There is nothing in this audio recording that I find particularly concerning other than James' comment. It sounds just like a standard meeting that I would have had during a morning brief. Knowing the context of James' comment was directed at Linus, who is a close friend, probably smirked and kept on going.

When you add the context of sexual harassment, it doesn't look good and is an inappropriately timed joke. However, nothing about the meeting indicates that it was about sexual harassment in particular from listening to the audio. If I missed it, please inform me.

Maybe it is because I heard these types of conversations frequently, it doesn't seem like a big deal. They even say you can contact a manager, Linus or Yvonne, or the anonymous hotline. So people have options if they have a problem in particular with leadership.

I am not dismissing that sexual harassment may have taken place, but from the context from the audio given, it doesn't appear anyone speaking knows about it.

Look, I agree its bad but let's not blow it out of proportions here. It is not the "world's strongest hurricane" it is only the 4th world's strongest hurricane. Major difference.

I think it would be better to say "Twitter, currently branded as X" it is both useful and makes it look like it is just a cringy phase a teenager might go through temporarily. So you should just ignore the change and it will eventually resolve itself.

Seriously now, how many times has this happened?

Yes, but that kinda defeats the point of an open knowledge library for all. This is a problem that should be fixed with legislation and not artificial blocking. We shouldn't punish the unfortunate for being stuck with the stupid.

"Do I look like I know what a Wayland is?"

You shouldn't buy a framework because you will be robbing yourself of the joy of a brand new laptop every 3 to 5 years because the battery is not replaceable or the WiFi chip went bad and it is soldered in. Think of all the innovations you will be missing out on because you are just swapping parts out like some kind of animal.

Do you think this is some kind of investment or something? Computers are just disposable things that everyone can afford. Why bother fixing things? I just have my butler go grab me a new one whenever I accidentally drop it in the pool while browsing on my floating inflatable chair.

Yeah, I think I would probably hate myself and Christmas after that as well. A dark reminder where the nightmares come earlier every year as stores and the media start celebrating earlier and earlier.

Anon needs to find a new holiday to get excited about with him, because this one ain't it, chief.

That's the thing though. When we schedule those days off, it is more of a friendly notice than a request. I am going, you can't stop me. If you would rather have to replace an employee and retrain them, be my guest. Its not worth it for them unless you do something easily replaceable.

God this makes me miss my brother. He's not dead, but gaming with him was some of my best memories. Unfortunately, it is hard to make those new memories as he is a very busy guy and our schedules don't line up.

Corporate suicide is so hot right now, all the cool companies are doing it. Are you really even trying if you can't feel the pain of the bullet in your foot?

The amount of people that get personally attached to their roombas is quite considerable. Assigning them names and personalities is common. Generally the helpless little goofball that gets stuck on things periodically personality is endearing.

I have a spare 100 or so Terabytes and I can fit roughly another quarter petabyte in my server. I would like to help. I will look more into this potentially tomorrow when I have some free time. The preservation of knowledge is too important.

I thought the manager was going to yell at them for doing something nice. This however was much worse. Lol

LTT is trying to be reliable, but they aren't giving themselves the time to do it. Mistakes are made and aren't corrected or aren't corrected in the best way.

I am under the belief that there was no murder and he had a preexisting condition of lead poisoning. As such, we unfortunately do not cover these kinds of conditions in our penal system and his claim must be denied.

This crosses me as a story you aren't willing to share with anyone but internet strangers. Your contribution to human knowledge will not be forgotten.

It is believed that people can have visions or hallucinations that will match whatever they believe in when they are dying. For some it is Jesus, for others it is nothing or memories. It is interesting to think about that when dying or being close to it, your brain will just make up whatever makes it feels the most reassured. The real question is why?

Its not easy to build a social media app, forking it won't make it any easier to solve this particular problem. Joining forces to tackle an inevitable problem is the only solution. The Lemmy devs are more than willing to accept pull requests for software improvements.

I don't personally feel this is the correct response, but what do you think?
