The data points for the big gen AI companies being unsustainable seem pretty strong. I am not happy - these extractive ghouls have made sure there are no good outcomes.

You see a lot of weirdos who assume the "chosen people" shit is about Jewish Supremacism but really the idea is that you have more responsibility. In Judaism, Gentiles are good w/ God if they follow the 7 Laws of Noah whereas Jews have 613. You're Gods favorite but it's KIND of a fuckin burden lol

It shouldn’t be a struggle for anyone to afford food. That shouldn’t be something that we’re okay with as a human species. Everyone should have a decent home to go back to and enough to eat.

In most places I've worked, I've heard someone say "communication from the organisation could be better" which is easy for decision-makers to think that's something that can be fixed with the right email or meeting.

Mandatory training. Then mandatory monitoring and feed that back into performance reviews. And have leaders model the behaviours you need. All the pieces matter.

If you are not sure if it's worth the effort of stick foil on the outside of loft windows to reduce the heat they radiate inside - even with the blinds drawn - please let me support you in this moment. Best guess it reduces heat by over two thirds.

The accessibility industry - thoughts I have had in no particular order: • if anyone should be able to make a living from commodifying the exclusion of disabled people, it should be disabled people • ableism is endemic and leaving it all to disabled people to 'fix' is not ok

“A rapidly expanding network of organisations campaigning against trans rights is shaping media coverage and political debate across the UK, while trans people are increasingly excluded from reporting about their own lives.” Powerful conservative groups orchestrate much of our transphobic politics.

Hot take: By the time a 'tooltip' is designed to work with keyboard and touch it's now a 'reveal and hide' design pattern Hotter take: if your text is needed you should not hide it Hottest take: if your design only looks good if you hide needed content, your design is shite

Perhaps use government regulation to stop companies offering ‘unsafe apps’ to everyone? If the product is bad then age is irrelevant.
