Girl is doing her best and changing what she can reasonably change within her locus of control.
I was at a tech conference job fair and chatting with a bunch of former game programmers.
I absolutely messed up when I asked one guy who worked on a famous game why they decided to do X feature, and if that was the reason for the game’s failure.
He looked me in the eyes and said something like, “I get orders from the business execs. So even if their ideas are obviously bad, if I don’t do it, I get replaced. After the game is released, good or bad, I get replaced. If the game doesn’t even get enough funding, I get replaced.”
Gaming industry seems so toxic.
Good. At a company, you get your ass fired if they catch you using non-approved equipment on company infrastructure. It can lead to leaks and infiltration, and lost of revenue.
In the military, that’s people’s lives!
Every time I see this implemented, it always seems like screwing over the end user who is trying to join for the first time. Platforms like reddit and Tumblr benefit from a friction-free sign up system.
Imagine how challenging it is for someone joining Lemmy for the first time and suddenly having to provide trust elements like answering a few questions, or getting someone to vouch for them.
They’ll run away and call Lemmy a walled garden.
It’s reporting activity, not banning people (or bots)
Doing minor “crime” in school was how I became a programmer!

Unhelpful because it happens so frequently?
Police can lie. And because OP has added to the potential crime scene, they are now a potential person to interrogate.
Do it anonymously.
That’s actually a good barometer.
If it’s a thing where it’s potentially violent, like a guy with a bat smashing up parked cars, call the police.
A crazy man talking about how the Lizard men have taken his stereo, I’m calling the non-emergency number or ask 911 to send behavioral specialists.
Still waiting on approval for more resources. It’s not a priority in the company.
I swear we have like 4 runners on a raspberry pi.
Envious. It averages 15-30 mins
Android ecosystem is not so much better.
I’ve been a supporter of web apps. Unfortunately it cuts into app store profits so it’s often shit on.
Sorry those people sound like morons.
Work pays for everything for me. I work at a major tech company with thousands of employees nationwide.
I’m given a top of the line laptop. Im given a credit to buy anything I need to improve my home office. Their tech and purchases are theirs and when I leave, it gets shipped back.
Using personal equipment at your workplace? Triple yikes. If your company does something illegal, your personal equipment gets confiscated by police. If your company’s network gets infected, your personal info like banking/CC gets stolen too.
Yeah I can see it being pretty aggressive. It’s like being punished for something a neighbor did. It would not make them feel good and even push them to give the double middle fingers akimbo to Brazil.
This is a very rude question, but on this subject of being lean, I looked up your 990, and you pay yourself less than … well, you pay yourself half or a third as much as some of your engineers.
Yes, and our goal is to pay people as close to Silicon Valley’s salaries as possible, so we can recruit very senior people, knowing that we don’t have equity to offer them. We pay engineers very well. [Leans in performatively toward the phone recording the interview.] If anyone’s looking for a job, we pay very, very well.
But you pay yourself pretty modestly in the scheme of things.
I make a very good salary that I’m very happy with.
That’s pretty cool. But knowing the number would matter.
That was what I thought five years ago. I was on the verge of removing it, and the android Facebook app killed my phone’s battery, so delete it went.
And suddenly all my family drama stopped and if someone needs to get in touch with me, how surprising that they still found a way.
