When you have a qr code on a presentation slide you are welcoming people to take out their phones and get distracted by any notifications that happen to have appeared on screen, or just by the habit of tapping a specific app to check messages.
I actually miss business cards. But yeah, I still have a business card variant (just a url) that I sometimes hand out.

@emilymbender Wow, this is a great report with so many useful references. Thank you for sharing!
@blogdiva Thank you for teaching me the word jingoistic, I'm not sure I had even seen that word before. š
@kaffeeringe Thanks Steffen!
Instead of a traditional online forum I am considering starting a mailing list (think listserv). Some of my best best online conversations were on mailing lists in the late 90s. And e-mail is, after all, pretty cool.
Oh yeah, Iāve just been reading about how Slack is now ingesting your messages for their AI ātrainingā.

The foundational fallacy of harmful behavior and systemic injustice.
Just seeing so much of it right now. š¢
@datarama Yes, that's exactly it. š
@ingemar I had it on VHS when living in a country without television, so Iāve seen it multiple times š
@ambivalena Woot!? Galet.
It's an odd one, but I think the movie Cherry 2000 was formative to me.
Made in 1985, released in 1988, it's a Mad Max-esque adventure where a tracker (Melanie Griffith) is helping a businessman (David Andrews) find an out-of-production fembot in the post-apocalyptic desert wastelands of the future, to replace his animatronic wife that breaks down at the start of the film.
The year in the movie is 2017. Cherry 2000 is the name of the discontinued robot wife.
Needless to say, businessman Treadwell learns that an animatronic partner perhaps isn't the right future for him.
Anyone else remember this film?

Started rewatching Veronica Mars. Wow I love this show.
@mkj I believe youāre right but it would also be nice to to see someone having done the test run. In cases like this it feels there are so many ways for it to backfire š
@mxfraud Lovely. Iāve had it in my mind to move to Migadu for a while now. Intrigued by them ever since I read their Pro/Cons page. So refreshingly honest.

@scott Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately my email is so public I get loads of requests every day from people who want to āpublish unique contentā on my blog.
Does anyone know of an email service, add-on or tutorial that allows for mimicing the one feature that intrigues me about HEY e-mail: opt-in for receiving emails from someone.
i.e. the default would be that someone who is not yet an approved sender ends up in a separate inbox where I have to confirm if I want to keep receiving email from them or not. I think HEY calls this āthe screenerā.
Or if youāve tried this fature and donāt like it, that would be cool to hear about as well.
