That was exactly my point. It absolutely qualifies as “trying to/working on having a kid”, definitely as much or more so than tracking cycles for unprotected sex. Similar for the IVF process.

It’s work and it’s not easy.

You don’t need sex to have a kid, actually. There’s the adoption process and IVF as well. Both would also technically be “trying for a baby”, but people usually are more specific when talking about those.

That sounds great. No offense to OP, but even with the blur the speed of theirs would just make me anxious all the time.

Martin will never escape.

Generally speaking it rests on “god” or “gods” being beyond our comprehension. The whole “biblically accurate angel” thing isn’t just a meme, to some degree it’s also best effort attempts at making images of something described in a way that most people nowadays would consider borderline lovecraftian.

So it kinda follows that if those things are supposed to be the approachable messengers, than anything remotely human-like can’t map well to the “form” of the god over them.

Also, biblically there’s already arguments for time not being a thing for the Christian god.

If omniscience is truly what it says on the tin, there’s no reason that a being with it couldn’t care about what every creature in the universe is doing with their respective reproductive bits, as well as caring about every single more important thing everywhere, simultaneously. The whole point of omni-* in terms of gods is to be limitless.

I genuinely don’t get how you could possibly think that’s somehow mutually exclusive with believing in space/the universe. The universe is so incomprehensibly big compared to what any of us will get to directly experience in our lifetime. If anything I would think it would make it easier to believe in a being similarly incomprehensibly outside the scope of human existence, experience, and understanding. Like you’re perfectly fine with the cosmic infinities, but you can’t bring yourself to imagine some being one more level hierarchally above that?

You think that someone could look at all the amazing and wildly weird shit in this world, think that some god being made it all happen, but then also think “yeah, it definitely stopped there, no more”?

Like, I’m sure there’s plenty of people that do. There absolutely were over the course of history. But to me it just seems kind of like a huge conceptual schism to believe in some sort of god being and not believe in space/the universe/etc.

Pardon the pedanticness: Phones do NOT completely power down. The jury is out on if they are still traceable in “standby”/psuedo-powered off mode. The generally accepted advice is to treat them like they are still tracable.

There’s plenty of blame to go around on this, no need to only go after one party in the whole chain that allows this to occur.

Yeah, right? About the only thing I miss is the free time.

I have a hard time believing this isn’t a shitpost project.

Lol, yeah. There’s almost always something. I (and I think most millenials) had the housing crisis/economic crash as we entered the age of employment.

There’s no need for them to go fishing when they’ve got more incriminating shit from lemmy data for free. Community subscriptions and even up and downvotes on lemmy aren’t private.

Thanks for the clarification!

Fuck. Thanks for the clarification.

I hope it’s possible for another “framework” group to rise without federal funding. I’m well aware of the dangers of “new management”, but the knowledge and skills that are going to be lost is insane.

It is currently a hidden setting in Firefox’s about:config. They are removing it from there and no longer controlling it within Firefox itself so it will follow the setting set in you window manager (probably have the wrong term here, haven’t had my coffee yet), which is (generally) not hidden and available through a settings GUI. So you won’t have a web browser having different functionality than elsewhere on your machine.

If it’s hidden at that point, blame the window manager/desktop environment/whatever it’s called.

I thought that most of their funding wasn’t federal.

It gets better. Both in the “PTSD” and they got what’s coming to them sense. Some additional context: This was a switchover from one system to another.

They agreed to a specific special solution that my team would set up for them, different from our standard switchover for everyone else. We just needed some incredibly basic info from them that any member of that team should have been able to provide in 30 seconds.

They got the info to us two days before the deadline.

So, some stuff happened and while we had everything switched over to the new system, we didn’t actually shut down the old system for a few more weeks past the deadline we had shared. Before we shut it down I did a final scan and notified any person/team that still appeared to be using it. These problem children were, because of course they would.

Sent them the “Hey guys, you didn’t turn off your old shit pointing to the old system when you were supposed to. You’ll need to find an alternate solution now” email on a Monday. One member of their team puts in a ticket about something only tangentially related, but definitely caused by the old system shutdown, not working on Wednesday. It doesn’t reach me personally due to lack of any useful details, instead just sitting in my team’s generic queue.

