I’m an accountant.

The best accounting software will be the one your accountant uses.

When clients are on the same platform that I use internally everything just matches up and it’s beautiful and elegant and amazing.

When clients are using something else it just doesn’t fit our workflows and it’s just more of a fuck around, which of course the client gets charged for.

This is about as witty as a box of rocks, just like it was when it was invented in 2007.

Ginger tea is my bag baby yeah.

Vitamins yeah that’s no good.

Things like fruit, honey, or flowers must be good though right?

I mean, my wife’s honey pomegranate and hybiscus body scrub must be amazing with all that fruity yummy stuff.

Mozilla should make a search engine.

I know they will lose all that sweet google revenue.

I’m convinced that most people just don’t do very much real actual problem solving work.

Imagine if voters only voted for responsible people who would make good presidents.

fair enough. I didn’t read every comment.

That doesn’t sound like what’s happening here. It’s a family business. I think OP is the entire IT department.

No it’s not an issue. It’s probably more a me thing than a her thing. I’m probably hyperaware of avoiding the personal space of others.

LOL I’m sorry my opinion is so annoying LOL.

This probably applies to bosses in any role. That said, this boss is not an IT guy, he’s a manager in a “health” business employing an IT guy. Why wouldn’t you tell the IT guy you hired about your IT requirements?

Do you have to herd her around the supermarket? I’m forever guiding my mrs out of the way of other shoppers. No spatial awareness bless her.

This is my guess.

You’d think OPs boss would just tell him that though.

“We can’t upgrade because of <whatever software> I’m keen to hear what we can do to mitigate the security risk”.

We didn’t migrate “as a community”. All the same communities still exist on reddit.

Good lord. If you think lemmy votes are an indicator of solid reasoning I don’t know what to tell you.

Communities aren’t going to move away from lemmy.ml because no one cares enough about this issue.

You can dream that that’s how communities ought to work but they just don’t.

It’s as though you only read the last sentence of my comment

Disagree.

In my experience ist the vast majority of mods on any platform. Lemmy has some of the worst in my experience.

The solution is… to abandon the notion that there’s some special utopia where we might reside.

There’s an idea that we all need to find or build some special platform which is going to be a home for all our communities and be transparent and balanced and free from corporate influence and perpetually shiny and awesome. It’s not only unachievable but probably not desirable either.

Instead, embrace the reality that the communities we want to engage with will be in different places on different platforms and each will have different issues.

There’s some niche communities on reddit, and yes that platform is run by a corporation but that doesn’t bother me when I’m only there to find a new recipe for snack that matches my diet requirements. I despise facebook but I do use their marketplace to sell junk my wife buys online. I’m aware of the privacy issues with telegram but that’s where I have a family chat group with my sisters. I recently discovered an XMPP channel about DIY bike maintenance which has been amazingly helpful, but I don’t like the XMPP clients I’ve tried. The forum on a torrent tracker I use is a great place to find new books to read but I need to use a VPN to access it.

My point is, the best part of the modern web is the disparate platforms we have available. Every platform has it’s own character, and caveats to be mindful of.

The kind of censorship you’re talking about is obviously repugnant, but the reality is that it’s just something to keep in mind when participating in lemmy.ml communities. You can refuse to participate there if you wish, but a mass-exodus on that basis just isn’t how things should work in 2024.

meh. I don’t think anyone is that interested.
