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.

I have moved to a new country myself (from within Europe to within Europe). I feel such articles often underestimate how important culture and language is for us to work together. Beyond just skills and education. Ironically though, employment is a quick way to learn how to fit in.

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.

I’m having trouble finding a government source on this, as it would be useful for us to know if we need the UKCA mark or not after all on our export products.

But I’m frankly not surprised, there’s so many regulatory things regarding the UK that’s just in limbo, making it really annoying for us to actually follow the rules. Our company has more than once considered just pulling out of that market.

Tho finding CE marking on goods that shouldn’t have them (typically from china bought via ebay/ali/etc) is not particularly hard.

But yes, even my company has had mishaps with the CE logo on our products, and in that case it’s not because we are trying to be misleading. The primary reason in our case was that the laser printer software is shite and sometimes just changes things for “fun”.

I also have several projects where I’m the only user, but I wouldn’t let that stop me from adding features for fun and exercise.

It’s not for me though. But I want to stress it’s not because I dislike it, but I find that seeing something blurred almost highlights something that’s gonna annoy me is here. Otherwise my brain would just kinda blank it. Good job tho, and I hope folks here are more interested.

In our friend group, Ultimate chicken horse fills that niche too. It does require a bit more individual skill, but it’s a great “shenanigans beget shenanigans” kind of game.

Something to keep in mind is that gaming laptops are large, heavy and clunky. For my own studies it was definitely a mistake, as it was a real hassle and I only occasionally needed the extra power.

I would go for an iPad and a desktop for gaming at home personally.

That’s likely the culprit. We have these containers that store trash underground, so the entry is at hip height.

There’s still the occasional idiot who manages to break it though and then people pile up the trash.

Are people actually experiencing shortages tho? I just waltzed into the local store and picked up a copy. No biggie.
