We don't anthropomorphize the technology but instead give it to you to wield.

I loved that if I “did the work”, then I got the benefits. If there’s something in Rails I didn’t like, I felt empowered to change it.

This option wasn’t offered by the library, but that doesn’t have to stop us. Isn’t that fun?

However, CDD projects fit on the empowerment end of CBD by actively engaging beneficiaries in the design, management and implementation of projects

SankeyMATIC unlocks the capabilities of the D3 Sankey tool for anyone to use.

Why let other websites and social platforms tell your story? Share the real, authentic you the way you want to, and when you want to.

The nice thing about leading with an RFC process is that it shows potential contributors, from the get-go, that they have a path to contributing even big ideas.

FWIW, I would have raised it earlier if I thought it would have made a difference.

All of the features of NLS were in support of Engelbart's goal of augmenting collective knowledge work and therefore focused on making the user more powerful, not simply on making the system easier to use.

People Enable people

Consent means offering individuals real choice and control. Genuine consent should put individuals in charge, build trust and engagement, and enhance your reputation.

they sought to eliminate data controllers and processors acting without appropriate permission, leaving citizens with no control as their personal data was transferred to third parties and beyond

“Until CR 1.0 there was no effective privacy standard or requirement for recording consent in a common format and providing people with a receipt they can reuse for data rights.  Individuals could not track their consents or monitor how their information was processed or know who to hold accountable in the event of a breach of their privacy,” said Colin Wallis, executive director, Kantara Initiative.  “CR 1.0 changes the game.  A consent receipt promises to put the power back into the hands of the individual and, together with its supporting API — the consent receipt generator — is an innovative mechanism for businesses to comply with upcoming GDPR requirements.  For the first time individuals and organizations will be able to maintain and manage permissions for personal data.”

Its purpose is to decrease the reliance on privacy policies and enhance the ability for people to share and control personal information.

I believe that beginning to distribute tools that patch Firefox and give back power to users and allow them to install unsigned extensions is necessary when an organization is taking away our rights without giving us a compelling reason for doing so.

I appreciate the vigilance, but it would be even better to actually publish a technical reasoning for why do you folks believe Firefox is above the device owner, and the root user, and why there should be no possibility through any means and configuration protections to enable users to run their own code in the release version of Firefox.

But now, I think there’s still some lack of clarity from consumers on exactly what they need to do

A middle ground would be to recommend the user create a new password without necessarily enforcing this action. The obvious risk is that the user clicks through the warning and proceeds with using a compromised password, but at least you've given them the opportunity to improve their security profile.

Enable Frictionless Collaboration CucumberStudio empowers the whole team to read and refine executable specifications without needing technical tools. Business and technology teams can collaborate on acceptance criteria and bridge their gap.

On visiting a site with a “cookie consent” notice, I don’t feel empowered just irritated.

While these roles are very important, the ability to innovate from an “outside-in” standpoint may be even more valuable. How do we get people who  experience ‘customer reaction” or people who work in factories to surface and take action on the things that they observe? If you don’t provide the tools for that and enable that, then you have the danger of 1) the signal for innovation not reaching the source 2) the signal being transformed on the way to the source. A signal loss can change the idea entirely and alter the impact of the innovation.

fixing the source of employee disengagement by helping them with tools that optimize their workflows ultimately led to employee empowerment.

Humu empowers every individual to do better—and be better
