Yeah, I don’t know either. I found it an interesting read, it also goes into conversation design in games. Felt like it would be appropriate here?

No, I’d finally be able to drive without needing to have music on at any given time.

Doubly egregious when you have one of those annoying GDPR windows that make opting out a hassle just to view the menu. I’ve left restaurants over this.

Not quite out the roof, but I had on cat that climbed into my apartment and now it lived there (I did check if someone owned it).

As for the reason I brought up Facebook moderation is, what do you think is usually posted there? Minion memes? Photos from trips? Well those moderators are often subjected to beheadings, rape, and other very graphic content. Do you think that was explicitly stated when they got hired?

No likely not, and Facebook clearly deserves a proper reckoning. But I don’t see how this relates or makes it ok.

And I am not making any arguments whatsoever on whether or not she should actually have to see “comments from people talking about how they wanted to fuck me and my co workers.”.

Would you say LTT/LMG sells itself as a channel about sex or porn or the likes? No, it’s a tech channel and as such one would expect tech related social media. You could state that the function of the job is unchanged, but the job content is also relevant here.

The kind interactions (including pictures and such) you get on OF vastly differs what you will get on other platforms. That’s not in the job description.

And to your last point, she was a social media manager, not a Facebook moderator. How does that compare? Are you intentionally making bad faith arguments?

Because the internet is exceptionally shit against women in particular, and because she clearly stated she didn’t want to do it.

This is kinda basic stuff.

I have moved to a new country myself (from within Europe to within Europe). I feel such articles often underestimate how important culture and language is for us to work together. Beyond just skills and education. Ironically though, employment is a quick way to learn how to fit in.

In the Netherlands, I want to say that Apple Maps is actually better than Google… but only if you’re driving.

For some insane reason they don’t have biking maps here (or at least in all the places I’ve tried) which is such an enormous blunder.

It really is. Luckily it’s a skill that can be trained.

I’ve only skimmed your comments, but I think a factor is also that a lot of them are really hard to read.

Examples I see are weird sentence structure, the lack of paragraphs for longer messages, the lack of capitalisation, and rather odd/hyperbolic use of words (writing in the same way you’d speak?). This “style” just gets interpreted as “noise” when I’m reading it, which will get downvoted as it doesn’t contribute.

English isn’t my first language either (it’s not even my second or third!) so I understand it’s very hard to get these things right. But without sufficient clarity you will get downvotes, as it just comes off as noise.

Yeah same. I see a mix of positive and negative.

I also have several projects where I’m the only user, but I wouldn’t let that stop me from adding features for fun and exercise.

It’s not for me though. But I want to stress it’s not because I dislike it, but I find that seeing something blurred almost highlights something that’s gonna annoy me is here. Otherwise my brain would just kinda blank it. Good job tho, and I hope folks here are more interested.

Even then it’s still a quick mistake to make. If I’m not paying attention I could easily make a mistake like this, because I’m used to reading things left to right.

A set of water pump wrenches. I’ve used them for all kinds of purposes that aren’t water pumps. They grip most things and allow a lotta torque.

That’s likely the culprit. We have these containers that store trash underground, so the entry is at hip height.

There’s still the occasional idiot who manages to break it though and then people pile up the trash.
