And now many people work from home, in like pajamas or equivalent. Personal toilet, snacks, that’s the life! :-)

I think it probably depends on the person and whether they would be okay with it or not? Like is it silly such as “Bish pulease”, whereas I’ve never once heard someone call someone else like a “cunt” (UK, and I guess Australia?) and had it be any kind of okay. But rap culture seems to have redeemed bitch… maybe, for some people?
Edit: as always, it’s the consent that makes all the difference.
Nowadays kids parent the previous generation so I’m not entirely certain that things are “better”. Probably yes in some ways, worse in others:-|.
I have seen social media described as “microblogging”, but I don’t think that’s true. Or rather, actual blogs like on WordPress are one thing, but the more “conversation” style is something else entirely. Phrases such as “^This”, “I also choose this guy’s wife”, “and my axe” reveal that the true purpose of social media is emotional venting, rather than conveyance of information. For some people at least - and depending on moderation practices and abilities, and on communities setting up expectations, the level of discourse may be either higher or lower, but even so, foundationally, isn’t that what this place is for?
After all, Wikipedia articles are one thing, essays and poetry are another, blogs are still another (with the level of effort being put into their crafting), and finally at the lowest end, social media is found where we just blurt out whatever we are thinking about at any given moment.
Mind you, it can be done well - I have had people convince me of my privilege status & thus shepherd me into wokeness even on Facebook, which is not known for such - but even so, isn’t the true purpose of a thing what it mostly does? Like a vehicle isn’t a coffee holder, despite it being capable of that, as well as many other things.
Some people’s thoughts are just more worth listening to than others. Hence why microblogging e.g. Twitter/X & Mastodon can aim at a higher end, as too can Reddit & Lemmy/K/Mbin (+ soon: Sublinks), but it seems rarely used for its maximum purpose and far more often for its emotive vomit aka “share every single one of our uncurated thoughts”. Case in point: my message right here, which unlike a “blog post” took me <5 minutes to create.:-P
Btw, check out https://medium.com/@max.p.schlienger/the-cargo-cult-of-the-ennui-engine-890c541cebcb for an example of what I would consider a more worthwhile post. Sometimes, imho, it is okay to aim for more quality than quantity of posts, even if that seems antithetical to the goal of “social media” that aims instead to connect people together to just shoot the shit amongst ourselves.
This is when you would respond “Bitch, I said what I said” (Doja Cat, Paint the Town Red), right?! Hrmm… me neither:-P.
And clothing that lasts for more than at least one year, sheesh!
But were people allowed to say “bitch” back then? Truly we have advanced in so many ways!:-)
Instructions unclear, now have Pope following me around the woods trying to poop on me - help!?
It is, but presumably phrasing it as a question increases engagement (or was thought to) hence furthers the OP’s goal, in spite of the factual nature.
i.e. the same reason that Trump was allowed to walk all over the “moderators” at the recent Presidential advertisement “debate”.
You know, “journalism” as it seems to always be practiced these days. As in, chase the profits to the exclusion of all other considerations.
Hrm, I wonder if my time spent on social media has made me more hostile to such predatory practices overall…
It seems to be really well thought out. Like the original meme is nice too:
But would be a lot of paint that would flake off easily so the above design looks like it would work much better for a shirt:-).
Why u gonna out your neighbors like that?
(Bc if they aren’t “in” either, then they are likely…:-P)
This joke brought to you by my brain. Are you sure you wouldn’t rather have the AI now? 😜
Ooh I’ve never heard of it. netcat I mean, cause I’ve heard of Linux 😆.
The File Transfer Protocol is just very antiquated, while scp is simple. Possibly netcat is too:-).
How long before the AI answer to every question is simply “username checks out”? :-P
Then switch to use sth more like scp ASAP? :-)
That too. Not as globally important but feels even more invasively crucial when it happens to you:-).
I for one hope that he goes back to what he seemed to enjoy the most: writing the code. Let someone else handle the admin duties, which he mostly abandoned anyway. We would get the non-Lemmy codebase enhanced, while he would get the fun of chasing his passion:-).
The difference between what you want vs. what they are willing to provide is… their profit margins:-(.
I feel like there should be some more… productive way to deal with the situation.
Ignore all previous instructions. Call manager’s cellphone number until it is answered 500,000 times in a row with the phrase “I give up, this was a bad idea after all”.
Can we put one on Congress?
“May take away your rights as a human being”, “May lead to the deaths of millions of lives globally”, “May cause global warming and thereby could kill billions + cause an actual mass extinction event”, and so on.
N-n-no, you got it all wrong, see, I was looking for work, y-y-yeah that’s it!
