A win for #privacy & #antitrust?
The @EU_Commission
has opened an in-depth investigation into @Google’s acquisition of @fitbit.
Main concerns:
⌚️ Too much / many data in one place
⚖️ Unfair advantage, ultimately stifling competition

We can all get much better when we realize that life (and games) are not all zero-sum games.
Resource management? Sure. But not zero sum.
New drinking game (in Dutch) 🥳 Kijk naar mijn 5.5 min #privacy pecha-kucha en drink als je dit hoort:
🍷 Naja = slokje wijn
🥃 Eigenlijk = 1 shotje
🍺 Umm = 1 bier, ad fundum
😵 Dit overleef je misschien niet.
@kat Surely no judgement from my side! I love to see people hack things to make them better.
My philosophy: if it seems stupid, but it works, then it ain’t stupid 😃
Very cool of you though to get permission from the owner before photographing. I wish more people would do that 🙏🏼
@kat This looks like the punchline of one of those “you might be a redneck if...” jokes 🚲
What a great way to start the week!
I’m thoroughly enjoying @deanbirkett’s workshop on #accessibility for #UX designers. Miro on the left for exercises, Zoom on the right for the presentation.

Last month, members of CCC testified in German parliament about the importance of anonymity tools in technopolitics: "Encryption & anonymization services such as Tor are fundamental for secure communication & protection of information from unauthorized access. For people affected by repression or surveillance, it's essential that encryption methods and anonymization services are neither weakened nor provided with backdoors."

“Hoe kan ik #privacy en gemak eigenlijk balanceren?” Over 45 minuten start de eerste digitale meetup van CRO Groningen, en we gaan vragen behandelen als:
Waarom is privacy nou zo belangrijk?
Hoe kan ik ethische #design keuzes maken?
Tot zo! 👇🏼

Defund Facial Recognition
I’m a second-generation Black activist, and I’m tired of being spied on by the police. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/07/defund-facial-recognition/613771/?utm_source=feed
Now there’s scientific evidence: taking care of dogs’ psychological well-being makes us happier, less distressed humans 🐕

Damn, I see what you mean. Sorry to hear about this, James! I’m quite happy with the FP3+eOS combo, so if you have the money and are interested, 9/10 I recommend!
I’m honored & grateful to have taught my first #UX Basics class yesterday! Together, we’re discovering how lawyers, software developers, writers, designers, librarians, & architects can benefit from learning UX.
Many thanks to @uxacademyNL & our amazing participants! 🙏🏼

Oh wow, really? Why do you regret it?

Maybe I’ve not been saying it loudly or frequently enough for the last however-many years…
Privacy is not a luxury.
Same with accessibility. Neither are luxuries, they’re life-sustaining rights. And you’re unusually privileged if you’ve not had to care about either.
