That’s fantastic if your city offers busses! Or public transportation at all 😭

Absolutely! I hate cool and useful shit like OCR (optical character recognition for anyone who doesn’t know) getting mixed with content theft generative AI
It’s 31% of my city’s entire budget. Our parks service gets over 5 times less and we have a crazy number of parks here.
But hey, the police needed a new station! The old one was all of 7 years old! And it only had a regular 50 inch TV, not a 4k one!
Meanwhile the best playground in the city has had all it’s mulch piled to the side for months, with nobody, including several city and county officials I’ve spoken to, knowing why.
Fun thing: that police budget is actually down percentage wise. Money wise it’s up by a million, but our wonderful mayor decided it would be brilliant to not renew our garbage pickup without another option on the table. Now we have trash pickup that’s twice as expensive and won’t pick up trash in the back yard for the elderly without them paying almost $150 a month for the service.
I hate this town
Not ending a sentence with a preposition is a stupid and meaningless rule. Everyone does it. Language has moved on. Get over it.
Hell, I’d be surprised if he’s read more than the Berenstain Bear on audio book
It doesn’t hurt them. Why the hell should they care? Their massive bonuses go through whether Dave gets to give presents to his kids this year or not!
If it isn’t it damn well should be
Shh, don’t scare them off!
Absolutely not. His ass can stay shunned for eternity. I don’t care if he starts supporting everything I do, the shit he’s done is unforgivable
No one gives a shit about the CEO of telegram, your joke just wasn’t funny
It. Wasn’t. Funny.
Obsidian is just sooooo good. I hate that you (technically 😉) have to pay for multi device sync, but the UI and UX are excellent, especially if you’re already proficient in markdown
Haven’t tried logseq before, so I can’t compare
Apologies,
Owners and managers have no empathy, morals, or brains.
He tried to kill the active President, not for political reasons, but to impress an actress who didn’t know he existed.
Mans bat shit. Why on earth would the diagnosis of crazy be challenged?
Sorry, my US brain was assuming only US people again!
Though yalls owners class frequently does want to be exactly like the US owners class. Don’t think I haven’t noticed the sharp rise in barely-not-fascist and outright fascist parties in Europe! And the middle east has been run by fascists for decades thanks to the US and various European powers.
Basically we all suck, some just suck less and slower
So what exactly is wrong with making the voice mail say “I will never check this. Email me at person@company.tld if you want help”? If the requirement is bullshit, why shouldn’t people comply maliciously? As long as there’s some way to contact the dev (like through email), who gives a rats ass if the phone number doesn’t work? I don’t need to call Lawrence Dawson cause Sync is having issues. I can post on the sub or probably find an email somewhere. It’s not gonna be instant like a phone call, but it doesn’t need to be.

See, you have morals and empathy.
Most managers and owners don’t.
As a former mod, in my experience it was more having a place to engage a community, and helping that community grow and improve. Reddit being a million dollar company when I started and a billion dollar company when I left didn’t really factor in. If you have a site split up into a million little communities, you need moderators that can have intimate knowledge of each community they oversee, and that’s unreasonable for a company of any size to do in house. Otherwise you have Facebook style moderation where it’s just plain dreadful no matter where you are.
Additionally, it really matters what sized sub you modded.
I modded mostly smaller subs, one big one for a while, and a default for 2 weeks. I put a lot of effort into the smaller subs, especially when it was just a few people whose usernames I recognized posting. I had little jokes hidden around, some cool CSS stuff, and some automated tasks. It was an enjoyable way to spend a couple hours a week. I didn’t mind it.
The big sub I was on mostly through mutuals. I was known to be pretty decent with automod scripting, so I got brought in to deal with never ending spam. I would update the automod and check queue every couple days, no biggie. Then the rest of the mods all drifted offline, leaving me alone to either let the sun die or to try and maintain the damned thing.
I maintained it near single handedly for like 2 years. It was mostly adding more and more to automod, but a lot was manual approvals and deletions. It sucked and sapped all the fun out of an activity I used to enjoy. Wasn’t the worst, but I wouldn’t have joined in the first place had I known why would happen.
Default subs are a different beast entirely. They don’t even use automod half the time. All of them have custom bots that link either a slack or discord, and everything is run externally through there. I decided to dip when I asked how tf all their tools worked and got refered to almost a damn knowledge base. That truly seemed awful and like it needed to be done by dedicated and paid employees.
Anyways, this comment spiraled, so sorry about that.
I live a mile from the nearest safe road to bike on. People regularly nearly hit me in my car. I’d be dead if I biked anywhere
