Want to feel confident you are talking to who they say they are? Hang up and call them back. As a podcaster, there certainly is a wealth of voice data to just download and source for deepfake phone calls...

Amazon's extensive white paper on privacy and security for the Sidewalk network should give you an idea of how invasive the network potentially is. By keeping Sidewalk active you are betting on Amazon having pre-emptively thought of everything that can go wrong.

1) I make a lot of bad decisions. Sometimes those decisions can hurt others. When I teach ethics I encourage students to be more aware of why they make bad decisions in order for them to become better at spotting, and mitigating, risky circumstances.
I use the acronym HURTS.
2) H is for Health
When we neglect our own health, often through lack of sleep or unfavorable diets, our own fatigue can risk the safety of others. Sometimes we have no personal control over health issues but can make ourselves aware of fluctuations in clearheadedness.
3) U is for Understanding
When we make decisions without making an effort to understand all aspects of a problem space, we are less likely to make informed decisions and risk rushing into more problems. It's hard to know everything but easy to know too little.
4) R is for Resilience
Our ability to make favorable decisions even when we are being pressured to do otherwise can mitigate harmful acts. But resilience is impaired by power imbalance and we may need friends and allies to support and stand us by.
5) T is for Time
When not given enough time to complete a task we take shortcuts, miss important cues and clues, and make fewer efforts to stop or course-correct when we are astray. Reflection and reasoning are often neglected when time is the top priority.
6) S is for Self-awareness
If we haven't spent time getting to know our own values and how we can work to promote those values there is less of a chance we will recognise if we make choices contrary to our belief systems. Boosting self-awareness can let us be more of ourselves.
7) It's always good to spend time at work (and elsewhere) discussing how these factors play into decision-making and how everyone is supported in being better decision-makers. Consideration and reflection is always worthwhile. Especially when it HURTS.
A person measuring their own worth in numbers can get creative in boosting numbers.
A person with freedom to pursue a clear goal can get creative in pursuing that goal.
A person who cares for another being can spend time helping regardless of numbers, goals or creativity.
Which is more common?
Massive humanitarian crisis happening in the Democratic Republic of the Congo right now. Half a million people have had to flee a volcanic eruption.

This may be the most surprising opening ever for a @uxpodcast guest pitch. 😂
Our names are James and Per.

@markusandrezak I have never liked Slack. I think this summed it up perfectly.
↪ Replying to @EverydayExpPod
@EverydayExpPod @beantin It's published fortnightly, so always on a Friday two weeks between. Same schedule all year. Predictability is important to listeners I believe.
It's early morning Swedish time which means it will actually be late Thursday in the US when it comes out. But it's always the same.
Here is @hampelusken being absolutely brilliant in explaining how to make #accessibility matter in your organisation.

↪ Replying to @beantin
@beantin There is definitely a line people should stay the fudge behind.
↪ Replying to @Katalogofchaos
@Katalogofchaos Yes!
- Being in trenches
- picking battles
- feeling under siege
It’s a really bad default perspective.
Even, actually, bullet points!
So many of the guests pitched to UX Podcast are at "the frontline of innovation". Where is this line exactly?
↪ Replying to @unknown
@steveportigal @WolfgangBremer Not sure. As I spend a lot if time on blogging and podcasting it felt quite natural for me to experiment with turning it on to see what that does to my profile. I think if you write a lot of content it makes it easier to find. But can mean the 'mode' is relevant for most anyone.
@steveportigal @WolfgangBremer When it comes to the vocabulary I haven"t gotten worked up about it, strangely enough. I may have given up when "masterclass" became a thing. That got me riled up...

@WolfgangBremer LinkedIn are rolling out a "creator mode" this month. If you haven't seen it yet you likely will within a week.
@WolfgangBremer Explained here: linkedin.com/pulse/introduc…
Been playing with the new creator mode on LinkedIn and added a "cover story". If it's working the way I expect, you should be able to click on my profile photo and see a 30 second video.
