Woke up an hour before the alarm and immediately started writing notes for my #WorldUsabilityDay talk. It will be emotional and scathing. There is so much for the industry to be held accountable for. And there are paths forward that vary in moral soundness.

@jennyshen @codetalkshh Go Jenny! Hope to be able to attend one of your presentations in the future.
The one thing I would invest in today is charging stations for electric vehicles.
This I believe. x.com/b3rtfabian/staâŠ
Already have three(!) "pokes" from people this morning asking if I've seen their messages. đ
Honestly, I think I see all messages, and I have a backlog... đ
But they were all equally nice about it, saying there's no rush. â€ïž
@skommunikatorer NÀr ni anvÀnder begreppet "master class", hur skiljer sig dÄ den kursen frÄn övriga kurser? Vad ingÄr i det begreppet?

@grishund đ SĂ„ klart det Ă€r. DĂ„ skulle "hoppade upp i luften" funka tycker jag.
"The dog bounded over the gate", Àr ju "hunden hoppade över grinden". SprÄng Àr ju ett roligare svenskt ord men kÀnns som man vill att huvudet ska ha ben för att kunna ta ett sprÄng.
@grishund FÄr mig nu att tÀnka pÄ en saga jag lÀste som liten dÀr det vÀxte ut tre ben pÄ en pannkaka och den hoppade ur stekpannan och sprang ut och nerför gatan...

@grishund "Det tog ett sprÄng upp i luften." Om kontexten Àr ett djur.

One of my biggest beefs with the Swedish language is the lack of words to differentiate between efficient and effective.
Both these are regularly translated using the single word "effektiv".
Thus making it hard to differentiate "doing things right" and "doing the right thing".
The importance of this distinction truly illustrates how language can be a barrier to advancement. And boy, does language stand in the way of equality, but that's another story.
(yes, word choice intended to exemplify said point)
Growing up (and into adulthood) I thought "getting your just deserts" was "just dessert"*. So you only got for dessert what your behaviour merited. It still makes complete sense to me.
*And I know I wasn't alone.
The original meaning of "desert" (pronounced exactly as dessert but more often used in plural) is of course "deserved reward or punishment".
With all my reading on ethics now I realize I'm at a crossroads because some say that "deserts" in that sense is obsolete. And dessert is more fun, and inclusive. When do we claim the meaning of a word has retired?
(I'll likely use both.)
