So this is a cool Fediverse development.
Automattic have teamed up with the developer of the ActivityPub Wordpress plugin… with the intent of Wordpress becoming a ”first party fediverse member” – which I take to mean that integration will be more seamless in the future.

@LeoR1010 Underbar. Älskar henne. Tack för heads up.
@m Webbservern. Något mysko är det. Vid första anblick verkar det vara den gamla Mastodon-servern som gör något. Jag stänger ner den nu. Har inte ägnat den så mycket tanke utan bara tänkt att den skulle ligga och redirect:a till nya kontot till jag tog tag i det ordentligt. Vilket det tydligen är dags för 😅
@m Apropå cache så kör ju den servern Cloudron. Jag har inte satt mig in i hur cache-lösningen ser ut i den miljön för min Ghost-installation 😬
@m Japp, finns nog MASSOR att tweaka... då vet jag vad jag gör i helgen i alla fall!
Om du vill läsa det här inlägget föreslår jag att du sätter dig bekvämt, och kanske med en varm dryck. Det är långt. Nästan fem tusen ord.
Men jag har pysslat om texten och gjort allt jag kan för att den ska kännas relevant och givande hela vägen.
Det tar nog 20 minuter att läsa. Någon minut mer om du vill reflektera och spela upp visan med Konserverad gröt. Och klippet med Frankensteins monster.
Om du har ett intresse av att förstå AI-verktygen och vad den gör med och mot människor så tror jag du kommer gilla den.

Självklart går min server ner precis när jag delat ett nytt inlägg... gah. Vet inte vad som hände.

Listening to Tech Won’t Save us with Dan McQuillan, author of Resisting AI - An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence.

So there's a new network in town to compete with LinkedIn. I just got invited and you can use my "invite"-link to try it out as well. With 5 invites I get to use my own custom domain, which is a feature I approve of.

The fact that Microsoft’s chatbot keeps calling itself Sydney is hilarious, disturbing and revealing.
It’s such a great example of how Microsoft has no immediate control over their software.
Microsoft: ”We designed the Bing AI to minimise bias, racism and misogyny…”
Me: ”But why does the bot keep calling itself Sydney?”
Microsoft: ”Oh, we don’t know how to stop it from doing that.”
Me: ”Well that ’s reassuring.” *two ironic thumbs up*
Background: ”Sydney” is an internal MS codename for a previous, different chat experience. The Bing AI keeps surfacing it and using it to refer to itself.

> And woof, WHO is buying all this coaching?
I love this question! 😅

Some of the best writing on Ikigai I've read is by Kyle on Sloww.
This is a good summary of the different versions that have been making the rounds over the years:

@Maker
I would so join this club.
@Miniver
That's likely a part of my grudge as well. I believe I don't see eye to eye with many of my clients on what we are *truly* trying to achieve.
@steveportigal
This is truly helpful Steve. I needed to hear some of this today.
Your examples are great because they're making me reflect on how I did not ask but allowed myself to follow the things that felt like "me". If that makes sense.
I'm thinking that's what I have to do now as well but it's going to require a bit of vulnerability that I'm working up to. "Vulnerability" has become somewhat of a buzzword but it's the best way I can put it.
@christof
I hear that. I'm also "fed up with tech" but also want to help address the many things that are wrong with it. I knew when I got into ethics it would be difficult to sell services for this specifically. I've gotten a few speaking gigs because it works for "inspiration". But actually doing the right thing on a day-to-day basis... not a lot of interest for that.
I do have a 3-week ethics course I teach every year within a UX design program. That's perhaps closer to an answer for myself... teaching more.
@steveportigal
Thanks Steve. Agree, seeing A LOT of people doing coaching for example 😁
I guess part of it is I'm not a great salesperson and don't know how to break into some areas... like how do I approach a magazine to start writing a column, or what options there even are for working more on human rights issues.
I'm thinking too much and not "getting out there".
As I'm writing this I'm of course realising I should be using more of my UX expertise to approach all of this… *d'oh*
When you've spent 25 years building your personal brand within the field of UX and realise you don't want to work in UX anymore…
Honestly, it's a challenge.

@jt_rebelo
I don't think he is but I am hoping that'll get sorted with time.
I had a peek at the birdsite because I had to witness Haraldur Thorleifsson absolutely destroy Space Karen.
Nitter links to the conversations:
Haraldur’s favorite photo of himself.
Enjoy.
With regards to the non-apology from Space Karen I would just like to point out that upon termination it would appear Twitter owes Haraldur the full amount of the agreed purchase sum for the company he sold them. Figures are floating around but they are of course unconfirmed. That’s one reason to want him back in employment.
The other point is that mocking a person with a disability, unlawfully disclosing confidential health info, and also using that as an argument for letting them go (all this in public), won’t play well with labor laws. And Space Karen already has a long list of investigations into his mismanagement of his 44 billion dollar trashfire.
@bpedro
> it’s always been like that
Yup, we never should have started using them under the premises they dictated.
