How did moz shoot themselves in the foot? I am genuinely asking as I missed any controversy.

I’ve hit the end of your dialog tree i see. All flash, no fury.

Lol, lmao, he said, rofl. Pathetic.

Dudes so focused on not leaving the character select screen, he didn’t realise he had passed it, he just never bothered levelling up.

I’ll do whatever I want you sack of shit

Always makes me laugh reading stuff like the comment you replied to. The UN isn’t a stick to beat countries with, it’s primarily a round table to get otherwise-adversaries to talk.

You can figure it out

Exactly. So it’s pure surreptitious data exfiltration. They only reason they send the data back is because they can, and there is value for them.

I think yes, to your first question. Couldn’t it just crunch the lidardata locally to feed into cartographer, I don’t understand why you don’t understand that this is the issue.

If you’re suggestion is that lonely people are all dickheads… then you, sir, are a cad

The problem is people are crabs in a bucket. Same shit when minimum wages go up, or on a lower community level, when people’s friends do well they get shitty too. People are the worst.

Everyone in here crying about artist getting money and trying to make me think it’s a bad thing is summarily dismissed from my mind.

*hedonic treadmill.

Yeah, lots of sour grapes in here. It’s kinda pathetic.

Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the world governments.

Ah nice good to know.

Isn’t it much softer too? Ie, it’ll be all scratched to hell by day to day wear?

I speak for most of the world here when I say, yes.

Brilliant. It’s so valuable to have a manager that actually treats you like a professional in these situations. Sounds like a diamond in the rough alright.

Some agency when working goes a long way to fostering a really good working relationship. I’m still a lot earlier in my career, so generally in my first non-internship role I was expecting to be given little bits of work like change this button, widen this form, that kind of stuff.

Turns out I’d joined one of those “sink or swim” smaller companies where you have to wear a lot of hats. Initially I thought quite negatively about it but once I started to gain some confidence I realised he was giving me the time and space to properly learn stuff and develop it until it was “good”. He, thankfully, still shoots down my sillier ideas but if I have a good one he throws his full support behind me.

Currently he was like, I need you to investigate how to set up automated fraud prevention checks and flag, let’s say things, for clients to investigate further, and he sent me off for a week to analyse the problem, speak to everyone involved and gather a list of data points and how to calculate them. Then he gave me the time to design the system, including the mental room to develop our first shared lib after .net framework.

Really I’m rambling a bit, but my point is, you can get a lot of good work out of people if you invest in them and allow them some agency. Maybe some can’t work well without constant pressure, but I think a lot of people thrive when supported and enabled correctly by management.

Techno-solutionist lol. The power of labels eh?
