Remember kids, the only was to fight misogyny is to punish people who discuss or criticisize it

I… are you accusing him of losing the war because he enjoys it?

“Stonewalled”, no, that’s 13 pages of routine paperwork. I had to do more to see the doctor.

Sick people need a doctor, people living in a evil dictatorship need access to free information, ig

I mean I don’t think it’s the UN’s fault they can’t get shit done about climate change, but I still wouldn’t use it as a model

I… does the UN think they’re handling climate change well and promptly?

OK but I’m genuinely terrified by how common this is at my company, and its notably better at retention then the industry norm.

Screw Dead Internet Theory, this is my conspiracy: Crowdstrike style incidents are going to get more and more common as techdebt keeps growing.

Piracy steals from the rich and gives to the poor. ChatGPT steals from the rich and the poor and keeps for itself.

@mods I went with “spam or abuse”, is that the appropriate label?

What are you searching for? I can’t remember the last time I googled something and most the results were malicious.

Also, I don’t think it’ll be easier to spot bullshit coming from an LLM then a website.

Do we have a rule against just straight-up ads? If not, should we make one maybe?

Holy fuck yeah

Sorry, I meant professional company emails. Obviously people can make up whatever private gmail account they want. And people can state their preferred name, but the fact that if I call my coworker “Josh” and their last name is “Jacobson”, the fact that I can type in Josh.Jacobson and find them is extremely helpful, and I don’t get why companies would complicate that by making it “jojacko” .

I mean yeah, but it happens even more with the naming scheme in the original post. Most companies just add a number when that happens. Predictable naming schemes, at least as the default, make it a lot easier to find people in large companies.

I tried mastodon, but I hated it. So far I’m liking this more.

Jerboa’s been a bit confusing for me too. Does anyone know how to find communities on other instances?
