Ken Kocienda, the engineer who led the team that created the original iPhone keyboard and predictive text system, wrote a book titled “Creative Selection: Inside Apple’s Design Process During the Golden Age of Steve Jobs.” So there’s at least one real engineer for you who speaks highly of Jobs.
They aren’t nameless. They write books and go on podcasts, their thoughts on Jobs are available to us. Plenty of them praise Jobs for driving them to do their best work.
It’s not false advertising because it did everything it was advertised to do in the introductory demo when it went on sale six months later. Google is the one faking their demos.
Teams is trash and literally no one would use if it it wasn’t bundled with 365. So, yep.
I’m guessing it was a different instance because we don’t have any powermods. (I actually didn’t realize Lemmy already has powermods, sheesh!) Most of us just mod one community on our instance and I don’t think any of us are modding on other instances.
Regardless, I’ll keep an eye out for anything fishy.
That’s disheartening to hear. Can you share any more detail? If we’ve got a mod causing drama somewhere I can take it up with our admins.
And we’re updated! Thank you for your advice, we really appreciate it.
Ahh, ok. That’s helpful, thanks!
This is going to seem silly in the context of such a severe exploit but one quirk about our instance is that we literally do not have a “general discussion” /c/. The biggest one is scoped to Star Trek and so a Lemmy exploit is obviously outside the scope of … Star Trek. I would wager that’s the main reason the mod removed the post, but I will admit that just pointing this out, I feel like the forum mod from the short story Wikihistory.
I’m in contact with the admins who manage the hosting, they are coordinating an update 0.18.2-rc1 as we speak. Also, there’s already been some discussion about setting up a general discussion /c/ on our instance and so I’ll include instance security in the scope of that /c/.
You mentioned elsewhere in this thread there is a Lemmy admins Matrix room. Is my instance big enough for my admins to be invited? If yes, who can I point them at to get in?
This issue is already quite widely publicized and quite frankly “we’re handling it and removing this” is a much more harmful response than I would hope to see.
Hi, mod of a community on the instance in question here. Why is this response harmful? What should we have done instead?
