I don't know if the functionality exists yet for the mods/admins, but I think it's pretty safe to assume any links pointing to that domain are coming from bots/spammers and the accounts should just be automatically banned. I first saw that site linked to about 2 days ago from variations on the username "johnson", then from a (new) account named debbie, and today from kelvinwashington to worldnews and now here.
It's all clickbait ad-laden garbage and it's getting tiresome having to report each instance of it.
Seems more economic than political to me, but also why such the strong reaction to an on-topic reply? As you even said yourself:
I don’t really care all that much about any particular issue. I enjoy copying the ideas suggested by others in the fediverse and transforming them into new issues, as many individuals do not take this initiative.
Your account has existed for all of 3 hours and you're trying to come off like a well-known fixture of the community whose opinions are above reproach. I'll also say it seems suspect how quickly detracting comments are earning downvotes but not replies in this post.
In short, I don't believe you, your post or its engagement, are sincere.
Imagine a social media landscape where every piece of content is perfectly tagged
working tirelessly to make your online experience safer and more enjoyable
All of this feels a little disingenuous when it's not even mentioned that all this tagging and classifying would also make it much easier for training LLMs or tracking groups/individuals/movements.
Username Johnsoncentral, registered ~50 minutes ago, linking to the domain central24 -- pretty sure their intention isn't to inform but to drive traffic to their site.
I don’t mean that the contact should be deleted, I think it should still be in the database. For the reason you said, so you can see the history of activity. But I’m saying there should be a way to mark they’re not at that organization anymore. A one click button that flags them as past employee rather than active - and then those contacts are still in the database but displayed differently to make it easier for the sale team to direct their attention.
The database does not include that boolean field that can be queried and acted upon. The front end viewer class doesn't have methods to change the presentation of results. It would require someone to implement those features and that would either cost money or development time.
What's a philosophical equivalent of the above response to your open ended, no specific answer, question?
I get that I'm either the guidance counselor in Clerks searching for the perfect carton or Harry from In Bruges [NSFW], but I still believe that rules and principles are important and there's no reason to have them if they aren't enforced.
Breaking windows isn't beneficial because it keeps the glass manufacturers and installers busy. Rules and purpose descriptions are decided on or dictated to be used to shape the culture of a given community; if we want to just have any-old-content-at-all there would be no reason to have categories like "Movies" and "Pictures" and we could just post and link anything everywhere. Since Ask Lemmy states its purpose is "A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions" I propose a more appropriate version of your question would be more like:
"Why don't companies prioritize tools that increase the efficiency of their workers?"
or
"Why are companies complacent about correcting workplace impediments?"
etc.
Those questions could encompass many industries and can describe digital and physical tools. A pointed "Why doesn't x software work like y" is closer to seeking support than crowdsourcing opinions.
The rules are clearly not enforced in this community. This troll posted obvious bait yesterday too, was reported, and the post is still up and they have not been warned/banned.
Do you suspect there's a larger reason than they just haven't built in that functionality and don't consider it a priority? What kind of answers are you expecting to get from this community? What reasons have the companies that lacked this feature given you when you asked about it?
We wanted to announce that we will be attempting to upgrade Lemmy.World to version 0.19.3 on Saturday.
I don't regularly deal with converting between timezones but I'm unable to figure out whether this upgrade is happening on Saturday or Sunday. My calendar shows March 3rd as being Sunday.
Extra impressive considering what dinopad10 mentioned in the comments:
This is made more amazing after realizing he’s moving left to right in the traditional low to high pitches in the audience perspective, but contrary to his own. In other words, as he moves to HIS left, the “notes” raise in pitch, but this is to the right in the audience perspective, so he’s switching it in his own mind.
From what I can find, it's actually the demo Christmas NiGHTS into Dreams... that did that. The full game also uses the system time for changes but not that specifically-
The A-Life system features an evolving music engine, allowing tempo, pitch, and melody to alter depending on the state of Nightopians within the level. The feature runs from the Sega Saturn's internal clock, which alters features in the A-Life system depending on the time.
EDIT: Not particularly exciting, but I found and took a picture of my copies - evidently the Christmas demo came from Blockbuster Video.
