Presently probably not a huge amount, but its an easy thing to disseminate once it's figured out.

You could keep a hash of a photos EXIF data so that the same photo can't be used for two different reviews, to prevent spamming, but that's a whole other set of questions and problems to build a solution for storing that.

It'd be a fun problem to work on, but wouldn't ever be 100% secure from exploitation. Might be a fun weekend project to get a proof of concept working.

Totally invasive idea here but just spitballing.

Take a photo at the location, upload photo so that EXIF data can be used to geolocate you at the business you are reviewing. Photo doesnt have to be used in the review, just as a passkey to verify you were St least present at the place you were reviewing at least once.

Cons: faking EXIF data let's people review places they never went to, sharing a photo with a horde of review bombers so they can all upload it and still reviewbomb the place

Fun thought experiment.

If you'd like to see a version of King Of Queens/Everybody Loves Raymond done really well for the modern age, the show 'Kevin can Fuck Himself' does it amazingly. Its a single camera sitcom from the dopey husbands point of view, and a dark, moody drama from the wife's point of view. 10/10 television.

I hope it doesn't eat into devtime on Stationers, I love that game, even if I'm terrible at it.

Ive just started in a government IT role; everything is windows, I use windows myself at home for games, but run WSL for hobby dev, home server management and stuff like that.

This is my first sysadmin role, having come from a Dev background, and administration on windows feels like such a chore. Everything takes ten steps to do, lots of issues, and feels very counter intuitive. I am not enjoying it at all. I suppose actual large scale Linux adminning probably has the same issues and I'm putting it down to lack of experience, but there's so many small niggly issues that I know I could solve if this was a Linux environment that I can't due to how windows is set up.

I'm hopefully getting to move into a more hybrid dev/admin role for some web stuff, but I firs thave to convince my boss to let me install WSL so O can have a sane dev environment for web dev.

Fill just enough water in your pot to cover them, and give it a swirl. Empty out the water. Do this two or three times, I usually do three.

That might be what the disagreement here is. The sentence is very ambiguous because its not literal, though it can be read literally as you did. The poster is saying "I'm the dumb one for being the only one working in valve who is reachable by the public directly through social media." Your interpretation isn't wrong, but without the wider context of shorthand speech patterns you get from English as a first language, it can be difficult to figure out the implied message. English has a funny habit of saying one thing, but meaning another thing.

Is English your first language?

I mean, I dont disagree that the concept is insanely idiotic but all they've done in the purge is take the concept of a pogrom and applied it to modern day america. The premise isn't that rediculous. It has happened, in real life. Yeah they've leaned into it, and dialed up the crazy fevor a bit, but its not so removed from real life accounts of pogroms.
