@amrancz Fascinating. This is what I really think could make it work in podcast format. Modern history through the lens of defenestration.

@JaredFossey I blocked the bot. Botting is bad. Blocking is good.
In my mind I defenestrated the bot.

@JaredFossey From what I understand, defenestration implies that the window breaks. Fenestration would be putting the window in. It works in context: In 1452, King James II of Scotland murdered William Douglas, 8th Earl of Douglas, with his own hands and defenestrated him at Stirling Castle.
@JaredFossey The root is latin for window: fenestra
@JaredFossey Some really fascinating etymology here. A bit of a Swedish lesson too =) Fenestration is the arrangement of window within a façade.

Yesterday I learned the word defenestration and about the long list of notable defenestrations. It means to throw someone out a window. It made me want to start a long-running podcast talking about defenestrations since Queen Jezebel in 9th century BC. Ominous, but educational.

To truly copy #Clubhouse, the other platforms would have to remove direct messaging.
I believe it's important to note the little things that make a big difference.
What are some UX related blog posts that have caught your attention over the past week or two?
"Allen’s findings indicate that, as a result of colonialism, extreme poverty in 20th century Asia was significantly worse than under 13th century feudalism. Progress, it would appear, is not a one-way street."

"There’s a final observation from Allen’s paper that’s worth pointing out. Allen finds that the $1.90/day (PPP) line is lower than the level of consumption of enslaved people in the United States in the 19th century."
"In other words, the poverty threshold the World Bank uses, and which underpins the progress narrative, is below the level of enslavement. It is striking that anyone would accept this as a reasonable benchmark for “progress” in a civilized society."

Finnish has gender neutral pronouns. When seeing other examples of prejudice in Google Translate, people often assert that context matters. In this example, despite the wording, Google won't even understand that these are three sentences about the same person. AI for the win.

@JennyTheolin @CircleApp All digital services should realize they need a $5/month entrypoint for freelancers, who are generally also wonderful ambassadors for the products in the end. We don't just use one service, we use a lot.
I have a TAC-2 somewhere in storage that I can't see myself ever throwing away. If you know what a TAC-2 is you know how old I am and what games I likely enjoyed 😅
Just realised I should find it and display it in my studio.

@JennyTheolin Looked at @CircleApp ? I've been meaning to try it out.
@JennyTheolin @CircleApp Steep price point though...
