Just got my keys for the neighbourhood. A part-time #writer, full-time procrastinator.
I love writing; random aspiration would be #fiction podcast writing 😅

@cypnk it makes my skin crawl. you would hope they'd have thought of that beforehand 🤦🏾♀️
@smashingsecurity @gcluley @bittner this was truly a good one. Really leaning into the chaotic energy of 2023, chums 😂
Smashing Security podcastAI-generated voices are weaponised by online trolls, how ChatGPT reflects who we are as a society, and social media is in the firing line again.
All this and much much more is discussed in the latest edition of the “Smashing Security” #podcast by computer security veterans @gcluley and Carole Theriault, joined this week by The Cyberwire’s @bittner
@cypnk that is so icky! Why have an "assistant" set up in places where PII is being discussed?
@NLK that is absolutely beautiful!
Deborah Rose ReevesNo better book to set the mood for the new year and days ahead.
Resolve to rest. Resolve to daydream and imagine and nap. Resolve to understand, to truly understand, that you are already and always enough.

@amaditalks at first, I thought it was just a filter. Like an "I only want people who follow me to see this content" filter. It's the blurring that clued me in (as I'd never clicked on it while posting; not sure why that is not commonly understood, or respected.
This also makes me wonder how screen readers are "translating" content that has a CW since you can over-write them with notes on what the warning is...
#Accessibility definitely needs to be universal, even in the Masto siloes.
Mx. Amadi LovelaceThe appropriation of "content warnings" on this platform is increasingly disturbing. I just saw a professional writer asked to CW links to their work as "self promotion."
Content warnings are an ACCESSIBILITY TOOL to provide guidance to vulnerable people that material might trigger serious emotional disturbance, panic attacks and/or PTSD symptoms. CW means "this could impact your health" not "you might not want to see this."
It's like kids using the ramp into a building as a bike jump.
@ashleyjjwhite happy to be part of this tiny slice of the world (and thanks @jimmypop for helping me find it!)
I'm already feeling more motivated to write!
