This is a great example showing what stylized scripts that you might put in a tweet sound on a screen reader. Accessibility is important! Whether producing content or new software, get feedback from diverse people to make sure you haven't locked anyone out with inaccessibility.

hello! this is a friendly reminder to NOT use fancy fonts in your dn, bio, and tweets. people with disability— blind, visually impaired, dyslexic— cannot read these when they use assistive technologies such as screenreader or voiceover. here’s an example:

None that don't license compute from Amazon/MS/Google + almost certainly use data that's a commercial surveillance derivative. Then there's the deployment q: who'll pay for "social good" to actually work in the world, not just exist as a hypothesis project in a grant report?

I just updated this blog post. Check it out. "Representation Matters: A Collection of Diverse Stock Image Resources" infosecsherpa.medium.com/rep…

Representation Matters: A Collection of Diverse Stock Images & Resources

This is by not means a comprehensive collection of diverse images. But, it’s a start and hopefully a good resource for people to remember…

Ever heard the term 𝐥𝐨𝐰-𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡? Low-technologies are simple, sustainable, and accessible systems in terms of costs and know-how. Their impact on the environment is low because they favor recycled materials and energy-efficient operations 🌍. 💻appropedia.org/Low-tech_Lab

The PDF is FREE. It is the legitimate version, not a draft. Hardcovers will be available soon ($70 to cover the printing cost). My little hope is that the book can help underprivileged families who cannot afford a textbook. Your download = best support. Thx.
Stanley H. Chan@stanley_h_chan7 Oct 2021
After two years of writing + editing, the (proof-read) hard copy is finally here! Thank you to everyone who helped with this book. I'll tweet about a few unique things about this book. To get a PDF copy of this book: probability4datascience.com/ #datascience, #MachineLearning

Interested in Surveillance Studies? I’ve created a condensed website for an easy introduction to the field, including key centers, journals, and books. This was built for #students in my #surveillance class, but it could be a useful resource for anyone. publicsurveillance.com/
