If the software was designed without continuous input from the frontline users, they will struggle.

A doctor in my country coded his own practice management software and now it’s the leading PMS in the country. I like to assume it went something along the lines of “fuck this shit I’ll just code my own rather than keep using this trash”.

They treat you so poorly in these programs, it would be called abuse in any other field.

Maddening is right on. The fact the so much of the old guard has the “we suffered through it so now you should too” mindset as well. More than once during my brothers residency a senior doctor has attempted to throw him under the bus as well. Credit to them because it’s a solid “no thanks” from me.

This raises a lot of good points. My brother went through the medical program and probably did more study in his undergraduate/post grad than id be capable of in a lifetime. The workload they do just to get their degree is insane.

I’m in a similar camp having been around computers and tech since I was a kid. I think people under estimate how much age can factor into your ability to learn new things. We grew up with computers essentially as they became main stream and rolled out into schools/libraries. My parents got physically assaulted by adults in school if their cursive wasn’t up to par.

So not only were they entering adulthood/adults by the time these devices became mainstream but their entire life they were trained for a different skills/mindset. Sure some of them jumped on (I randomly have an uncle who is a farmer out in rural Aus who gave us CD-ROM games as a kid). The rest had no incentive initially and how much time does any of us have to learn a new skill outside work? Then they realise it isn’t just a fad or something just for taxes and are immediately behind the curve as it rapidly progressed. Doctors still use faxes here, write handwritten notes extensively, use prescription pads and would probably use pens/pencils exclusively if practice management software weren’t so useful. Plus think of how much Windows alone as an OS has changed since 95, let alone all the office suites, web and hardware that goes along with it.

Don’t get me wrong I also catch myself thinking “shit you'd think these people would learn the fundamentals of something they rely so heavily on to make money” but also think they deserve a bit of understanding too. We got lucky we grew up alongside it.

Hey, I just wanted to say I’m really sorry you’re going through this—it sounds incredibly overwhelming and isolating. I can’t imagine how exhausting it must be to feel like no one is on your side or even willing to listen.

When things start to feel like they’re always connected or targeted at you, even if others don’t see it, it might be worth checking in with a doctor—just to rule out anything physical or mental that could be amplifying your stress. Stuff like sleep issues, environmental things (like carbon monoxide as already mentioned; there was another users whose dad went through super similar because of CO poisoning), or even long-term anxiety can really mess with our perspective sometimes.

That doesn’t mean your experience isn’t real or that people aren’t being awful—it just means it might help to have someone supportive and objective help you sort through it. You don’t deserve to feel like this alone.

I’ve not used it extensively but never had it crash and it’s also undergone several large patches in recent times. Give it a go, it’s free after all.

572.xx absolutely killed reforger for a good amount of people in our discord. Ending up briefly killing attendance too which was annoying.

Checks out. Got to capitalise on having his asset installed in the highest office of the US before things risk stabilising.

Huge praise tbh, would be flustered/10.

The soldiers still aren’t accounted for from my understanding.

Love having small as fuck captions while the posters “wow omg so true” takes up half the screen space.

That sure is one way to represent what happened. Also damn BBC is a rag.

Ms Jones posted an Instagram reel of herself on an unidentified roadside picking up the baby wombat and running towards the camera with the joey in her arms as its mother ran after it.

The footage featured the joey squirming and screeching before Ms Jones put it back on the road.

Ms Jones deleted the the video after animal welfare advocates criticised her over her treatment of the joey

Lol at this post after reading an article about this company being on the verge of going out of business.

It's a preposterous claim with absolutely no evidence supporting it. Any idiot can see it doesn't withstand a moment's thought.

claim with absolutely no evidence supporting it

I work in tech

Multiple sources including a fucking Microsoft researcher

Bayesian filtering is a legacy strategy and Microsoft, for example, does not use it any more (because it’s inferior) except for legacy on-prem setups. Given you’ve attempted to be insulting, put words in my mouth and failed to provide supporting articles for your opinion I’m out. As I get enough of these sort of conversations at work and unless I start billing you... Lol’d at “Mr exchange server admin” though ngl.

Never claimed that, said that because that’s why I’m aware of it, not that it indicates any authority.

Did you honestly just google "scammer typos" so you could provide me with an expert source?

Not quite but pretty much yep. Given you claimed it was “nonsensical” I had hope me showing sources that weren’t just my saying so might make you reconsider your position. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it didn’t.

It's a preposterous claim with absolutely no evidence supporting it. Any idiot can see it doesn't withstand a moment's thought.

You’re free to google “scammer typos” and check out the results yourself given there seems to be nothing I can do or link to convince you that this is a silly hill to die on.

is that including typos in order to evade filters improves response rates because it improves deliverability and does not discourage a significant number of victims.

What filters are these? I’ll have to keep an eye out for the grammar section in the inbound spam/phishing policies next time I’m managing a client in the exchange section of their tenant. Bad luck for those who don’t spell well, can’t use spell check or are ESL, I guess. Mistyped URLs or domains however, sure are a thing.

Er go, the type of people who become victims are not likely to be discouraged by typos.

*Ergo. I guess you’ve made up your mind, based on god knows what. I’ll leave you with a link from a university's IT department from your google search terms, feel free to look at the rest of them any time you like.

It’s on purpose. If you can spot it, they don’t want you.

But what would the opinions based on another “Mr security guy”, aka a Microsoft researcher know.

I’m not arguing about this. Especially not with a baby account. This is an opinion informed by expert opinion on the matter, and I work in tech. If you think it’s “nonsensical” that’s on you.

However, the reason why phishing emails have so many typos is simple—they’re intentional and are included by design. The scammer’s goal is to send phishing emails to a very gullible, innocent victim. If they have typos, they’re essentially weeding out recipients too smart to fall for the scam.

Source.

Because you’re selecting with people who lack experience with scam/critical thinking to figure out they’re scams.

Cheers, I appreciate you taking the time to elaborate even if I don’t necessarily agree with it all 100%. Hope you enjoy the event and no dickheads turn up.

Thanks for the informative reply! I was worried how my questions came off. I didn’t realise pink washing spanned to detention centres as well. Almost laughable if it wasn’t depressing.

Not trans so my opinion on the matter isn’t worth much but why lines 2,3 and four? What does communities not cops even mean? Communities will handle the spiralling gang war fuelled by illicit tobacco trade? Why not just a trans day of visibility that focuses on trans people/rights instead of that plus policing, indigenous issues and so on? At least two can be about trans people who are incarcerated I guess. Probably ignorant of me but I don’t know.
