  @cmconseils 🚾 The use of QR-code-as-menu is bad for several reasons: 🚫Don't create burdens for your customer. 🚫Don't use tools that put customers at risk or require they vet your lazy use of a gimmick. 🚫Don't allow tech dorx to mine customer data with a "virtual menu" hosted on quikmenu.ai.biz.xyz.blah - - - - - 🏆🏆🏆 Here is a good use of a QR code: When attending a play, a theatre hands you a small, printed, business-card-size show program with...

  @justincox Thank you; that sounds like a likely reason. Our biggest concern is that Apple had approved us to accept in-game donations using Apple Pay in the free games we have in the App Store. We were going to integrate that functionality in the new version of our games. Unfortunately, Stripe is the processor. Hopefully we can sort something out. Thanks again for your response.

  Our #nonprofit was notified today that #Stripe was closing our account. Apparently over 200 (false) transactions hit our account. (They were mostly less than a dollar each.) The transactions are for accounts with names like "John Miller" "Sue Smith" "Mike Adams". 1/n #security #tech

  It looks like our problem with #stripe transactions were initiated via our #kofi account. Has anybody else had this problem? We're trying to find somebody at Ko-fi who can explain or help. Stripe closed our #charity account after 16 years with zero problems. Stripe refuses to speak with us. #fraud #security #help #tech

  @GossiTheDog @Npars01 How about we spend 1% of our salaries on teaching our kids about #CriticalThinking and #consent to rid future generations of these fraudster #tech bros? #prevention

  Let's be grateful to the "monkey selfie" which clarified the requirement (US) that copyright can be granted only if the work is authored by a human.

  Agreed: my intention isn't to oversimplify the problems or ignore systemic issues. This slide offers an overview of just some of the Theories of Change we apply through trauma-informed digital games created for young people. We cannot ignore cultural norms - or impacts at community & relationship levels. (And some of the games are intentionally designed to shift those norms among adolescents.) We know that these are only steps in the right direction, not a panacea. But: ta...

  Meta & YouTube are designed to addict. The bad actors and their companies are finally facing a reasonable degree of accountability. This is the case that, years from now, law students will learn was the moment when things changed. https://theconversation.com/meta-and-google-just-lost-a-landmark-social-media-addiction-case-a-tech-law-expert-explains-the-fallout-278409 #BigTech #Meta #Facebook #Google #YouTube #SocialMedia #accountability #law

  Last week, I was honored to speak to the 2026 cohort of Project TIDAL about how trauma-informed video games can be used to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality caused by intimate partner violence (#IPV). The thoughtful questions and insights from the early career researchers was very encouraging! It has been an honor for our nonprofit org @stopTDV to share our work and our trauma-informed games for the past two years through this #NIH funded project. Congratulations to Emory University...

  My somewhat-loud-voice: 🗣️ it's very frustrating most nonprofit orgs continue to use #Facebook / #Twitter / #Instagram for outreach! I am aware of only a few nonprofit orgs on Mastodon. And I have had ZERO success trying to convince any to use Mastodon. ❓ Although #Mastodon shows much love for prosocial *causes* there's not nearly as much for *orgs* doing that work. Why? #nonprofit #NGO

  Epstein and Thiel had more in common than their hatred of women and love of cryptocurrency. "[T]he two exchanged more than 2,000 messages over the years and met on multiple occasions. Epstein would ultimately invest some $40 million in venture capital funds managed by Valar Ventures, a firm cofounded by Thiel." https://www.thenation.com/article/society/peter-thiel-jeffrey-epstein-democracy/ https://web.archive.org/web/20260219174627/https://www.thenation.com/article/society/...

  @ProPublica A sad situation that is more common than most realize.

  Looksmaxxing: misogynistic incel ideology going mainstream Antisocial AI smartphone apps used as gateway to toxic manosphere: (1) Quantification Incels believe everybody has a “sexual market value” & these apps assign numerical scores based on obscure AI calculations. (2) Gamification Users scores are tied to specific ranks users are promised the ability to “ascend” to a higher rank.
