↪ Replying to @jonathansulo
@jonathansulo @GoDaddy True, but I’m using them only for a TLD that I couldn’t register in Sweden. Which is likely also why they had no idea they were suggesting a domain to the person who owns it.
@jonathansulo Anyway, this experience gave me material for my ethics course and I got a good reminder to delete my account there asap. :)

@round Aphantasia. I have this to some degree. I struggle to see anything.

I encourage people to keep tabs on GoDaddy’s ”misfiring algorithm”.
I’ll happily include any examples sent to me when I teach on ethics in tech and design. x.com/GoDaddyHelp/st…
Still, rather impressive to code a system that can read a date, not only interpret November as February, but also interpret a non-available domain as available, and send out a marketing e-mail based on this. And when called on it, call the error an unintentional misfire. 😂😭
So this is some corrupt deceit by @godaddy. An e-mail telling me that axbom.com is available to register today. I’ve owned that domain since 1998 and it’s nowhere close in time to the renewal date. It got me stressed, made me click, and made me furious. Bravo.
If anyone is wondering what the asterisk indicates, the text is basically ”This message is no guarantee for specific domain name availability, just that they were available February 7.”
Just blatantly false.
Wash your hands. It’s just always good advice.

You know those lists about how you should live to become a successful entrepreneur? Well, this one by @anildash is the first one ever I can thoroughly agree with.

@brightspaceux Great idea. Would be fun to get a scientist on to get real about interpreting science.
↪ Replying to @Marm_Design
@brightspaceux Absolutely agree. The danger is mainly when readers assume his interpretations of research are always good guides to the actual research.

@brightspaceux His books are enjoyable, but also read some of his critics - many from the science community :) I would agree that there is a lot of oversimplification going on.

↪ Replying to @arnklint
@arnklint @rikkipitt 👍 This is what I'm doing when using burnermail.io now. I have my own custom domain name hooked up to it so should that service ever die, then I can still recover e-mail and associated accounts.
↪ Replying to @rikkipitt
@rikkipitt @arnklint One thing I'm realizing is that I'm a tiny bit nervous about having my primary e-mail directed to a domain name I have no control over. I suppose a requested future feature would likely be paid custom domain names, as a way to monetize as well.
@rikkipitt @arnklint By "primary e-mail" I mean that some of the services I use now have only the domain name paced.email on record for me.
If you want some notifications via e-mail, just not as they happen, this service is a lifesaver. x.com/arnklint/statu…
↪ Replying to @rikkipitt
@rikkipitt @arnklint It's such a great idea. And beautifully implemented. I've registered an account and will be test driving it. Hopefully I'll have time to write a review :)

@mazi_mazur @wojtekkutyla @malka6 @weenerdawg @odajay @beantin 1. Be curious. About everything
2. Be a good, active listener (if you're doing interviews)
3. Invest in good microphones
4. Release episodes on a regular schedule
5. Don't assume listeners understand the jargon...
(Off the top of my head. And I can't count.)
↪ Replying to @quanders
@quanders Yes exactly. And the primary reason to use haveibeenpwned is to remind yourself to keep different passwords for different services. And having different e-mails really avoids hackers guessing your account username.
E-mail is great for exchanging messages across the internet.
But, if I could start again:
1. I would never give my e-mail address to a company.
2. I would never subscribe to a newsletter using the same address that I use for messaging.
I am slowly backtracking to fix this.
So, for companies I provide temporary e-mail addresses if they just need to send me a reply.
Something like burnermail.io or yopmail.com might work for you.
And for e-mail subscriptions I use @feedbin

One thing I love about podcasts, that is too rarely put forward as a feature, is that you can readily listen to them without being tracked. RSS supports privacy by design, by default.
Nobody requests your e-mail address or phone number to press play. Let’s keep it that way.
