That’s not the problematic metric though. It’s the 70-80% (link) install base of the Windows OS on desktop computers that Edge is installed with that’s the basis of the anti-competitive allegation.

The fact that it still only takes 5% of the browser usage is more of a happy accident.

This is how you get shot for the silliest of reasons.

Unless it’s the initial outreach team or on-premises staff, sales would be one of the few roles totally suited to remote working.

Some of the more creative or collaborative roles I can see the argument for hybrid working - even if it’s just one day a week or month in the office - but sales, customer service, or first line support seems to be the last area you’d impose a return to work mandate on.

That said, I haven’t got extortionate office rents to justify 😂

A bit of career suicide for visibility on government corruption?

Sure he’s a tool, but this will likely make a lot of people feel a little uncomfortable.

At least for twenty seconds or so.

I should check usernames.more

Man I haven’t been keeping up with the remakes. Is that Adam Jensen or Albert Wesker?

a real 4chanerd would assume that this heartwarming story is somewhat less-than-genuine and non-heterosexual.

Goatse.

Every time.

I don’t get it. I mean I get it because it’s Ninty, but I don’t get why now?

Has there been something in a major new feature update that has finally tipped the scales into clearly taking the piss, or have the legal team at Big N finally seen their erections subside after the game’s launch and only now can move enough to do something about it?

change the fact

There’s your failing.

I’m not saying he did or did not see whatever supposed corruption you’re saying is going on.

However, you’re trotting out the usual ACAB trope when you have the same level of knowledge as anyone else - that is to say, fuck all. There’s little to support your assertion of a “fact” here at all.

I’m not arsed one way or another whether you like cops or not, but at least make your arguments make sense.

Take a break. It must be tiring being this deliberately obtuse.

Do a credit card next!

Oh I like a pessimistic view - partly because it makes a discussion spicier, but also because it’s important for a user to understand the power that an instance owner wields!

Oh man, this is awesome - it’s wonderful hearing from the practitioners of the art!

I’m just trying to figure out what driver establishing the tipping point for breaking or the ban hammer - is there any empirical data to drive these decisions, or is the fediverse user base small enough that you act on “feel” or “professional instinct”?

Managing emerging technologies fascinates me so any input - including the germs you’ve already volunteered - is very much appreciated 👍

That’s a strong viewpoint and I appreciate where you’re coming from, but how many votedicks does it take to derail a post? I appreciate the fediverse is reasonably small in comparison to othe headline social media sites, but does banning one or two bots or people do enough to save posts from getting bombed?

Thamk you for the insight, instance administrator views are valuable and unique.

At the risk of sounding like I’m presenting a bad faith argument, why ban them? I don’t like the whole “free market” analogy but surely it’s one of the liberating features of federated servers, being able to to largely express your votes or content as you see fit within the legal framework of the host nation. Wouldn’t the odd one or two mass downvoters/upvoters/theyvoters ultimately be a statistical abberation or is the fediverse still small enough for this sort of shit to carry weight?

Open criticism of my view welcome, as always!

Same as the Unihertz Titan. I ran with that for two years and it was decent, if underpowered.

The dream is all but dead for all fourteen and a half of us QWERTY phone enthusiasts I think. A surprising number went to the Samsung Galaxy Flip models, though having used this for two years or so, I wouldn’t recommend it either.

Maybe one day…

Awesome, thank you. I know very little about Spanish (some may argue I know very little French too!) but I believe the general formal/informal rules are the same across most Latin languages.

Some of the quirks are cool though, like using the informal when praying to a God because apparently God knows everyone very well 🤔

It appears to be the question of using a language’s formal or informal way of addressing the second person.

Formal forms are generally used for those senior in age, rank, social standing etc - whereas the informal is used for colleagues, friends, family etc.

The question revolves around whether to use the formal conjugations based on the elder nature of the date, or the informal verb endings based on the more intimate nature of being a date.

In short, not a joke, but a headspinning social minefield for non-native speakers.

At least I think that’s the jist of it, always happy for a correction.

I’m all for bringing back National Service.

And by that, I mean that everyone should be required to work two weeks in a customer service environment - in a supermarket, in an inbound call centre, or in a coffee shop.

The basic level of communication skill and empathy I’ve learned there has set me up reasonably well in life - and it’s remarkable how far you get with another human on the other end of a phone or teller screen by just “playing the game”, “appreciating that there’s tickboxes needing to be checked” and “not being a cunt”.

I’m not saying the solution is perfect but fuck me, it would solve a lot of entitlement problems.
