This is really sad but I can’t fault you at all for this decision. I’ve seen these images before and have always thought what a scary thing this has to be for an instance owner.

I just wanted to say that you have done a great job and I really enjoyed this instance. I grew up in the DMV and this felt like a little niche family I was a part of. I always thought this instance had great growth potential and I hope things improve in the near future where you feel safe enough to return.

Full support as always and thanks for all the hard work. Gonna miss it!

Agreed. We turned it off almost instantly at my last company. Now we use Teams. I miss those video backgrounds.

He should be forced to plant $7k worth of trees. Absolute trash man

Florida really is the “hold my beer” state.

MAGA crowd, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

In my humble opinion of course

TikTok is garbage and I don’t care how much my mate tries to get me to join, every time he sends me a link to some portrait mode video I cringe.

Everyone is a “content creator” nowadays. Which just makes the majority of said content complete shit.

Zero times. If it’s worth looking at it’ll make its way eventually to another platform that’s less of an ass fissure

I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life. Only the last 10 years has that improved but it will always be a struggle.

Kids are assholes and I was tormented all through grade school up until my last year of middle school. That’s when I was strong (and fed up) enough to protect myself.

Before that I used humor to try and deflect. Self deprecation, deflection, and sometimes just avoiding the situation altogether. Which meant isolation for the most part.

My “solution” isn’t recommended but ultimately giving the bullies a taste of their medicine kept them away. But I suffered immensely prior to that. It fucks you up for life.

I’m on that Mr Rogers rotation: Twice a day. I work out daily which always includes cardio so changing socks is a must lol.

Same here and I cancelled Netflix back when they announced they were cracking down on shared accounts. Arrrrrrr

Because if you are accessing company data, the company needs to ensure it’s safe. If you don’t want outlook or Teams access, you don’t have to enroll your device. In some cases companies will purchase a corporate owned device for you. An MDM allows companies to restrict copying data from work to personal and vice versa. If your device gets stolen and is compromised, it allows the company to wipe it. It can also locate the decide if it’s lost.

Yeah I have looked at those solutions and one not on your list (MobileIron, not sure if they’re still around). I don’t know why anyone would choose those solutions but good call.

I can’t read your emails, text messages, I can’t remote into your phone without your permission. The info we have is very limited. You know how we can see that information? If you gave us your phone and password :-)

I’m not sure what MDM you’re subjected to but I’ve been an MDM engineer for 7 years using Intune and JAMF and no, no SMS or phone records. Even the phone # is blanked out minus the last 4 digits. Yes we can wipe the devices if it’s lost\compromised but personal versus corporate owned devices are limited. I can’t see what apps you have that were personally installed. And the only info I can get are the device stats (SN, IMEI, storage, battery, memory, etc).

These people really don’t know how MDM solutions work.

Found poison ivy instead

“Technically” you don’t need a car door to drive a vehicle but it helps.

Oh… Car **though **

That looks like some expensive real estate. But it’s the need to get workers to collaborate in person “eye to eye” and absolutely nothing to do with the enormous monthly rent they can’t get out of. /s

I’m American and a) don’t equate an accent to a demeanor and b) I find Tom to be a joy.

I’ve never felt older

“See that door marked Pirate?”

It’s the McDonalds of Italian cuisine

Artemis has been so quiet. Does this mean anything for the app itself? It’s been lacking kbin.social support for months despite it “coming soon” for just as long. Nothing from the dev either.

Or… and hear me out… we eat the rich.

Pull yourself up by your parent’s bootstraps

The “Panda Express”. That’s fantastic

I’ll give them a one time payment of $10 to fuck off

Under promise, over deliver. A true engineer.

Hi. Nobody here 👋 I enjoy Mastodon and although nowhere near the same engagement as Shitter, I enjoy the content more. Some people like different things

The whole “clean energy will take your jobs” rhetoric was indeed complete BS.

Early voting in Virginia started five weeks ago. The issue is still not fully resolved, and election day is next week.

Definitely not planned /s

“Worth their time” ? Copy\paste the text into Mastodon. Post Done

I can empathize with the reluctance to completely jump ship but it costs nothing (both money and time) to cross post to another platform.

It’s increasingly never coming to my area

Never left

“It’s electric”

Boogie woogie woogie

Tired of people whining but here you are
