I would quit my job

@harru

Is FoI just related to the public interest? Dunno if hgatr votes would count. Might do!

FoI only applies to public authorities so DiS would not count regardless of how interested the public are in hgatr!

Would make sense with a Bring Your Own Device policy that allows people to use their own phone for work stuff. It’s why I don’t ever use my personal devices for work stuff.

[froglet]

I didn’t think of that, we didn’t have that

Might send @Bamnan a DM now. A blank one with FIRST as the title.

I won’t do that though mate.

This aged well

Oh yeah I know about that. But don’t think anyone has raised an issue with DMs on Discourse as you say.

Excellent

I don’t do this because I have to install that MS security app which forces me to stop using a pattern to unlock my phone and instead remember a code meeting certain requirements…and then also gives my work the right to wipe my entire phone data remotely.

Fuck man, we should be digging up!

[Ruffers]

This apparently worked out, which is nice

@froglet

Leaving aside the issue of old DMs, I don’t think it would be unreasonable to leave DMs as they are and just make sure everyone is aware that their DMs could be read by admins and that if you want to send bank details or nudes or slag off whiterussion behind her back, it’s recommended to use a different method.

i was going to say, if anyone wants to send me nudes in my DMs please make sure you’re ok with whiterussian seeing them too

[whiterussian]

Very considerate of you!

[andyvine]

i’ll let you know if anything comes through so you don’t need to keep checking x

[whiterussian]

This thread has gone much better than I could have hoped and I want to thank everyone involved for that

[jordan_229]

The more the merrier

[andyvine]

nothing so far. don’t be shy everyone!

[tilty]

Just dropping in to say props to @whiterussian, @sean et al for notifying and dealing with this so promptly.

[allisfulloflove]

To everyone who has bought records, obviously from me on here before; I’ve had my DMs deleted as I had all your addresses

[Caedus]
