No. If it's everyone, then it's everyone and at worst it's not the most efficient way to communicate.

I would say, if you single out a group of people based on physical characteristics, then it gets weird.

But if it's "The internet won't start" vs "Every packet on port 433 is dropped even though no firewall rule is set", then I think it's reasonable to make some asumptions and adjust communication accordingly.

I work in IT and sometimes I have to explain something to a user who is somewhat tech-illiterate. Even developers may have significant blind spots when it comes to their OS or networking, for example.

So, if I notice it, I'll change some terminology and I may explain instructions differently or use metaphors so every user understands what I'm saying.

And most coworkers do the same thing.

Here's why I bring this up: For whatever reason, some colleagues give female coworkers the same treatment.

And that's weird.

If someone is constantly treated like this, they should be allowed to rant about it on their blog. I'm fine with snark if it geht's a point across.

Der Witz hat irgendwann mal mit Bergdeutschland angefangen. Somit ist's aus historischen Gründen der Bodensee geworden.

Even worse; the Greens get blamed for shit the FDP does, because people don't know how coalitions work.

Only data that is not stored cannot fall victim to attackers. It does not matter whether it is a 'nigerian prince', Microsoft or some agency. Even if you completly trust whatever entity with your data right now, they may become problematic in the future.

This is why a low profile is a crucial component of OPsec.

Recall is objectively stupid, even if Microsoft only had their users best interest in mind. And they don't.

That'd be my interpretation aswell.

This is a spin on a existing meme called "Thour", where various animals or objects are licking a lemon.

Please refere to this link for references.

Who's "they"?

If it's Urologists, like, those are the experts. If it's someone on Twitter, they don't matter. If it's women as a whole… oh, boy. Dude. If it's "the jews", OH. BOY. DUDE. HOW EVEN?

Me: Can I have (small template parser)?

Stackoverflow: No, we have (small template parser) at home.

Can you spot why years, months, days, hours and minutes are not SI units?

This is an honest question. The SI units were chosen very carefully with regard to their human usability and scientific universality.

I fairly often drive 50,000m/h, except on the autobahn. There I usually go about 120,000,000mm/h.

And if I stack 1000 1cm³ blocks of water, the resulting 10m high column has a volume of 1l, weighs 1kg and exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base. And to heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal, while 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.

What I want to say is: Your point is stupid and your units are too.

You can totally use emojis as passwords. You can probably even make this a policy at your company.

Edit: I thought this was an obvious enough joke, but just to clear things up: Only do this if you hate your company and everyone working there.
