We just finished watching the documentary CODED BIAS by Joy Buolamwini on @Netflix and I cannot emphersise this enough, you HAVE to watch this. It’s all about what big Tech companies are up to with facial recognition.I’m glad I left Facebook 5 years ago, and Twitter recently. 😳

So people know who I am and what I do, here’s my #introductionI’m an ex-pat Brit living in Canada who’s done a lot of travelling, some through work. I’m ex-military, and while I have done quite a few jobs over the years, I’ve mostly worked in the #Print & #Publishing trade. Now retired (health) I’m free to indulge any number of hobbies, including #writing, #journalling, and #photography. Also big-time #science nerd.For more on my writing, check out: http://fictionalwolfe.ca

@cowboy Ah, for a minute there I thought you were talking about the South African SAS lot. You must have some good stories to tell then.

@stux Which, when I lived there, always made me wonder why people were Dutch, not Netherlanders? 😋

@stux Ha! Ha! Yeah, I never could get my head around that one. And loved that no one seemed to care that they confused the rest of us. 😁

@cowboy And even non-followers. I posted a photo and was blown away by the amount of boosts it got.

@ray I'll be a happy tea drinker if I can persuade you to experiment, Ray, and end up making you a tea convert. I'm sure you'll enjoy your cuppa better for just taking a minute extra to watch the water. 😀

@ray Like burning a stake, or over heating any food item, rapidly boiled water damages quality tea leaves and can release a bitter taste (tannins). And besides, my gran told me, never, never boil your water and we all know, granny is always right! 😜

@ray Oh, I like the sound of Blot, so look forward to seeing what you do with the new software and blog. And agree, Wordpress has gotten to unwieldily to use these days.

@pim It sounds like a place I should be hanging out. But, of course, I have no idea how I would move and would then fret about losing all my current followers.Was it easy to move?
