Reading Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport.
More considered intent is much needed for myself.

@inkblurt I've more and more started using Human-considerate design. Because, as you say, centered does not necessarily imply benevolence. And not all humans are the center of your solution but can be adversely affected anyway. I complement this with sustainable and inclusive.

@BetoORourke From my perspective the "wife-in-awe" stage setup for this video is cringe-worthy.
↪ Replying to @JesperBylund
@JesperBylund It's been available since Sierra from what I understand :) I just had no idea.
Okay, here's a neat trick for Safari on your Mac: Ctrl-click (or right-click) twice on a movie that is playing and choose "Enter Picture in Picture". The movie will now play in a floating window on top of all other windows and you can multi-task like a pro ;)

We live in a time when the department in charge of well-being at work is called Human Resources.
That says something.
↪ Replying to @sookio
@sookio I’m assuming there actually is strategic thinking behind not showing them as equals. i.e. that will gain more support. Which of course is a scary thought.
↪ Replying to @DangerousDolly
@DangerousDolly Yeah, @JesperBylund was correct in pointing out how it’s closer to home in America than I maybe like to acknowledge. It’s a good reminder of how our culture at least pushes gender equality in a more transparent way.
↪ Replying to @JesperBylund
@JesperBylund Yes, it absolutely stems from my culture. I always try to be mindful of writing ”I believe” and ”what I see”.
It just felt important sharing how I feel his message clashes with his presentation. But you’re right, for a lot of people this is also just normal.

@TrueFactsStated It’s been back-tracked though... radionz.co.nz/news/national/…
As a foreigner unfamiliar with O’Rourke I just wanted to share what I see in this video. A silent woman. x.com/BetoORourke/st…
And then when I googled him this is the FIRST story that came up:
Beto O'Rourke apologizes for jokes about wife, says he has benefited from 'white privilege'
edition.cnn.com/2019/03/15/pol…
I believe this whole ”wife-in-awe” look is really off-putting to a lot of people.

The problem with asking "What happened to schools/newspapers/discourse/tv/jobs/etc?" is that many small things are happening constantly over time. And are happening right now.
I'd much rather be asking: "What path do we want to be on and how do we understand if we are on it?"
↪ Replying to @wickedgeekie
@wickedgeekie @harrybr I love how you framed the benefits of this and have been thinking "Why don't we ever apply 'cheap and sturdy' as a design goal?"
.@SvD Har försökt bli digital prenumerant i ett par dagar. Får bara en "loader" i all oändlighet när jag trycker på "Fortsätt" från beställningsformuläret. Är då redan inloggad. Gäller både desktop och mobil. Inte jättebra för er lönsamhet kanske...?
IBM using Creative Commons photos from Flickr for its facial recognition training is one of those things we need to be talking about.
It really is something these license could not possibly have anticipated.
