@wolf480pl No worries, it just means we thought of the same thing :)
@wolf480pl Yes, that's the line in the footer of the poster. 😊
@Fluyar Looks like a great book, thanks!
@cgruenloh Exactly… this focus on being ”optimistic”, as if it’s a religion. I compare it to being asked to talk about guns, with the instruction ”Just be optimistic and don’t talk about all the bad they can be used for. We already have laws against killing people so there’s no need to spend time on that. Talk about the great, transformative things they can be used for. Stay positive! It’s not like we can stop the future. Nobody likes a pessimist.”
And in my head I’m always ”I’m not a pessimist. I’m an optimist who believes we can do much better. Pessimism to me is resigning to an imagined inevitability.”
@Emiliagnathus I get to teach a 3-week ethics in design course at a trade school every autumn and it's one of the most rewarding things I do. This will be year 8(!) The AI hype certainly put a spin on things. Lots of good debate.

Jag gillar särskilt beskrivningen av hur det kunde ha fortlöpt, om man hade koll på läget, som ett pedagogiskt exempel. Fler behöver förstå vad det innebär att ta ansvar och sköta arbetet på ett förtroendeingivande sätt.
Men hela texten är jättebra.
@waspfactory @magnusjonasson Haha. Smurf.
@waspfactory @magnusjonasson Ja, lite mer sansat på SR.

@waspfactory @magnusjonasson Lustigt nog vaccinerade jag mig mot difteri förra veckan. Egentligen mot stelkramp, men det är samma spruta i Sverige; DTP = difteri, tetanus (stelkramp), pertussis (kikhosta)
@kolombiken Hahaha!! 'Normater' är guld.
@kolombiken Tack! Bra feedback. Håller verkligen med, samtidigt som det kan bli lite mycket i ett kort avtal. Önskar jag hade ett samlingsbegrepp för vita, medelålders neurotypiska cis-män utan funktionsnedsättningar, och ett motsatsord. 😅
Så här ser det ut just nu:
"Jag är mån om mångfald och inkludering. Om ett arrangemang har en stor övervikt av talare som representerar ett snävt urval av erfarenheter eller identiteter (ofta neurotypiska män som jag själv) så avstår jag hellre min plats, och förbehåller mig rätten att dra mig ur."
@stephenpa @andrewhinton Really, really good framework and great reflections Stephen!! I appreciate this: "Honestly, there are so many ethical issues, this box should be triple the size!"
@the_lemonaut Love these!! Do you have them on a web page I can share around?
@TerryBTwo Thanks Terry! I see what you mean. I'll see what I can do about that… I think I'm stuck seeing so many options or paths I found it hard to be as strict. But yes, perhaps better to be more strict in the criteria, which would require strongly motivated reasoning to deviate.

It's like they were asking, "how can we make this tech even more detrimental to the environment?"
And with environment I mean both nature and social spaces.
@TomasHelleberg Yes, I believe so, but I also appreciate the significance of passing with higher numbers on all counts. It’s not entirely unlikely that there are votes in there that may be discounted, or put into question by those objecting to a ban.
@mralancooper Close but not quite I'd say. Perhaps each instance is a cooperative. But the bigger the instance the less of a voice you have in influencing its direction, relationships with other instances (like blocks), internal moderation and financing.
Mastodon isn't really a cooperative either as very few people are controlling what features are built and which are ignored. Participants have very little say.
I've chosen other software not because it gives me more influence over development but I like that it's smaller and it works better for my way of participating in the Fediverse. A 1-person instance does give me influence over the instance culture though, haha.😛
@PavelASamsonov Truly makes it hard to find motivation for a lot of work.
