You know with all this AGI swirling around nowadays that is stronger than nation state hackers you think one of these companies would demonstrate just how capable they are by defen…

thanks! was just wondering. maybe some issue with the implementation of manual movement of posts.

I noticed that the August 2026 "Who is hiring?" post currently shows it's 1 hour old when opened from the front page. All the comments themselves are also under 1 hour old as well.…

Good question. I'm intentionally leaving it vague to see what people come up with. Also, I've seen what you are describing a few times. Usually happens in companies with certain fi…

You're the one who inserted yourself in the discussion when I clarified my question. I wasn't dragging the discussion away from your preferred path any more than others were draggi…

Right so then that answers my question. Violence is okay as long as it is directed outwards and said to be defensive, thank you for answering. I'll remember this when my country of…
