Relatively tame discussion with some minor outrage. Some highlights from the thread:

Remembering in-person meetings, half of the “participation” was asking to get back one slide before to check a point that went too fast, questions on points that are dealt with two slides further, people getting asked questions as a punishment for being visibly bored to death, and facts that could be checked by a 10s document search but would seem rude to be looking for right now.

If only the presenter had a backbone and could ask people to hold their questions till the end.

Turning the camera off is just a socially acceptable way of not showing up.

Classic slacktivist protest to being forced to attend a meeting

Why do you think that someone with a camera off is not present? How can you honestly equate camera-off with absence?

My, my someone's defensive. Perhaps the same reason they make school children turn their cameras on to verify they're actually paying attention and not wasting time.

What's wrong with with someone turning off their camera and eating a snack while developers dive into the weeds for 15 minutes?

Can't go a single meeting without snacking

Well, business folks have very different world views and preferences for communication style/content than self-organizing geeks, wouldn't you say?

18 months later I LOVE video calls. I love the fact that I'm in my own comfy quite space, I love the fact that I can move from standing to sitting and back without distracting those on The calls. I love that I can turn my video and mic off and have a pace around or eat some food.

I get the feeling they would enjoy having a hamster wheel installed in their domicile

I don't feel the same way. I connect with my colleagues fairly easily, video or not. I was also raised in a world with gaming and IRC, so having to pay better attention to tone and phrasing inferences is second nature to me.

You may have developed a case of the autism buckaroo

Personally I have started leaving the camera on because it’s incredibly tempting to just use my phone and tune out with the camera off. I have also noticed that camera off people tend to speak a lot less than those with it on.

A comment by "Gigachad" with some common sense

I think you're implying causality from camera off to speaking less

correlation doesn't imply causation! Sure showed that Gigachad

I've put some effort into my setup in the past 24 months; multiple Elgato and Hue lights, a Streamdeck for macros and scene control, condenser microphone on an arm with an audio interface, OBS studio etc.

I can respect their dedication, it's a little overboard but I'm glad it helps them feel better and is a lot more productive than all the ones seething about having the camera on.

I have no problem with real-life meetings, but in virtual meetings I always feel on edge because it's impossible to know who's looking at me, because sight-lines don't work.

Turning the camera on literally gives PTSD

I know this just from a Twitch streamer I watch. He'll occasionally have to stream with the camera off because having the camera on takes a lot of energy

If you can make a subreddit to share art, you can make a subreddit for shitposting.

If you can make the best reddit post ever, please do so.

We are now at a point where I think people here are waking up to the fact that the reddit admins are not the joke they made them out to be - they aren't afraid to make tough decisions, and they're willing to make tough changes when they see a problem - and they aren't afraid to call the police on the bad guys.

It is a long, long road, and I hope you all can carry it out together in the coming weeks and months.

In the meantime...if u like the art, here's me doing my very best to make art

I will be back soon with more.

He disses like 4 guys who fricking died in this song

Those cheeky bastards. Mind = blown

As far as I know right now the only way to recover your password is to use an email. This obviously leaks info unless you have a burner email which is becoming harder (my one pseudo anonymous Outlook account requires a fricking phone number).

A solution to this would be the ability to add a PGP to your account that you can then use to sign a message in the event you loose your password - it can even be used as two factor.

I actually used this feature on oppaiti.me () the downside it did require a sys-op to verify me and unlock my account. I'm sure our codecels can figure out a way to automate it though

She's 5'4", 101 lbs, very cute looking, everyone I know says so too. She often gets approached by guys who want to ask her out too. What do you think?

And she's a Stacy too, because she looks 10 years younger than her actual age
