I've been feeling a building impulse to stop using Gmail for my personal email and calendar, and somehow today became the day that I moved over.

Really annoys me that #Roku is interjecting adverts as menu options in the home screen. They have the ad space on the right. Do they really need to add Home Screen menu options like these new Hart movies? It messes up learned behavior and you waste time accidentally going there. You have to manually update your home screen options, if you can find them in settings, to turn the new options off as they decide to add them. No offense to Kevin Hart movies intended #tech #Marketing #ads

So, preamble:
I'm an Android guy from before launch.
I wanted an iPhone 3S, then I found out that there was no way to activate it under Linux.
Android wasn't even out.
I saved money and as soon as it released, I bought a HTC G1.
That's the backstory.
I'm into customizing my phone a LOT and I will sometimes show off how it looks because I really enjoy sharing that.

Big #Tech and #InfoSec has a hiring disorder. They over hire without constraint when the market says “good” and the moment there is any blip they purge. This is both a real problem and more than an analogy to a serious medical issue.

This has been a worsening trend over the last decade and it’s really become noticed. Seeing the impact of the humans who are affected by this behavior is heartbreaking. And it’s not the execs who do this that are impacted, they are incented to do this, their rewards are based on market performance, which is the driver of this behavior.

So we have leaders who are rewarded for creating and continuing this model. People are our greatest asset my ass. You’ve lost the right to say that.

There will be an upswing. Again. That’s what markets do. The question will be whether people remember this and choose not to participate. There is now a much bigger set of opportunities outside these Big Tech orgs that are both as rewarding (in money and satisfaction) and way more fun without all the baggage and tax you pay to be in those environments.

To all those impacted, I say again, you did nothing wrong, it’s not you, there’s a whole world out here that is amazing, and what you have learned working in those places is valuable, really valuable. Just navigating the complexities, rallying people behind an idea, Influencing without control … all incredibly impactful skills. Not to mention the technology knowledge you have.

There are many people on LI and other places offering to chat and help, take a breath, and then use your time to chat to them, you will gain both some confidence and some nuggets of advice that will get you going again.

I will always have time on #TheIntersection for people to book a slot to talk. I will make the time.

One of my greatest irritants today is a company telling its users to access their website and tools via the #Chrome browser.

For one, why do these companies push people into the privacy invasive and unsecured #Google world? Second, and more fundamentally, who are these web design clowns creating sites and online tools that fail to be platform independent? Both go against every principal of the #Internet

What #tech makes you want to scream into the void?

For me it’s #USBC hubs/docks!

In principle they are a great solution but in practice often have TERRIBLE design.

But the thing that makes me want to choose violence is the ones that have just 2 USB (A/B) like who only needs 2 usb ports at there desk?!

Things I need to plug in:
1. Keyboard dongle
2. Mouse Dongle
[now out of USB’s]
3. Webcam
4. Studio mic

Trying to find a USBC dock that has 4 USB’s and HDMI is really hard!

Whisper to transcribe live audio from conversations

One of the most absurd surveillance schemes I've seen for a while. Germany is using an AI to scan thousands of web pages, social posts, and messaging apps to detect porn.

They're then reporting people to the police for not having age verification measures in place. (Even where it is literally impossible to do so). More than 100 people in recent months have been reported to the police in Berlin.

I spoke with some of those facing criminal prosecutions, fines, and potential jail sentences for posting porn to Twitter.

The tech industry wants to be seen as part of the solution to climate change. But as a new UN report sounds the alarm, we need to call out how tech is used to distract from action we must be taking to rapidly cut emissions.

We have all the technology we need to rapidly cut emissions globally, but we lack the political will—and that’s in part because tech silver bullets are used to justify delay and to distract us from that reality.
