My government doesn't seem to be listening to me, did you have yours professionally trained or something?

You just need to donate to the ruling party or pay for the lunch and then you're good.

It's rather simple really; the secret is money.

Only then can you tame a politician.

One no more tames a politician than one tames a dog. When you stop feeding either their slab of meat, you become their next meal.

The fact that it's not listening to you does not mean it's not listening to anyone.

Our MPs are listening to the faith-based organizations bankrolled by American interests. They are listening to the Catholic Church, the Church of England, and their equivalents in the other faiths (they all condemn "vice"). They are listening to anti-porn organizations. They are listening to "think of the children" groups. They are listening to Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch. They are listening to Mumsnet. They are listening to censorship-enabling companies. They are listening to anyone with money and an interest in defining power structures to further entrench themselves.

They are listening, just not to the apathetic, individualistic know-it-alls who don't engage in politics and then complain that it's all shit.

Correct I often setup SPF/etc with the domain, no IP

When I was a teenager I played World of Warcraft for 5 years. During that time we did "raids" where 40 people have to pay attention and communicate, sometimes for longer than 8 hours, with people from around the globe.

If teenagers can do it, adults can do it. Period. And if they can't, skill issue I guess.

This assumes productive work in a highly collaborative environment. Meetings aren't usually any of those things. The rest can be done remotely.

The idea that meetings of all things are the part we need to be physically present for is hilarious

I’m absolutely shocked that people think this example is a good comparison here. If only our jobs were exactly as stimulating as a video game, and the outcomes didn’t matter at all - then maybe we could use WOW raids as evidence.

Why does Liquid do the RWF in person then?

Mostly because it’s a lot of fun to get in one room and play together. They’ve pretty consistently said that they’re not even sure that it’s a net benefit for winning.

Because they all equally share in the struggle and accomplishment. It’s an actual team not an adult daycare like most jobs.

Every recent RWF, including the one a couple of weeks ago, they have at least a few people who are still remote.

Love this example. So damn true

Comparing copying data to battery/assault is wild

I've copied your sensitive product source code before leaving for lunch then released it to the public for free. Why are you mad? We all die eventually...

Idk if I’ve ever seen an HN thread dunk on nihilists this hard. It warms my heart.

Release your source code under GPL and stop taking life so seriously

Yes, we can share, thank you

feel free to copy your bank account and routing number into the comment section

If he is European, the risk of doing that is minimal.

Because the tax man already emptied it? jk

Your misunderstanding of the point is wild. It’s not a comparison to battery/assault. It’s a reframing of the interaction to help understand the relationship at play here.

I trust matrix over signal. signal has a shitcoin and the new ceo is sketch.

I trust XMPP over Matrix. Both for security and less bloat.

GoDaddy is awful, why would anyone move TO them?

Media Temple was acquired by GoDaddy long ago.

Looks like they are just retiring the brand.

misleading title. It should be "Outlook ON MOBILE....."

Sorry if the title is unintentionally misleading. I no longer consider mobile a second class citizen; for many users today it is their only way of connecting.

But it is Microsoft Outlook, so it's not really misleading, you just assumed incorrectly.

Microsoft themselves have named it Outlook. Not "Outlook on mobile".

This is actually a good thing, it'll help with adoption.

Yo ho yo ho...
