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.

And they do not markup domain prices. You pay what they pay.

Because money.

When you sell to a big corporation their only goal is to milk every dollar possible.

And it will keep happening again and again until the system changes or people with more conscience than greed decide not to sell to the highest bidder.

It’s not good enough to be profitable. It’s good enough when your current workforce is at its breaking point because you can barely get the required work done. Then you announce record profits, the investment banks expect even more growth next quarter, the employees are thanked with a canned letter from the CEO for their hard work, you cut a division in half while increasing their work, hire a consulting firm that will do a crap job on a project but you don’t have to pay benefits, and then give your employees a negative review for poor time management of an impossible workload and do it all again.

I’m not jaded at all. :(

Well considering they are/were responding they may have just been spamming posts. Either way, incredibly annoying, especially with calling it OC.

Then stop claiming it’s OC with your post title. Not hard.

Edit - not sure if it’s an issue with my client or Lemmy - this comment was originally a reply to OP’s now deleted comment. Now showing as a reply to someone else (at least on my client).

This is not OC and probably is an unlabeled bot account. Check their post history.

None. The beauty of a federated system is that I can stay in my home and still interact with all of those groups should I choose. If using the local function is important to you, then whichever community you are interested in.

I mean, the non alarmist view here is that they are planning to use data provided by the various stores (Steam, Epic, etc) to determine installation count.

Not defending Unity, I haven’t done enough research to have an opinion on the change; but this take seems to correlate two things that probably aren’t related. Plus, what’s easier to do: build a system that tracks specific installs of specific games to specific hardware or to ask Steam and Epic for install counts over the last X months.

 

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!

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!
