I am sure more knowledgeable people will provide the right answers. But I think it means that when you set up your own lemmy instance, you need to add the communities to it.

Waiting to hear how this plays out. But I feel this will end up being a non issue.

Thank you. TIL.

Have you ever visited Costco? They don’t even label the aisles to name you go through each of them.

I first walked into a Costco in my 30s and asked a store employee why didn’t they have labels. The guy has no clue. But assured me it was by design and not an accident.

Two questions.

I didn’t get this, care to explain?

What template is this? The girl is beautiful.

Are we going to steer with bacon everything as well?

Kevin needs help.

It’s amazing to see all these memes and meme templates the last few days. That was peak Reddit back in 2009-10.

I feel good for lemmy if this continues.

Your point is incorrect. It is not needlessly complicated. It has to do with mainframe batch processing times.

It’s not a conspiracy, it is a technical challenge that is not easy to some. It is complicated, but not needlessly. If it was easy, it would have been fixed.

I am sure there are a number of private companies that do the same but simply don’t tell you.

E.g., every bank has a cut off time for transfers, same reason.

Massive frame batch processing is the usual reason.

And before it ask why not replace it, the short answer outs it is complicated.

It might be a question better speed in eli5.

Come on. If you actually worked for social security you have to know why. It’s is related to mainframe batch processing.

But I can see why you might say what it did. Maybe you think it seems cooler to simply dump on the government it meant your 20 years of experience is 1 year repeated 290 times. So really 1 year of experience but you just got older.

There is a reason and not what you think.

This is the real answer. Main frame batch processing.

And till you haven’t experienced it, it seems like an excuse. Why can’t you simply do it all the time. Why can’t you get rid of the mainframe, etc.

But if only it were that easy. There is a reason IBM can still acquire multi billion dollar companies and then run them into the ground.

My company has maybe a couple million customers and can’t get rid of its mainframe and in areas that it’s gotten the process away from the mainframe, batch patronizing is still a thing. Because that is the only way to guarantee integrity.

So yea. I wish your comment gets more up votes. Because it is not a conspiracy, it is a technical limitation.

Yup. Unless I am clear on what I should be addressing a person as, I simply use the name.

Pretty sure that’s offensive as well. I just use the name speaking about the person with someone else. “Ed asked me to speak with you. Ed mentioned that Ed was not going to join our meeting.”, etc.

Too many memories of my childhood with lizards of the wall.
