Western workplace? It shows up everywhere. Beauty tools and products are some of the most common artifacts found by archeologists. The silk road carried uncountable tons of materials for makeup, clothing, and jewelry. Do you think Mao or Lenin went around in their pajamas smelling like they haven't bathed in a year?
This isn't a western thing. It's a human thing.
Damn straight. MIT license is where it's at.
What's that I hear? It sounds like Grace Hopper cackling from the grave...
Man, I really need to sit down and learn to carve. That lid is beautiful.
Sure, I'll just smuggle in European toilets to replace the perfectly serviceable toilets in my house.
Shall I remove the toilet seats and paper as well to really get that "Spanish gas station" feel?
Or maybe - just maybe - it's not a big enough problem for anyone to take the time to fix.
It's been bad for me.
All those hate filled posts everyone talks about? I never saw those on Reddit, because I had a couple dozen technical subs (r/emacs, r/PLC, etc.) that I'd browse and rarely if ever strayed from those. Reddit was big enough that the specialized subreddits generated enough content for my use case.
Some of those communities exist here, but they're practically empty. So I wind up doom scrolling on All, which is full of tankie garbage and political propaganda.
I dunno, while I like the idea of Lemmy, I don't think it's likely to ever get the traffic you need for my kind of use. I probably just need to diversify my phone use and visit other sites.
It's necessary for 4chan, yes.
Yes, but people tend to have the habit of flushing at least twice in hopes the second time works, despite past experience.
That won't stop it from overflowing. You need to pop the lid off the toilet, push the float down, and unhook the chain going to the flap.
Most office jobs.
My father is barely literate and has been a trucker for over 30 years.
Some of these issues are ones that were experienced and solved by the big IRC networks. They used different methods - nick registration and authentication via a bot, for instance.
The source for many of those is available. Why not see how others solved the problems? A brief look at the Charybdis IRCd source (at least the Freenode version) shows capabilities for limiting channel creation to authenticated users and what looks like built-in ChanServ and NickServ.
In any event, you may be worrying over nothing. I ran a friends-only IRC server back in the day and didn't have issues with impersonation. I rarely saw any unknown users and it was easy to detect them because they weren't part of my circle of friends. We had a couple bots that logged the channel and provided various services - it wouldn't be hard to have one enforce security.
