@val_brigatti @beantin Yeah for me as well. I'm thinking people who do need encrypted communication to stay safe can be especially vulnerable. Some injustices are not exposed without it

@KoloKennethK I was at home 8 months with my first child. 6 months with my second. For perspective. But that was when their mother went back to work after 6-8 months of her parental leave. I also had 14 days at home after birth. This was 17 years ago.
(I live in Sweden)
Some really good tips here. x.com/markuswelin/st…
Trying to stay private online? Think again. This one's a doozy....

Google says hackers have put ‘monitoring implants’ in iPhones for years

@beantin This sounds so so bad...
"With such deep system access, the attackers could also potentially read or listen to communications sent through encrypted messaging services, like WhatsApp, iMessage, or Signal."

Some hugely useful skills for giving and receiving feedback to pick up on here. Whatever you work with. x.com/uxpodcast/stat…

@mulegirl Captions FTW. It’s how kids in Sweden become proficient in English. Although in our case it’s subtitles rather than captions. Or actually, kids tend to progress from subtitles (translation) to captions (text version of speech) as tweenagers. I have no data on this. 😂

@skitsystem Men vafan är det som pågår...
@skitsystem Ja det vet jag ju vad som pågår men trött blir man.
Good rundown of the background and links to stories about all the problematic components of this commercialized surveillance relationship the police have with Ring.

Amazon's Ring is a perfect storm of privacy threats.

Robocall-blocking apps TrapCall, Truecaller, & Hiya were monetizing consumer data by sending it to third party analytics companies, often without consent.

We are actually going through a fair bit of data privacy issues with schools right now in Sweden. Feel like I need to translate a couple of my Swedish posts now. x.com/Iwillleavenow/…

@tsvenson Fair enough. It's the bitter old grumbling man inside me that wishes it wasn't so ;)
↪ Replying to @tsvenson
@tsvenson @feedbin Yes, both Facebook and LinkedIn had RSS feeds that they scrapped. They want the web to be more closed than open... 😞
↪ Replying to @tsvenson
@tsvenson For me, RSS is a basic blog feature, hence my question ;)
↪ Replying to @tsvenson
@tsvenson And so a CMS that does not support RSS could be marketed as a tool for bloggers?
↪ Replying to @theDayrooth
@theDayrooth Is this an argument for or against? 🤔
If a blog does not have an RSS feed, is it really a blog? Discuss.
As a sidenote I consume most of my media via the brilliant @Feedbin now. I believe RSS is making a comeback and not having it will make you fall behind.
Pro tip: Feedbin also manages Twitter following of people, tags, lists, search queries. And e-mail newsletters!
I think we need to stop for a moment and appreciate this response from @DARPA: x.com/darpa/status/1…
Then we can panic.
”These tools generate many of the same biases as human law-enforcement officers, but with the false patina of technical neutrality.”
”Scholars have been pointing to the technical and social risks of facial recognition for years. Greater accuracy is not the point. We need strong legal safeguards that guarantee civil rights, fairness and accountability. Otherwise, this technology will make all of us less free.”
