Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Bling bling!
Oh hey guys! I'm WFH today!
Sorry Bob, I forgot it was a teams meeting!
No worries Bob, you mind zooming in to a single screen?
Oh you're seeing both of my screens in a tiny ass piece of your own screen with barely legible pixelated text that a fucking dumbass at Microsoft agreed to make into a default parameter for screen sharing during a meeting using a software they developed and functions poorly for anything?
Yes Bob, exactly. OK I can read the first 10 letters. You mind scrolling a few more letters slowly so I can read what the DFMEA is about?
Its technically an SFMEA as Bob mentioned.
Oh, what's an SFMEA? I'm only familiar with a DFMEA...
Oh an SFMEA is just like a DFMEA, but for safety.
Oooo! Okay. That's exciting. Hey thanks for scrolling! Yeah this design again! I don't known why they won't approve my ECR so we can ECO a safety cover for the switch. You wouldn't want someone to accidentally bump this thing while getting up from their seat. In retrospect its not a good idea to put it next to the knee rest.
OK Bob, I got it in full screen, can you see more than 3 excel rows now?
Yup, its great! The new full screen which is actually just 75% of the screen is great for effective communication! But I wish Microsoft would give us larger squares with funny looking people icons. So important for communication to take up most of the screen with useless piece of shit dumbass icons and controls.
Agreed Bob!
Meanwhile at another 787:
Hey Bob, I just put into full power but engine one turned off.
Dumbass! Didn't you go to the online training?
What training?
The one about the cut off of switch! Turn that shit back on!!! Here's the full power button!
...folks, your captain speeching... We had some turbulence but we'll be arriving at Laconia International airport in approximately 4 hrs. For now sit back and enjoy the ride!
