Optimize a broken system and it is still broken.

Anything that can be misunderstood will be misunderstood to the power of h8 on Twitter.
If only you knew what mess the adoption of Halloween means in Sweden. Some know it's Oct 31, some think it's All Saint's Eve, which in Sweden is always a Friday. Some think on All Saint's Day.
Which means trick-or-treaters basically come all week (it's also autumn break)!!

@catthu The only way we could ensure this level of privacy is if the operating systems built these tiers of access into core functionality. Why do you think they do not?
I would like to see it as an oversight, but the app store concept was launched 10 years ago.
This captures my emotions on Riverdale so well I now know I need to set aside time for Sabrina. Thank you @asarahlarson. I think 😁

Oh hell yeah. Dex meets Matt Murdock. If you know what I'm talking about you know what I'm talking about. 👊

@beantin @patrikmalmberg Both are to blame. I can tolerate some short-sightedness, but once it’s glaringly obvious how much of a privacy invasion this is (which was years ago) they should be responding to fix that.
The longer this goes on the more regulation will come, which also can be good or bad.
For educational purposes:
When apps ask for access to your entire photo library they are not asking for access to the pic you are uploading. They are asking for access to your entire photo library, which includes geotags, faces, and timestamps.
It’s a dataset, not just photos.
I’m not saying all apps use this data but the binary trait of photo access is a privacy issue. Apple made it slightly better in iOS 11 with the option of write-only access, but we still have a long way to go for privacy by design here.
Succinct and thoughtful analysis of the importance of getting paid for your primary product. And what this has meant for the state that journalism finds itself in today.

The number of people now believing that someone got arrested for putting fake arrow decals on the floor of an IKEA store would be an interesting data point. But it brings up the question: does it matter if people believe this story or not?

@odannyboy It would be even more funny if it was true. ;)

The text in the full story is quite wild. "People made use the display toilets, a woman almost gave birth on a carpet, a man was sleeping on the couch..."

Just finished writing my next newsletter. I expect to send it out tomorrow. It’s a very infrequent newsletter and contains my personal reflections on what’s up in my work life. If that makes you curious I’d love to welcome you as a subscriber.

@JesseLewReviews @simon_norris @bathdigital Excellent use-case. So happy you like it. Keep me updated on how that goes! You may also get more ideas from my workshop slides and/or workbook: axbom.eu/mostly-harmles…
I'm looking for a full-size keyboard for an iPad Pro 10.5".
Anyone have any good experiences with one? I've looked at foldable ones but am still skeptical. Any input appreciated.
Personalized thumbnaul images on @Netflix. The main problem here is secrecy around the algorithm; this article does a balanced analysis. Good one @nitashatiku

@MischaAndrews @kolombiken Seeing your profile pic, I now have to include Rusa in my presentation.😀
Twitter is my jam.
There are some wild and worrying statements in this story.
e.g. ”utilize the best moral theories that philosophy has to offer” and ”we should take public opinion with a grain of salt”.
Unsurprisingly, the word ”accountability” is nowhere to be found.
