Here’s Conor, designer at Basecamp, making an excellent point about the experienced paternalism of that post.
But also do read Conor’s full thread. And note that more employees have publicly expressed disappointment. x.com/conormuirhead/…
Jonas is head of design at Basecamp:

Det här är en viktig undersökning. Hjälp gärna till att sprida den.
What did I just watch!? 😳🤯🤮 x.com/JasonSCampbell…
With one client I’ve recently had reason to pull up a prototype I made in 2014 for them, showing changes they never made that would benefit them today. Save your artefacts, people!
Yes. 2014.

@imdoinfine I've been a long-time user of Overcast and switched to Castro because it felt more intuitive for me with lining up my listening queue. I'd say they're both good and it will be minor details that makes one favor one over the other.
Jag skickar nästan aldrig fysiska brev men då och då händer det att jag måste posta en faktura. Fast då letar jag länge - och ibland förgäves - efter de frimärken jag köpt året innan. Blev således glad över att upptäcka nya smarta tjänsten "Portokoder"!
1. Ange beloppet för porto
2. Swisha betalningen
3. Få en kod som du skriver på kuvertet
4. Klart att skicka!

Good listen for anyone interested in AI ethics. castro.fm/episode/eQ7PFx

@tashwillcocks I think a big part was the unpreparedness. Given advance notice, and how one can choose pass on it, I think works for most of these shorter “interludes”. A button I can click for “No, thank you” makes the whole difference. Not sure if 4 would make a difference for me.
I attended an event on Digital Ethics today and lasted five minutes. 5 mins into the event we were told we would be randomly paired with a stranger and encouraged to have a 1-1 conversation for five minutes. No way to avoid, because the tech would just “spin and select”. I left.
An activity like that works for some people. Certainly not everyone. Doing it at the top of the agenda in a digital room of 50 unknowns was not respectful to participants. If I just wanted to listen in on the event was no way for me.
Left me ill at ease.
When you're typing away long texts on different platforms on your phone even though your laptop is right there in front of you...
I always feel stupid when I realize I'm doing this. And I'm still doing it as I'm typing this 😅

@bjornhagstrom @EmilStenstrom @Stockholmsstad @oppnaskolplatt Håller med, jättebra! Flaggar bara för ett "men" som ska vara "mer" i sista stycket.
Som bevis för att jag läste hela vägen. 😅

Again reflecting on how I roamed around in the forest as a kid for hours on end. And today can't leave the phone at home because "what if something happens!?" Or worse, that the kids leave without phones. I sense that fear is a bigger force in my life than I would like to admit.

@jbaldwin @imaginari_es As the article describes, the time before a sound is emitted is 3 days. Plenty of time to follow someone. In an abusive relationship it is unlikely for the target to be away from the abuser for that long. The time period is reset each time the tag’s owner is close to the tag.
↪ Replying to @beccanalia
@beccanalia True, the concept isn't new. I bring up Tile. But Apple also forces all iPhone owners in the world to be part of the Mesh network. This will likely be more accurate than anything that came before it.

@beantin @epenzeymoog The extended time is currently 3 days according to one source I found: macrumors.com/2021/04/21/air…
↪ Replying to @epenzeymoog
@epenzeymoog @imdoinfine @beantin I mention Tile in the piece I published yesterday. I feel Apple obviously tried but their efforts still have glaring problems.
axbom.com/apple-airtag-a…
@epenzeymoog @imdoinfine @beantin As I see it, Apple are introducing an additional tracker into the equation which means redundancy for an abuser. They can plant both a Tile and an AirTag to create more "reliable" data.
@epenzeymoog @imdoinfine @beantin The fact they buillt this into the operating system without any ability for me as an iPhone owner to opt out of being part of the mesh network is also concerning.
I veckan lanserade Apple en ny fysisk produkt som kan användas för att hålla koll på dina ägodelar: AirTag. Det handlar om små runda brickor som du kan fästa på nycklar, väskor och fordon för att kunna se var de är på en karta. Det här innebär också en risk för personer som är utsatta för våld i nära relationer.
I en tid som klargör hur mäns våld mot kvinnor måste få mer utrymme i debatt och lagstiftning, så hör det till ämnet att visa när ny teknik erbjuder nya sätt att utöva detta våld.
Apples AirTag-brickor visar på tydliga försök att adressera riskerna, vilket också avslöjar hur medvetna de är om problemet. Men Apple missar i transparens och når inte hela vägen. Vi behöver prata om hur teknisk innovation ofta lyckas göra livet lättare för många, samtidigt som de mest utsatta behöver hantera ännu en risk för eget liv och hälsa.