That Friday, 30 fucking minutes before we close for the week, I get a response from the next manager up the chain from the one that played games with this shit earlier. Clearly the shitty manager is trying to play politics now by bringing in his own manager, who hadn’t been in the chain. “Thanks for letting us know, we’ve been trying to troubleshoot this all week! How do we resolve this?”

So, their team ignored my email. Still didn’t understand anything from any of the previous emails in the chain or else they wouldn’t have had anything to waste time failing to troubleshoot. You tried to send data to a system/server that no longer exists. Then this power play right before closing in what I think was an attempt to be able to blame me for being a week behind on something.

“You would need to follow the instructions I’ve attached from my first email about this sent to [shitty manager] on [over a month ago]. Please let me know if you jave any questions!”

Last I heard from them. Hooray!

They are setting this as an optional feature. They are not just disabling it.

You’ve critically misunderstood my post, and a few seconds looking over my previous posts and comments would make it abundantly clear that I speak/write English. To make things crystal: It’s my first language. No machine translation has been used.

Almost all of your posts, especially the titles and the display name of the community you made, use emojis in ways very similar to output from LLMs. In ways that I honestly have never seen an actual human do, unless they were doing something fucky like trying to game youtube video titles for higher views.

• They are very long winded while not saying a ton, and have some questionable turns of phrase. “Mother tongue” is an immediately present one I can point to. It’s not wrong, but quite less commonly used than “first language”.

• They match up with a pattern seen in other posters that used to spam up other free software communities on the fediverse using LLMs and machine translation.

• You have a ton of posts with very few comments, which also matches with spammers.

• I’d suggest that the large amount of downvotes this post received, as well as the upvotes my comment received, indicate that I’m not the only one who had this assumption about your post.

I spoke of privacy because I assumed you had privacy concerns. This community is on the infosec.pub instance, and cybersecurity and digital privacy tend to be a focus of posters here.

Also, I didn’t think that someone would refuse to use a bug tracker entirely as a boycott of the company hosting it. That’s extreme. At that level of “acting purely on the principal of things” than you really should make peace with not being able to use or interact with projects hosted on github, instead of looking for some way to make an end-run around the dev’s preferred bug tracking chanmel.

Regarding my suggestions of workaraounds?

Those were for your benefit. I’m not the one who clearly refuses to use github and has strong opinions about it.

I’m not surprised by the fact that devs have different priorities. And they’re allowed to.

whether it was a brain malfunction or technical.

That sort of attitude, as well as the one demonstrated up and down your comment, are a big part of why people find people who treat FOSS as a religion objectionable.

That is not the “best” you can do. It’s the least you can do.

My point was that, as you seem to be aware through experience, you can’t make other devs abide by your own principles.

Go do it the right way yourself, demonstrate it works better. Keep doing that. The more projects doing things the right way, the more momentum will shift away from github being seen as the easy standard.

Anyway, especially with this response, it seems clear that you weren’t posting looking for any options, you were posting to complain about other people “doing it wrong”. You already know there’s no way to force devs off Github, by your own admission.

Don’t bother responding further on my account. I have no interest in arguing about this sort of shit and I’ll be blocking you.

I’ll say it again: You’d get more engagement if you laid off your odd usage of emoji. It screams LLM output.

Yep. To anyone saying it takes up time that they need to get work done, remember the magic words “What would you like me to prioritize?”

Oh my god. Spend time making shit clear and concise, send the email to the manager. No response. Multiple other teams already responded to the initial email and moving smoothly.

Send a short follow up a week later with the rest of the team cc’d. Manager responds to the initial email, dropping the “hey fuckface, do your job” email from the chain.

“Please schedule a meeting with my team to discuss.” (Literal words. Nothing the fuck else.)

(Putting the dropped email and the full team back in) “According to calendars, your team is not available as a full group for two weeks. Given the tight deadline on this, if you or your team have any specific questions, I’d be happy to discuss over email.”

Nothing for two weeks, in the meeting it’s clear that none of them even attempted to read any of it.
