Pretty sure the 2nd advisor isn’t actually a computer scientist/developer or if they are they are absolutely employed as Technical Sales for a consulting company. Otherwise their answer would have looked incredibly similar.

You know, it was a serious question but I can’t argue with this answer. Case dismissed.

Serious question: what makes the ‘tackle’ by the security guard NOT assault?

There was no prevention of a crime that would normally warrant force. In most places you have to be asked to leave before it’s trespassing.

That seemed overly aggressive for a first reaction.

AI Tools - plural. ChatGPT (and OpenAI as a whole) predominantly runs on Azure infrastructure. Microsoft also owns GitHub with its associated copilot. And now all the Microsoft product specific copilots.

Not trying to defend their usage, but there are several forests here that are quite visible.

I knew he was nutty, but holy fuck this guy is actually insane.

If you haven’t, watch at least the first minute of the video. That’s all you need to have your jaw hit the floor at the crazy.

I am choosing to believe that the hyphenated word should be ‘killer-crab’ for a much more entertaining and terrifying article.

Really really liking Avelon so far. First app that may be able to dethrone Memmy for me.

Main Request: add a partner option that goes along with Blur NSFW to entirely hide NSFW. I actually like browsing on all to find new communities but I don’t need those posts in my feed at all unless I specifically want them.

Secondary: While we all wait for Lemmy to introduce instance blocking on a user level, it would be nice to see filtering options for keyword and instance.

Thanks again! Great work!

But…it was ‘almost done’…what happened to it? Did Obama’s dog eat it?

[-] theDoctor@lemmy.sdf.org 57 points 1 year ago

Did you read the article? Pretty clear it’s more than even harassment…

“These jurors have signed their death warrant by falsely indicting President Trump," a post on a pro-Trump forum read in response to a post including the names of jurors, which was viewed by NBC News.

Also, Grand Juries are secret, regular juries are not. That’s why these articles are all referring to them as the ‘purported’ jurors.

If they did somehow actually get the jury members names and release them, that alone could (and should) be seen as a threat considering the secret nature.

If you are on their network they can see what you are doing. At the end of the day, the business will protect itself.

Do what you want at your own risk. But never assume that any company is on your side.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. The fact that these articles are making fairly large headlines is proof enough that this event is backfiring.

A couple days of engagement traffic do not outweigh the negative PR and advertising impact from this event.

If you were a company, you might think twice before advertising on a site that has their users actively, publicly, and loudly trashing on the CEO. It says a lot that it’s happening in the first place. Says even more that they aren’t able to stop it.

Also, look at the activity numbers here. I’m not trying to trash on Lemmy, but we are a drop on the bucket. It’s far more effective for us to be visible and loud than silent and ignored.

For clarity sake, I’m not encouraging anyone to go do anything, nor the other way around. But if you want to, ignore the comments, saying that this is going to say, Reddit with traffic and engagement from you if you go. It clearly isn’t, and your loud protest is valuable.

They did.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-column-great-debate/column-why-a-medieval-peasant-got-more-vacation-time-than-you-idUKBRE97S0KU20130829

And this is from 2013. The last line is particularly poignant.

Speaking of Congress, its members seem to be the only people in America getting as much down time as the medieval peasant. They get 239 days off this year.

Nothing says that the !android@lemmy.world will be locked forever. They wrote a well thought out post, pinned it, and encouraged people to move to their new home. No one was strong armed. No one needs to go make new accounts. Everyone needs to take a breath.

Would you rather they had deleted the community and said nothing? Everyone is up and arms over something that was created DAYS ago.

Copy of the post in the event it is deleted or you don't want to give ****it any traffic.

Hey again, /r/PICS!

We have another interesting development for you: /u/ModCodeofConduct still hasn't responded to our request for a public reply... but they have seen fit to threaten us:

This is a final warning for inaccurately labeling your community NSFW which is a violation of the Mod Code of Conduct rule 2. Your subreddit has not historically been considered NSFW nor would they under our current policies.

Please immediately correct the NSFW labeling on your subreddit. Failure to do so will result in action being taken on your moderator team by the end of this week. This means moderators involved in this activity will be removed from this mod team. Moderators may also be subject to additional actions, e.g., losing the ability to join mod teams in the future.

Lastly, if you suddenly begin to post, or approve content that features sexually explicit content to your community in order to justify the NSFW label, we will immediately remove and permanently suspend moderators who have participated in this action.

Needless to say, we responded as you would expect:

Please read and publicly respond to our message addressing this.

We are not in violation of the cited rule as it is written. Moreover, according to Reddit's listed policies, our subreddit is considered NSFW. If these policies are themselves in error, please correct their verbiage immediately. Otherwise, /r/PICS reverting to SFW would itself be in violation of those same policies.

Our team is currently discussing our actions in the meantime. Please permit us some time to reach a consensus.

Maddeningly, /u/ModCodeofConduct is telling us to go against Reddit's listed guidelines, which puts us in something of a pickle: If we follow their commands, we'll be in violation of the site-wide rules... but if adhere to said rules, they'll remove us. /r/InterestingAsFuck is still unmoderated (at the time of this writing), so we can reasonably assume that our removal would effectively kill this community.

Well, we don't want /r/PICS to die, so while we figure out how best to handle the situation (which includes waiting for a public, user-visible response from /u/ModCodeofConduct), we're going to be exploring new ways of ensuring that innocent, unsuspecting users are not presented with offensive content. One possible avenue would see you – yes, you, the upstanding Redditor reading this – having the ability to tag any post that you personally found offensive.

If you have any other ideas, please share them in the comments!

Sorry for the confusion, /r/PICS! We'll get back to you with more soon!

Sac Dep Spa - GY - Part 1 (www.youtube.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by theDoctor@lemmy.sdf.org to c/popping@lemmy.world

The first part of one of the best series on this channel. No faked thumbnails. No random music. No cuts halfway through the video to a cooking show, just excellent pops.

And Gy's pops may be some of the best ever filmed.
