Excellent post by the brilliant designer Ben Raine: "AI reflects the data it’s trained on. That data rarely represents the diversity of people who use government services. Without inclusive research and co-design, the risk of exclusion and discrimination is high." medium.com/p/red-lines-...

Just because we can, doesn't mean we should.

Feeling panicky, worried, 'other' and fearful. Seems like that's the purpose of this. Classic tactics used throughout history.

This is such a great example of traffic on it’s own being a vanity metric. Always have your checks and balances too

I am trying my best to ignore the incessant news fest from 'over there' *waves vaguely towards the Atlantic ocean. But this morning I thought I had a different pair of trousers on until about an hour ago. How's your day going?

Seven years. Seven years of getting logged out of the same system, having to ask to get reinstated, why? Because I couldn't see my password when I typed it in. First time with the option to see my password? I did it correctly. #Accessibility it works!

Doesn't change a thing about what I *think* I know about you... that is someone who is passionate about his work, helps others and supports making digital things better for everyone. ❤️

I know my Bluesky profile is exceedingly suspect (no avatar, low post count, handful of followers), but I’m definitely a legit human, and happy to buy a couple of Camp Digital tickets for folks in early stages of career. The Nexer bods are matching me too, so do pass it on. Thanks.

You can learn more ( I'm really not an expert!) from the Dyscalculia Network, sorry my WiFi is playing up or I'd add the URL 😍

So it's different for everyone but there are similarities. Like you always have an issue with numbers in calculations or reading numbers formats correctly - it doesn't matter how long you study or hard you try...

Hey there! Yeah... it's of course complicated ( seriously what isn't right?) but I like to think of it as shades of gray. I'd have different strengths and weaknesses to another person, as Caroline describes...

After a pretty hard few weeks at work, I'd just like to give a shout out. Co-op content community is one of the most engaged, enthusiastic and just plain brill group of folk. You gave me such a massive boost and welcomed me with such warmth and kindness ❤️ Thank you 🤩

Ah International Women's Day. The same week I had to explain the concept of part time working twice to tech support. ( No I'm not working tomorrow). Who then also repeatedly ignored me by not listening/reading my actual tech issue. Forget the big gestures, check your bias.

Little known fact. Whenever I'm rolling my eyes at the latest tech bro outburst of 'AI will fix everything' I think of @curiousscutter.bsky.social banging out The Terminator theme on his pan. Every time.
