BAMAMA.
Acronym for the companies stealing most of the world’s attention.
ByteDance Apple Microsoft Alphabet Meta Amazon.
Used in a sentence:
”I was hoping for nice, quiet day without disturbances but then I stepped in the BAMAMA.”
I’m aware ”ByteDance” may cause some confusion. It’s the Chinese company that owns TikTok.

@fraying @cydharrell Here's the part in their privacy policy that mentions this. It's one of the creepiest privacy policies I've read to be honest.
Essentially they make deals with the platforms we all use, that already have our email. When we use our apps to visit a site, our data is shared.
@fraying @cydharrell Even worse, what they're really saying here is that if they can figure out who you are based on the account you visited from (or a cookie), they can go to your profile and scrape any public info and use that. Would not surprise me if some of this is manual labor.

@leondoughty @YChalt @amanda_m_macias There is no leap. The March 7 number includes March 5 and 6.

@amanda_m_macias This is how I read these numbers, acknowledging that the first number likely should be spread out over several days prior. I have also averaged March 5, 6 and 7 based on the single March 7 number. (I see people interpreting an increase, while the numbers are quite steady.)

@grenfeldt @LarssonNM @OAJonsson Jag håller med dig. Jag kände också att många lyfter denna tweet som exempel på eskalering, men att man inte tar till sig av att siffran är ackumulerad. Gör sig därför mycket bättre som stapeldiagram.

@grenfeldt @LarssonNM @OAJonsson Ja, så här läser jag siffrorna. Iofs vare sig sjunkande eller stigande... utan snarare konstant, vilket är tillräckligt otäckt.
Asking if it's okay to record when everyone is already in the meeting does not provide basis for a well-founded consent. Consent is not consent with audience peer pressure.

Min meditationsform är att rita på min iPad. Igår blev det en modern tolkning av “En svensk tiger”.

@peterkz_swe @LisaHeino Tänker att man kombinera det med ett varningssystem...
stresstålig = företaget kan inte planera
tar egna initiativ = arbetsbeskrivning saknas
positiv = vi gillar inte om du har dåliga dagar
flexibel = stå ut med allt du får tilldelat
lagspelare = du får inte jobba hemifrån
osv
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

One of my oldest friends doesn't have a private email account. He still maintains and uses his massive CD collection.
He just emailed me from his girlfriend's account because "long time" and he wants me to attend the 🏍 fair with him. It's the first email I ever got from him. ❤️
This has nothing to do with conscious avoidance, security or "taking a stand". Just complete disinterest. And I love him for it. It's very grounding.
He will call me at least thrice a year to check in, make plans or wish happy birthday. I'm frustratingly bad at doing any of these types of things and staying in touch but it's like he's a constant in my life that I could not muster losing.
That's him, way in the back in a gray t-shirt. 😊
And hell yeah, we're going to the motorcycle fair in May.

@rachelcoldicutt Ah the solidity of surveys 😅
Crazy number of comment sections that enrage me but I don't engage in... somewhat proud of myself. But sometimes I think I should actually write the response, just keep it to myself and publish it in my memoirs. 😅
I recently subscribed to the brilliant and talented @Abby_the_IA's newsletter because she had the perfect pitch: it allows her to spend less time on social media. eepurl.com/hcNCBb
Epic.
You can do the same for me obviously (if you can find it)

@round Today! This morning! And I was talking to @beantin about how long ago it was I did this.
I'm working on breaking down a medical test result response into information components for templating purposes. It's incredibly rewarding.

@augmentedrobot I see it multiple times per day and I'm not surprised it's common practice. The "social media gurus" swear by it. I'm thinking of writing a post to highlight how people with visual, cognitive and motor impairments will have a much harder time finding your link and clicking it.
