CetaceanNeeded , to asklemmy in The last time you were wearing a hat, what type was it?

An Akubra which I have had for about 18 years. It’s like a cowboy hat but Australian and made from rabbit fur felt.

pemptago , to selfhosted in What's currently (2024) the best self-hosted alternative for a Facebook Wall type of user experence?

Misskey is a federated facebook alternative I heard about on mastodon recently. I’m not too familiar with it myself, but seems worth mentioning.

It has a “groups” feature that might avoid the “instance per person” lemmy workaround you were thinking about. According to this comparison misskey doesn’t have a like button, but a few of its forks do. Not sure about the upload experience; may depend on the app. I didn’t see any clients listed on their site but did a quick search for an iOS app, which exists, so i assume android, too.

Sorry I don’t have more info, but I hope that’s useful. Best of luck! I’ll be looking for a similar solution in the near future.

What pests are wasps and hornets killing? The wasps and hornets *are" the pests to me.

Alice ,

Not sure about hornets, but I know wasps eat a lot of herbivorous bugs like aphids and caterpillars.

A lot of people see eating caterpillars as one of the “bad” things wasps do, but population control is necessary if we want crops.

@Farmer_Heck@lemmygrad.ml avatar

all of the people who were part of Anonymous who were worth a damn at hacking back in the day work for the state department now. The movement could very likely have been a psyop, given how many high-level hackers from that era there are on government payroll.

I stand in solidarity with the gay furry hackers.

When I saw the title, my first reaction was to talk it out and explain your feelings to her. Once I read the rest, though, I changed my mind.

This is shaming and bullying. Sex is also a huge no-no. A supervisor should know better. HR is probably your best option.

I know that for years it’s been popular to say things like “HR exists to protect the company, not you.” In many cases, that’s still true. However, companies (and society in general) have become more sympathetic to issues like yours. They’d rather discipline people like her than deal with the multimillion dollar settlements that people like her cause.

HR does exist to protect the company, but sometimes that aligns with your needs. In this case, HR is likely more interested in avoiding a sexual harassment case (which would cost the company), so they’re probably going to hear you out.

SeaJ ,

One note: document everything brought up to HR. If it is a small HR department, they could very well be friends with the supervisor and take their side. HR does indeed exist to protect the company but it is also made up of people (often extroverted ones). Documenting everything can help you out if there is any sort of retaliation. A threat of a lawsuit is absolutely something that can make a company be very apologetic and much more generous. I have had several friends that made sure they documented everything and were given six months severance when there was a possibility of a lawsuit.

CuddlyCassowary , to asklemmy in what would be the best way to tell your supervisor to stop inquiring about your personal life and mobbing you into opening up?

I’m an extrovert. That’s not the problem. This is social bullying. Please don’t frame this as “extrovert” behavior. This is reprehensible social interaction. As an extrovert I would NEVER talk about personal experiences at work. I would NEVER ask anyone to participate in my conversations unless they clearly wanted to. Stop conflating extroversion with bullying.

otp ,

The problem is caused by a combination of extraversion and low social intelligence.

Extraversion isn’t the problem, and I didn’t get the sense that OP was saying all extraverted people are like this. But the problem is undoubtedly related to the boss’ extraversion

@vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works avatar

They (I use that term to mean the average 4channer) were co-opted by alt right propaganda.

Most neckbeard, incel, Andrew Tate followers are what Anon originally was. We just lied to ourselves that it wasn’t really racist and that we were fighting a good fight.

Now, its a bunch of sad lonely people that found acceptance in intolerance and hatred.

Well that is kind of depressing.

If you only look at it from that angle, yeah. I bet the next generation of Anonymous is growing right now, though.

@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

They fizzled out, members probably moved on to various other groups and projects, while the rest simply went on with their lives. A danger of being decentralized is losing all of your momentum.

The other commenter is more right, anyway. A lot of the dudes got arrested. I think the chances of that are low here, for now.
