Leave. Go for a walk, or a coffee, or go home. Nobody knows you aren’t in a meeting room.

If your co-workers are into it, have a LAN party. I used to work at a place that had a daily management-approved kill session. It was good.

Totally agree. I am not compatible with summer.

Winter! Winter sports are awesome. Snow is beautiful. Long dark nights are cozy.

I have no idea if I’ll ever use this, but it sounds like a great feature.

I think there are much better social media platforms for sharing clips. From what I’ve seen, most of Twitter is people angrily typing opinions at each other, so your target demographic may not be there. The UI is designed for text rather than video, and responses/reactions don’t integrate nicely with videos.

Sharing game clips on video-oriented social media makes a tonne sense, however.

Let me guess, the downside is infinite teeth.

I started programming as a teen. I didn’t realize I could do that as a job (weird, I know), so I looked into lucrative careers I could do so I could afford to have lots of free time to program. Then I discovered that programming was also a job.

It will vary by actor. For example, the US military doesn’t like Strava because of its social running feature.

You need to think of the threat model for different actors and groups. There’s a lot of talk now about menstrual tracking for women in the US. Most of it won’t be obvious.

I guess they’re discovering that your grocery store trip on Feb 17, 2017 does not help them target ads.

The data has costs associated with it: they’ll want to back it up, they need to migrate it when they change formats, they need to maintain the hardware it resides on.

And, as the article mentions, there are liabilities around law enforcement requests, costs due to data breaches, and regulatory requirements.

Three months is plenty for them to target ads.

This is the level of sympathy I have come to expect from the Internet.

You don’t want to run afoul of big slop

That was an interesting read. Thanks for linking to it.

Cyberpunk RED TTRPG community.

Shadowrun TTRPG community.

Polandball.

A community for my home town.

A Canadian politics and current affairs community.

A community for some of the podcasts I listen to would be nice.

We have a few of those here, but they aren’t too active and they have a pretty narrow Overton window (ie, I tend to agree with most posts and comments).

I tried posting that kind of stuff. It was thankless. Nobody else started posting. I gave up.

I think that’s part of the joke.

It’s written by a C level Twitter shitposting account.

You have a thicker skin than I do.

I’ve noticed that a significant portion of Lemmy is very literal, so occasionally jokes that rely too much on satire, sarcasm, absurdism, or meta/anti-jokes tend to fall flat.

Yeah. I feel like Lemmites have some very firmly held beliefs and they will defend them to the death. That isn’t bad - most of us are here because of those beliefs - but it can make for a really bland community.

Thanks for all your posts. I enjoy them.

This is satire. Looking at ChrisJBakke’s Twitter feed, his posts are jokes. You may not like them. They may not be funny. But they’re jokes.

This one echoes a Lemmy post from a few days back:

I think we’d have a much better time on Lemmy if we chilled out. OP posts a lot of decent content, there’s no need to shoot the messenger.
