It's the cycle perpetuated by idiots and assholes in C-suite who either do not understand or don't care because they've chosen to prioritize short term profits over making the company sustainable: Outsource to "save money", lose money because they fired all their competent staff and are left with grossly underpaid, overworked staff on the other side of the planet who often barely give a shit or barely understand, resulting in the company having to rebuild their in house support anyhow, ultimately costing much more money but by then, the execs have probably jumped off with their golden parachute so it's no longer their problem.

Some leadership is wise enough not to do this, but it's very, very common.

We are idiots.

I'm a dude, you're a dude...

Don't bother, just make your own communities or magazines and contribute to them regularly.

"If you build it, they will come."

You can tell people about it if you like (especially if it comes up casually in conversation), but if you try to push it too hard you'll drive people away.

If the fediverse grows too quickly, it will also introduce more problems existing systems may not be able to handle.

"yall" is obviously not the problematic part of that sentence

That's how people use it, whether you like it or not. I did not invent the language, but that's how people use it.

Saying "guys" on its own is also not the same thing as "you guys" in regions that do this.

You can shoot the messenger all you like but it is what it is and I have no power over how people in a region use a language, I am merely informing you of that fact.

lmao, hard pass. Thanks.

Yeah I don't see that one going over well anywhere

People where I am from call everyone "you guys" - men, women, trans, doesn't matter, everyone is just "you guys" even when it's a woman addressing a group of women.

The literal meaning isn't gender neutral, but in actual practice, it 100% is.

As for "y'all" or "you all", I don't see how it could possibly be interpreted as offensive to any gender.

It means this is his last term, barring any changes to the law or extralegal shenanigans, period.

Give him a call and see!

It already existed, check out Lenny. Glad there are more options now though so scammers will be slower to catch on.

Nice, there's also Lenny, which is great as well.

"Annoying", "serious safety hazard", safe difference, right?

They kinda did, but it was an accident.

No thanks I already fucking paid for that and they took it away for a shittier version.

Pen and paper lol

It's probably doing all sorts of bad shit including lowering intelligence in general.

Oh guess what else lowers intelligence: Extreme heat and humidity!

Functioning as designed.
