Walking around the house and - in my head - writing a blog post about the superhuman e-mail tracking pixel. Getting more emotional by the minute. Need to find time to write this for real...
āEditor in Chief Lauren Kern attributed Apple News' popularity to a decision to downplay algorithmic story selection in favor of human curation.ā

This post by @mmcwatters on his project The Tweet Hereafter is thoughtful and contains many layers. What digital footprints will be left after our passing and how will they be interpreted? We are multitudes - but can not contain the beholder.

@hypervisible That picture is only missing a white cat.
Image desceiption: The James Bond villain Blofeld holding his white cat. The actor playing Blofeld, Donald Pleasence, bears a striking resemblance to Jeff Bezos.

@alundbergh @markusandrezak You can switch to that but Twitter switches it back without telling you. Iāve been meaning to make more use of lists but have never gotten around to it. All in all Iām mostly okay with my Twitter experience since I started frequently blocking the worst people.
āŖ Replying to @markusandrezak
@markusandrezak Iāve noticed if you send someone a DM their tweets come forward again. Not a solution, just an observation of the broken timeline. I also sometimes realize there are people I havenāt seen in a while because Twitter said so.

@Acuity_Design @AOC Nice, Iāve used Clips on iOS for this before and was really impressed. There are also captioning services where you upload videos like the one UNICEF posted and it does the hard work for you. This oneās paid, but comes highly recommended: happyscribe.co

@tranhelen My take: Not the tech, but the social etiquette it once demanded. āHi, how are you? Wicked game last night, huh? Just getting back to you on our chat from last Friday regarding the bug in the time reporting.ā
Chats/forums demand little of this and hence perceived as faster.
Beautiful film with Greta.
āYouāre so brave!ā
āNo, thatās not courage. Thatās just determination.ā
Though I would have appreciated captions throughout to make it more accessible. Only tiny fragments are subtitled. x.com/UNICEF/status/ā¦

@francisrowland @bridgeable @suthen @fiinixdesign @LouShackleton @dr_know Nice! Thanks for the tip.
Deepfake. But flesh and blood. Actors hired for years to impersonate parents, friends or just someone to eat in front of you. This was an uncomfortable read, with food for thought.

A brilliant dissection by @jarango of the problem with video calls and a feature that "redraws" your face to make you appear to look straight at your speaking partner. The type of tech we need to risk assess.

AnvƤndare kan ƶverraska om man Ƥr villig att bƤttre fƶrstƄ deras behov. Bildelningsfƶretaget Orix fƶrstod inte varfƶr sƄ mƄnga hyrde bilar frƄn gatan men aldrig kƶrde dem. I en bransch-enkƤt till kunderna gavs mƄnga olika svar pƄ vad bilarna anvƤndes till:
* ta en tupplur
* fƶrvaring av vƤskor
* kontorsarbete/jobbsamtal
* ladda telefonen
* Ƥta takeaway-mat
* titta pƄ tv
* ƶva pƄ att sjunga/rappa
Fƶretaget NTT Docomo avslƶjar att mer Ƥn 10% av deras kunder anvƤnder bilarna till nƄgot annat Ƥn att kƶra. FrƄgan blir om man ska motarbeta kunderna eller anvƤnda insikterna till affƤrsutveckling.

@Skogberg @uxmilkman @kazuhito Nice! Congratz!
In which we discuss the benefits of categorizing these practices to create a common language for addressing and talking about covert manipulation. Also, third-party patterns! x.com/uxpodcast/statā¦

@z_rose I know. I follow you more than you are aware - scary huh ;) That's what I meant with first-hand experience.

Sorry I haven't had time to tag them with categories.
I will only say this once even though I know people reading my bio will make assumptions. Also, that might be on purpose ;)
