My bookshelf on ethics-related matters. There are more books lying around the house though.

@opassande I tried switching to the Google Authenticator but that just broke Twitter when I tried logging in.

Hmmm, not able to receive my text from Twitter for 2-factor authentication (been 2 days now). This means I can't reach my Twitter from anywhere but the two places I'm already logged in. š¬ Trying to understand how bad this is right now.
How do you feel about the practice of ripping videos from other sources and uploading them to ones own channel without explicit consent?
(Be it Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or other.)
Then, how do you feel about doing the same with images?
This problem with reporters who can not fact check before they report, and hence contribute to misinformation and even further prejudice... it's a big one. x.com/RealSaavedra/sā¦

@RealSaavedra Here we go, one of many examples:

@AOC is 100% correct and there are many organizations across the world working on ways to mitigate bias in machine learning.
@RealSaavedra @AOC Algorithms are driven by computation, not by math.

@RealSaavedra Google says: "Machine learning models are not inherently objective. Engineers train models by feeding them data sets of training examples, and human involvement in the provision and curation of this data can make a model's predictions susceptible to bias." developers.google.com/machine-learniā¦

@jmspool @uxpodcast Haha, thank you Jared! Also, I'm sure you'll say something controversial soon to get people riled up. Then you'll have to invite us over to work it all out on a live show ;)

@sookio Is there any chance that you've kept a hi-res version of this photo that I could get access to? :)
āŖ Replying to @nickf
@nickf The realization that one does not have to be perfect, merely set aside time to adjust priorities once in a while, is the best.
When I started out in usability, user-centric implied for me "doing what's best for the user". I now understand that user-centric is understanding as much as possible about people for the purpose of imposing a solution on them.
Today I strive for human-considerate.
āŖ Replying to @Tynell
@Tynell Yeah, it'd be a tough change overnight. I was forced into it just by the sheer amount, and my workload, and then came to realize waiting wasn't a problem.
Fun challenge for myself. All my reaction gifs (on Twitter) for the rest of the year will be pandas.
When I stopped responding to e-mails same day I believe I created a new healthy, mindful space I had forgotten was available to me. Responding to e-mails can now take me an average of 1-2 weeks and I donāt let it bother me. On the contrary, accepting this empowers me.
When responding I also avoid apologizing for the wait. What I will do is thank the sender for their patience.
Yes, obviously this is a generalization with exceptions, but there is a huge change in how I manage and allow myself to feel about e-mails. Since about a year back.
