My gender goal is that we build a society where your gender matters less than your hair colour and that your hair colour is a matter of personal preference.

What on earth are those in charge of certification standards thinking they'll achieve with requirements like this?

Well it's a post truth world .. apparently, and I was always taught that the truth hurts..

Yeah. I jumped through these hoops too and it created a company page for my company, with one employee, me, just so I could read someone else's review on a different company.

Of course, now there's a company page for my company that I don't appear to be able to delete.

As an end user, ie. not someone who either hosts an instance or has extra permissions, can we in anyway see who voted on a post or comment?

I'm asking because over the time I've been here, I've noticed that many, but not all, posts or comments attract a solitary down vote.

I see this type of thing all over the place. Sometimes it's two down votes, indicating that it happens more than once.

I note that human behaviour might explain this to some extent, but the voting happens almost immediately, in the face of either no response, or positive interactions.

Feels a lot like the Reddit down vote bots.

It's staggering to me the number of black cars being sold in hot countries like Australia. Not to mention just how hard they are to see against the background of a bitumen road.

Yeah, except for root that is exactly how it works.

As root you are permitted to shoot your own foot and are expected to know how to aim.

Q: How do you eat an elephant?

A: One bite at a time.

Whilst you are faced with a multitude of issues, don't get lost in the weeds by details when you are trying to untangle the past to move it forward.

A simple spreadsheet to track hardware, licenses and other details like location, specs and primary contact is a perfectly reasonable starting point.

I say that because you don't know what you don't know yet. You might for example discover that some shops are doing their own thing, regardless of company policy.

Creating a ticketing system is useful to track stuff for everyone. I settled on trax with web access to people who need it, but the computer literacy levels might prevent some from using this.

Burnout is a very distinct possibility in an environment like this, so make sure that you set aside time for you to think. Call it a meeting, call it an on-site visit, whatever you do, take time to think.

Also, remember to backup your work. It's not unheard of for it to vanish unexpectedly if you are perceived as a threat.

Who cares?

Facebook is a cesspool of spam with an owner who in my opinion appears to think that "Soylent Green" is an instruction manual..
