@mekkaokereke the "character flaw" people is the same underlying impulse as people who won't vote for cancelling student debt because "I had to deal with it, so why should you have it easier"

@inthehands none of the above, the correct answer is "theft"

@michaelgemar @916253 that doesn't fit the first part of the statement unfortunately

Myers-Briggs is astrology for managers

@ryanc @SiteRelEnby @dioux70 @mos_8502 that also works though these days I'm jaded enough to say "no I won't" without a reason. My device, I don't need one.

@SiteRelEnby @dioux70 @mos_8502 to elaborate slightly in case the implications are not already known - MDM software grants the entity running the service (the employer in this case) a degree of control over what is installed on the device, and visibility in to what happens on it. Possibly complete control and visibility. There's good reason for orgs to want this - but it's absolutely unreasonable for them to expect employees to put it on a personal device. Despite this, many expect it anyway.

@inthehands yeah that whole thing stank to me like a week old kipper

@mattly somebody poisoned the watering hole!

@oscherler @emilygorcenski the architecture -felt- really London-y so I was thinking that direction but it took me a while to find a clue that proved it - there's a partially obscured street name on one of the shops, but you can clearly see the postcode "W1", which means smack bang in the centre, that's Westminster.

Woo, feeling pretty good about that.

And yes you're right, 2km?! I think I got my pin less than 0.02km from the right spot lol

@emilygorcenski where did you guess for #1? I put near Denver

Also for #3 I used to live less than 5 miles from that spot and I didn't recognise it 😬

@emilygorcenski @mcc @stewartsmith I assume that's their terms and conditions state that by posting it on their site, you give them the copyright

@kraftner @rimu @jalefkowit the problem with this is, to someone who's just installing the code by clicking a gui, how do you -know- it's shitty code you should avoid underneath?

I try to keep myself safe by only using highly reviewed plugins with shit tons of downloads, but I know this is a fairly terrible crutch.

@lain depends what its job was. If it was a builder, it would be the first one

@thomasfuchs ARGH WHY NO NO NO

Please help @ryanc beat some sense in to the UK court system to permit official recognition of their gender https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/non-binary-recognition/

As I understand it the most recent ruling can be summed up as:

"Yes the government discriminated against you, and it would recognise your gender legally if you were British, but because you're foreign it's too haaaaaard 😢"

This is of course a bullshit excuse, but challenging it is expensive.

@emilygorcenski you seem to know quite a bit about construction! How come?

AI is not coming for your job.

Shareholders are coming for your job. AI is just the boogeyman they're going to blame it on.

@dalias @pettter @mw1cgg the people with leverage probably aren't signing the same contract because senior managers and board staff will get a different one with friendlier terms
