In the other hand it’s half way through the week.

Kevin needs help.

It’s amazing to see all these memes and meme templates the last few days. That was peak Reddit back in 2009-10.

I feel good for lemmy if this continues.

Your point is incorrect. It is not needlessly complicated. It has to do with mainframe batch processing times.

It’s not a conspiracy, it is a technical challenge that is not easy to some. It is complicated, but not needlessly. If it was easy, it would have been fixed.

I am sure there are a number of private companies that do the same but simply don’t tell you.

E.g., every bank has a cut off time for transfers, same reason.

I am a cyclist and I approve this message.

I think this is the most reasonable take on musk that I have seen in a long time.

Thanks.

The karma though is what drove Reddit adoption to an extent. Gamification helps. It helped Reddit, it helped robinhood stocks app.

Maybe fediverse needs some gamification.

Or maybe not. Facebook and YouTube seem to be doing fine just using the line/unlike button.

Massive frame batch processing is the usual reason.

And before it ask why not replace it, the short answer outs it is complicated.

It might be a question better speed in eli5.

Come on. If you actually worked for social security you have to know why. It’s is related to mainframe batch processing.

But I can see why you might say what it did. Maybe you think it seems cooler to simply dump on the government it meant your 20 years of experience is 1 year repeated 290 times. So really 1 year of experience but you just got older.

There is a reason and not what you think.

This is the real answer. Main frame batch processing.

And till you haven’t experienced it, it seems like an excuse. Why can’t you simply do it all the time. Why can’t you get rid of the mainframe, etc.

But if only it were that easy. There is a reason IBM can still acquire multi billion dollar companies and then run them into the ground.

My company has maybe a couple million customers and can’t get rid of its mainframe and in areas that it’s gotten the process away from the mainframe, batch patronizing is still a thing. Because that is the only way to guarantee integrity.

So yea. I wish your comment gets more up votes. Because it is not a conspiracy, it is a technical limitation.

Beautiful.

Can you provide any more details about how you did it? Sounds like I need to do this.

Yup. Unless I am clear on what I should be addressing a person as, I simply use the name.

Pretty sure that’s offensive as well. I just use the name speaking about the person with someone else. “Ed asked me to speak with you. Ed mentioned that Ed was not going to join our meeting.”, etc.
