”Part of what it means to be close to someone is sharing what makes you vulnerable, giving them the power to hurt you, and trusting that person never to take advantage of the privileged position granted by intimacy.”

This article is poetry.
There was a significant milestone in October. Trump sent more than 1,000 tweets in a single month. At 2 minutes per tweet that’s more than 33 hours of tweeting. Or more than 4 work days.

@DorotheaBaur I ’m pretty sure you knew the answer ;)
@DorotheaBaur Related: I once worked on a health dashboard service here in Sweden and some stats for certain towns weren’t allowed to be displayed because a person could too easily be identified merely by diagnosis and town of residence (especially where population numbers are low).

@krmaher @MostafaGhadrian I wonder what totally flipped his position in such a short time frame. 🧐
Haha. This is basically the example I had in my 2016 ethics talk at #UXLx (and at #uxopen the year before). Which really strengthens my point that mistakes like this are profitable and fixing the GUI is not a priority. x.com/baekdal/status…

@chrisnoessel I think this tweet got detached from the thread? Very much enjoying the thought process as well. Thanks. 😊

Sooner or later your e-mail and password (on one of your 100+ online accounts) is part of a data breach. Mine were recently again. But if you make sure to have unique passwords for each and every service you use, you can more easily stay calm.

My e-mail address was found in yet another data breach recently. This time on a site named ToonDo. I'm not overly concerned about this since that site does not contain critical data about me, but more importantly: I do not use the same password anywhere else. I only have to change it there.
Still, I talk to people almost daily who use the same password on multiple websites. Taking the time to move away from this practice appears overwhelming for many people.
I wrote this post a couple of years back to help with this. If you're struggling with password management, maybe you can schedule time in your calendar, over a weekend or at least over the holidays, to think more about how you want to handle your passwords?
If you are an employer or manage a team, then do set aside time to go through these issues in a controlled setting. Not after the breach happens.

@berkun Hmm, I wonder if a more surprising image would be a good fit, and it would then have to be from a use-case/example in your book. So every time I look at the book I remember that example :)
↪ Replying to @berkun
@berkun Voted. I did not let it affect my vote, but I’d reflect on how a fixed perspective of the globe as a symbol works in print. The globe is always centered on one part of the world, with the risk of the rest of the world feeling left out. All the designs are fantastic though.

@grishund Min första tanke är att Audible-appen har synk-problem och att jag skulle logga ut och in igen i appen...
