I see multiple replies along similar lines, attacking a poster for an experience with a single person making them cautious of a particular group.

These replies seem to forget that a single person can destroy your career, livelihood and relationships because they have misunderstood an interaction

Yeah but sometimes you want to reach out and bomb someone without the knowing what's coming

Sounds like they need a union

That's par for the course for technically orientated roles. I was labelled 'defensive' and denied a pay increase because a business development executive wanted to make our documentation dynamic based on user access, and I pointed out it was difficult to find a solution when users can have over 400 access permissions, which varied depending on country, and our documentation was 900 HTML pages, some of which were equavlent to 200 A4 pages.

If you are the most knowledgeable person then you get blamed for their bullshit fantasies being impossible or unwise (or illegal)

I too welcome the Google overlords deciding what functionality must be included in chat software owned by another company.

What's next, banning European apps that allow people to sell cheese that is illegal in USA?

But if Apple says your product is overpriced it must really be overpriced.

And executioner.

They blocked the damn fire service pages... during bushfire season. I hope there is some law that is breaking so they can tear Facebook a new one, it's massively irresponsible and outright dangerous

Do they need to be on facebook?

Serious question, it seems an odd thing to say that's dangerous. If facebook is now part of the emergency services, I'd say that was dangerous anyway.

Private platforms are not public utilities. It's horrible that people have to come to treat it this way especially government.

Perhaps this is a nice incentive for the fire service to get their own website?

Facebook is a private company and can do what it likes.

This applies to everything though. If I drill of oil and am 'too successful' and abuse my position the Gov cracks down on me. Same if a telco is 'too successful'

And you are forgetting that 'too successful' in these cases is: literally has billions in profit uses market position in an anti competitive way

Yeah but then 70% of the results are wrong. Amazon's filtering sucks

Pykrete floats.

Ice-rock (silt/sand/gravel) composites are a thing, so a pycrete composite might be made to sink. But that's still lighter than rock, so gravity dam overturning moment means the dam would need to be bigger.
