1. Last week I got this question from a consultancy: "Is it really necessary with Help functionality for this medical application? It is our assessment that UI should be built so a Help function is not needed."

I'm glad it wasn't asked to my face because I wanted to scream.
2. There are many people with both temporary and permanent cognitive impairments who need help in getting started and reminded. People with vision loss and a variety of neurological disorders are often helped by clear guidance and explanations.
3. Saying it should be "simple enough for no help to be required" unfortunately puts on display a lack of understanding for a broader population and the various needs of different people. Without help functionality fewer people will be able to use your service.

1. I love the idea of Ikigai, but more so the original concept than the recent, western pop-version.

I bet many are familiar with the venn diagram showing the intersection of

* what you love
* what you are good at
* what the world needs and
* what you can be paid for
2. That diagram was originally just a concept for life purpose and not really related to Ikigai (at all)

The western, capitalist remake of course moved the focus away from human experience to growth of capital, as if these concepts are necessarily intertwined.
3. In reality Ikigai is about

* a life worth living, the happiness and benefit of being alive, and
* something to live for, the joy and goal of living

1: Today I have listened in on #Clubhouse rooms with participants who

* have speech impediments after traumatic brain injury (TBI)
* are deaf / hard-of-hearing
* are blind or have visual impairments

Here is what I have learned:
2: Rooms are much more inclusive when people who speak always start by saying “This is NAME” and when they are done speaking clearly say “I am done speaking.”

Here is why:
3: A) Some people use closed caption systems that transcribe speech to text (or to e.g. a braille reader). Without expressed clarity on who is speaking there is just one stream of text without context, because these systems do not always differentiate voices.

Does Google/Alphabet scan your messages in Gmail for showing targeted ads? No.

Does Google/Alphabet scan your messages in Gmail for other purposes? Yes.

Are there other risks with Gmail? Yes.

Thread ->
The notion 'Gmail scans your e-mails to show ads' is still often being repeated as truth in articles and other reporting, even as Google announced in June 2017 that Consumer Gmail content would no longer be used or scanned for any ads personalisation.

wired.co.uk/article/google…
This allows Google to appear benevolent when talking about Gmail in these terms, as CEO Sundar Pichai did earlier this week when stating: "We don't use data from Gmail for ads, Congressman".

Swedish sayings.

Feel free to add your own favorites from any language.

1. Ingen ko på isen = No cow on the ice = No worries.
2. Ana ugglor i mossen = suspect owls in the bog (marsh) = I think there is something suspicious going on
3. Nu har du skitit i det blå skåpet = Now you've taken a shit in the blue cabinet = You're in trouble OR you've gone too far OR things have just taken a turn for the worse

2020 has definitely taken a shit in the blue cabinet.

1) In Digital Compassion I outline seven ways in which people experience negative impact from tech and digital services. Number six is what I call ”neglect of ecosystem”.
2) "Neclect of ecosystem" is harm based on the failure of an organisation to assume responsibility for people occupying the extended ecosystem necessary for the development and use of its services and products.
3) For example, many thousands of miners in the Democratic Republic of Congo work each day to excavate cobalt by hand, for the benefit of lithium-reliant companies such as Apple, Alphabet (Google), Microsoft and Tesla. Roughly 60% of the world's cobalt originates in DR Congo.
