My wife and I picked out her ring together. She has to wear it all the time. I think she should have say in the matter. Ask your partner to help you pick one out.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/16013932 > Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations > > There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest employment and labour law firms in Western Canada.” They work with both private and public sector employers. > > To ensure a fair investigation, LMG did not comment or publicly release any data and asked our team members to do the same. Now that the investigation is complete, we’re able to provide a summary of the findings. > > The investigation found that: > > - Claims of bullying and harassment were not substantiated. > > - Allegations that sexual harassment were ignored or not addressed were false. > > - Any concerns that were raised were investigated. Furthermore, from reviewing our history, the investigator is confident that if any other concerns had been raised, we would have investigated them. > > - There was no evidence of “abuse of power” or retaliation. The individual involved may not have agreed with our decisions or performance feedback, but our actions were for legitimate work-related purposes, and our business reasons were valid. > > - Allegations of process errors and miscommunication while onboarding this individual were partially substantiated, but the investigator found ample documentary evidence of LMG working to rectify the errors and the individual being treated generously and respectfully. When they had questions, they were responded to and addressed. > > In summary, as confirmed by the investigation, the allegations made against the team were largely unfounded, misleading, and unfair. > > With all of that said, in the spirit of ongoing improvement, the investigator shared their general recommendation that fast-growing workplaces should invest in continuing professional development. The investigator encouraged us to provide further training to our team about how to raise concerns to reinforce our existing workplace policies. > > Prior to receiving this report, LMG solicited anonymous feedback from the team in an effort to ensure there was no unreported bullying and harassment and hosted a training session which reiterated our workplace policies and reinforced our reporting structure. LMG will continue to assess ongoing continuing education for our team. > > At this time, we feel our case for a defamation suit would be very strong; however, our deepest wish is to simply put all of this behind us. We hope that will be the case, given the investigator’s clear findings that the allegations made online were misrepresentations of what actually occurred. We will continue to assess if there is persistent reputational damage or further defamation. > > This doesn’t mean our company is perfect and our journey is over. We are continuously learning and trying to do better. Thank you all for being part of our community.

It will work with Voyager. I also use that app and will make sure. All apps that work with Lemmy should work with Sublinks.

Lemmy.World isn’t developing it. Some of their team members are contributing but they didn’t start it. I did. I’m the admin of discuss.online

It's actually extremely buggy. Not sure if we'll fix it or find something else. Perhaps something you suggested.

 My first time attempting a photo likes this. I didn't quite get it as perfect as I wanted but I think it looks good enough to share.

It's a reputable web development language and Spring Framework is very robust. I knew it would make development very quick and easy. Also, everyone learns Java just a little so I feel like it's easy for the average person to contribute. Rust is certainly fun but Java is tried and true. The organization of the Lemmy project's code vs Sublinks is night and day. It's so easy to extend and grow Sublinks.

I tried that the but API lacked a lot of features that they were too busy to add, like proper pagination to find the latest changes, etc. I started a project like that first called socialcare.cloud but have since shut it down in favor of Sublinks.

Java isn't my preferred language. I did learn Rust to try to contribute but found the code base in less than ideal state and the process of contributing to risky. They don't always accept all PRs. I also have low faith in the success of Lemmy due to it's poor QA process and it's major lack of features.
I believe Java is the best option for this type of application, I almost did it in PHP. My goal was to attract as many people as possible to want to contribute. It's worked, I have a ton of people contributing in some way, Sublinks roadmap is clear and organized, and we have a super-motivated and driven team.
We won't fail.

I was hoping not to have to host it myself. I won't need it often. I was mostly curious about a Saas. Thanks though!

ATTENTION: There is a known issue with the database cluster for discuss.online. It's a managed cluster by #DigitalOcean. They are working on resolving the issue. I'll update you once the issue is resolved. You might see strange errors like the inability to log in or view specific posts. Update 03/01/2024 @ 9:40 pm ET: The database has been migrated to a new server. Please, let us know if you experience any issues.
I remember when I was on Reddit I would check it several times a day. But with Lemmy there doesn't seem to be that much content popping up to justify that. I'm finding myself less addicted to the platform genre. How often do you check Lemmy? What do you subscribe to that keeps you coming back?
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Sublinks, a groundbreaking Link Aggregation Social Network, joining the Fediverse. This innovative platform is designed to revolutionize how we share and discover online. Our dedicated team of volunteer contributors has worked tirelessly, utilizing technologies like Java, Go, TypeScript, and HTML to bring this vision to life. Sublinks promises a user-friendly interface and robust features that cater to diverse online communities. Stay tuned for our launch date, and get ready to experience a new era of social link sharing! Sublinks will have a fully compatible API with Lemmy so all current Lemmy apps will also work with Sublinks. In fact, discuss.online will switch to Sublinks to fully replace Lemmy once we reach our [Parity Milestone](https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1/views/6). For more information, visit [GitHub - Sublinks](https://github.com/sublinks) and [sublinks.org](https://sublinks.org). Stay tuned for more regular updates as we progress.
