eendjes, to technology in Australia’s internet providers are ditching email, to the disgust of older customers

You can always buy a domain, and let a service take care of email hosting for you. Lots of email providers allow this.

Precisely, me and my wife have switched email providers several times while keeping the same address.

It was ok. Not great, not bad. Definitely the weakest one.

eendjes, to cat in "Adopting" by Sarah C. Andersen (Sarah's Scribbles)
@eendjes@feddit.nl avatar

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.

eendjes, to foodporn in Chicken and French toast
@eendjes@feddit.nl avatar

Yeah this feels like a strange combo. Like it’s one of those meals where someone added meat because all meals must have them.

The toasts look great tho.

eendjes, to technology in A decade after a disastrous launch, is Apple Maps finally good?
@eendjes@feddit.nl avatar

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.

eendjes, to boardgames in Which super popular game were you utterly disappointed by?
@eendjes@feddit.nl avatar

Yeah. It’s a nice concept, I even think 7th Continent could be nice if they redid the rules. A vague booklet and a half hour long YouTube video is not sufficient, especially since I can’t easily look stuff up in the video. (And let’s be honest I don’t wanna watch YouTube videos when I’m playing a board game either!)

Let’s hope Citadel fixes all that.

eendjes, to asklemmy in Is it me, or the hive mind mentality has come over here as well?
@eendjes@feddit.nl avatar

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

@eendjes@feddit.nl avatar

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.

@eendjes@feddit.nl avatar

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

@eendjes@feddit.nl avatar

For me it would probably be “7th continent”. It just feels a bit undercooked and the rules are vague in a way that’s really frustrating. People really like it on BGG but I don’t get it.

eendjes, to patientgamers in The Dig (1995) Retrospective
@eendjes@feddit.nl avatar

I really loved this game but having played it again not too many years ago, it does have several “sins” of the genre like overly cryptic puzzles and pixel hunting.

But the atmosphere is really top notch.
