@Iamkingsleyf @getreplybox @A5hleyRich @pixels4lyf @disqus Did you ever get a reply? Been trying for months to reach replybox…

@kolombiken I paid for it. And am paying for it... crazy. @getreplybox I'm paying for but haven't gotten a response from in two(!) months.
@kolombiken @getreplybox The other one was commento.io - at least he gave me my money back when he realised he couldn't provide a reasonable level of support...
↪ Replying to @kolombiken
@kolombiken I've tried two that were promising but they both failed by ghosting me when I needed support.

The information we feed machines in abundance to "learn" is fundamentally old data. Companies are expecting old data to lead to better, more future-friendly decisions, when realistically it churns out decision-making machines with a dated 'understanding' of society.
You can now pre-order @epenzeymoog’s book Design For Safety!
In it you’ll find out how even the most well-intentioned design can be weaponized for interpersonal harm, and what you can do about it.

"As an optimist who believes in solving real problems, the profit-first culture began to drain me. Leadership always seemed to prioritize profitable features over user problems."

I’m not really big on sports, but when Sweden are playing in a football championship, and are in the knockout stages, I go kind of crazy. 😬 Hence I’m weirdly in love with this Will Ferrell cheer. Game starts in four hours.
