I like the web monetisation proposal being brought forward by @ppk:
- Beloved sites get sold and dropped or "eaten by AI", and the reason is money.
- For those willing, a trickling micro payment stream could send a few cents every few seconds from a reader's wallet to that of a website owner.
- The readers would control their max rate and max outlay per month, for example.
- The readers could block certain sites/domains from receiving money.
- There are still lots of open questions!
In case anyone at #BTConf finds my little stickers and wonders what they are for - it's pure silly fun:
Chris Campe of @BerlinLetters inadvertently became a protest sign influencer after painting some protest signs for herself to use.
She leant into it, and started doing workshops on how to draw effective protest signs.
- Feedback is a gift, even if not so intended. It is sometimes uncomfortable, but that means it's useful.
- It is just information. Do with it what you want.
- Become a collector of feedback. Get as much information out of a session as you can.
- Not everyone has to to like your work, or like you.
- It's rarely about you. They may have stuff going on, or have a pissed-off thinking face.
- Assume some negative feedback.
- Feedback may sting, because we're human.
Thank you David de Léon.
Getting Factfulness (Hans Rosling, RIP) vibes from Stefan Sagmeister's closing talk today.
Negative stories get more traction, seem more true, sound more intelligent. They get shared more, they get more attention.
Taking the long view, life is better than it ever has been. We have great data from the last 200 years to prove it, and Stefan has made some wonderful art that represents it:

The fight for progress is working. We need to keep on fighting.
Nope, I don't think I can do Oliver Schöndorfer's talk justice.
He artfully weaved between pro and con accessibility stances (and clearly came out on the correct side, of course) - while acknowledging the troubles people have trying to understand and implement accessible design.
There was so much more to this talk, I recommend you go watch the video once it's publicised!
Adrienne Tacke giving us some solid, useful advice on reviews and PRs #BTConf
(With thanks to native Mastodon detecting text in the picture! Needed lots of editing but a great help for ALT text!)
Omg Oliver Schöndorfer just made a big joke at the start of his talk that ended up referencing Smokey's Living Next Door to Alice 😆 #BTConf
Going to take me a while to ALT-text up the photos I'm taking, I'll try to do it justice later...
