requested to do so, which can come across as mocking (hence the audience laughter). If the voice was deeper, would it do the same and what would that sound like.
This entire interaction in the video is obviously rehearsed to a tee. Whether the software output is real is impossible to say.
This. This is on my mind every day now. How are so many celebrating and pursuing a technology that exacerbates the climate crisis when we need to shift behaviors to mitigate the climate crisisâŠ
Always worth a watch.

"Do we truly comprehend how much of our time and attention is given to technology? In his talk, Dino Ambrosi reframes how we think about our relationships to devices, and shares his ideas on how to create healthy digital habits."
@gMoon Very cool! Thanks for sharing all those links!
Ghost now begins building their integration with ActivityPub. First post is out.

Started rewatching Veronica Mars. Wow I love this show.
@mkj I believe youâre right but it would also be nice to to see someone having done the test run. In cases like this it feels there are so many ways for it to backfire đ
@mxfraud Lovely. Iâve had it in my mind to move to Migadu for a while now. Intrigued by them ever since I read their Pro/Cons page. So refreshingly honest.
