@jfslicer To underscore how valid your point is, it made me think of why I’m never satisfied with machine translations of my own writings from English to Swedish or vice versa. I write differently depending on language.

I wrote my university dissertation on translation of fictional work, so I suppose it shouldn’t surprise me 😅. I’m more intent on how the target group hears and understands my message, than staying exactly true to the original text.

But I also won’t use words that don’t feel like “me”.

@jfslicer This is very true. I should have been more clear that they have posted in English before, giving me an idea of their proficiency and voice, and some I’ve attended events with that have been in English. The difference now is that these are long-form posts with rather advanced phrasing and words. I’m experiencing a clear and sudden change in tonality from at least a handful of people.

@jt_rebelo I obviously can’t know for sure (which is part of the problem), but it sure feels like it.

Some of my contacts on LinkedIn have started to more often post English content (previously Swedish). And they use elaborate wording I’ve never seen them use before, and would not expect them to use (due to my previous understanding of their English-language abilities).

I understand the desire to post more in English. Of course I do. But it really, really doesn’t sound like them at all anymore.

And naturally this makes me wonder how much actually is them.

And this whole development is all very sad to me.

Trustworthiness is becoming more scarce.

It’s really terrifying though when I find some of the small-town stations… 😬

Love the site https://radio.garden/ to listen to live radio around the world. Today I am playing “US election roulette” and tuning in to local radio stations across the US.

@malveus Hahaha 😂 den hade jag inte sett faktiskt.

@anders Looks amazing. What do you use for iOS then? (I do like to have the same app for both)

I saw people mention a boy who does bird calls and of course I had to look it up.

Like many others I am… floored.

”I’m saving so much time with AI” – person spending the same amount of time in front of their computer as always but generating twice the amount of information per hour for thousands of others to waste their time on.

@Bernard I get this and you’re right to call it out, but I would also like to make the case that western conceptions of intelligence can, and should, be challenged.

I understand that some groups of people who have not been overly exposed to western thinking include more social obligations in the idea of intelligence, such as people in rural areas of Zambia who use 'nzelu' (intelligence) to include both cleverness (chenjela) and responsibility (tumikila). And the Luo people in rural Kenya incorporate ‘luoro’ into their idea of intelligence, which includes social qualities like respect, responsibility and consideration.

For me it makes much more sense not to award the attribute of intelligence to people whose actions contribute to harm, and I believe it would be beneficial to dismiss the idea that intelligence can be coupled with bad intent.

The current western conception of intelligence certainly also contributes to tech billionaires being interviewed about climate change – because they are “intelligent” – with disregard for any sense of domain knowledge.

I’m well aware that my hope for this is a big ask. 😉

If you submit as evidence for a person being intelligent that they created a hugely profitable company that harmed thousands of people along the way, you lost your argument before you finished your sentence.

@abbe98 Good point. That would be worth checking and taking into account. Gah, so many side-experiments going on 😅

I don't use the LinkedIn app on my phone. However, the phone interface is missing some features… such as viewing reposts, or liking as a page. The interface tells me to install the app.

Except! If you choose "Request Desktop Site" in your mobile browser you get a full responsive version of the desktop site that can do everything.

So bizarre. Why even build the mobile version… oh wait, unless it's to force app installs? 😜

That should indicate how immensely valuable it is for LinkedIn if you install the app.

@joho 😂

@joho Tack Joaquim. Exakt, jag har använt Yourls i säkert 10 år…

Nu är texten om Bris-kampanjen och QR-koden publicerad. 😊

Hur många hopp mellan domäner kan en kampanj ha? Och hur slarvig kan en reklambyrå vara? Läs granskningen för det rafflande svaret.

I will continue to not understand vertical filming…

That's not how my eyes are placed on my head. 🤷‍♂️

@troed Ja! Tack för den. Jag hade vid någon tidpunkt det här med Libyen i bakhuvudet men visste inte vad jag skulle göra av det. Så är det ju rent konkret förstås. Ännu en aktör med makt att förändra spelplanen.

@voxpelli @kolombiken Ja det håller jag verkligen med om att det inte är helt lätt att veta hur man ska göra med ip-adressen…

En del i detta är ju att jag vill att en organisation som Bris ska vara mer försiktig och gärna ta alla tillfällen i akt att lära sin målgrupp om risker på Internet.

Jag kan dela en förhandsgranskning av artikeln med er i DM. Tänkte vänta till imorgon med att publicera eftersom jag känner att jag behöver sova en del på vissa frågeställningar. 😅

@voxpelli @kolombiken

Absolut! 👍

@voxpelli @kolombiken

Skulle det vara ok att citera denna finding från dig i mitt blogginlägg:

"De har Google Tag Manager på kampanjsidan, som försöker ladda in såväl Google Analytics som LinkedIn annonsgrejs.

Och de sätter cookies, utan att cookie-banner visats och accepterats.

Det är inte rätt gjort."

Alltid bra med fler röster 😊

@voxpelli @kolombiken

Jag var helt säker på att bit.ly sätter cookies för att de säger det själva i intervjuer, men de verkar de alltså inte göra… intressant.

ip-adress är ju lite av ett problem, beroende på hur det används.

@voxpelli @kolombiken

Ja jag noterade också att Frankfam-sidan kör GTM. Håller på och skriver ett inlägg om detta men det var mycket att gräva i 😅

Men du tänker alltså att inget samtycke behövs för cookie och insamling som sker hos Bitly? (ah, jag såg ditt svar nu)
