Is it Day-Toe-Mike? Duh-Tommic? Can somebody in PR or marketing help me pronouce this correctly in my head? It's causing me stress.

Day-tomic I believe

Die Toma Toe I think.

day-tah-mick (think datum/atomic)

They contribute to it; I don’t think it’s fair to say they own it? It’s certainly nothing like Swift or Go for example.

I guess they pay the salaries of key contributors, and certainly have some influence via their work.

Were they paying those salaries before or after those people became key contributors?

I do not know the answer (in this case) and believe this makes a notable difference.

Mostly later, as they got laid off from Mozzilla.

However it is naive to think Big corps don't have an influence on it.

It used to be smarter, I think they dumbed it down to save money or something.

Vigilante Justice is inevitable when society breaks down. And it’s broken down in SF.

I'm having trouble parsing who you think is the wronged party here, but to be clear this fire official was going around bear spraying random innocuous homeless people before one of his victims fought back and beat him up.

Just in the interests of accuracy, he's a former fire commissioner. He resigned after 4 months in the job ~10 years ago following his arrest on domestic violence charges.

The message pretty clearly states that the visible presence of the homeless is a crime against the OP that leads to vigilantism (i.e., attacks on the homeless). This kind of eliminationist rhetoric is common on this site.

Could you describe what other kinds of eliminationist rhetoric you encounter on this site?

Anything invoicing trans people like me, and especially anything involving families with trans kids.

It's not by accident that everyone in my immediate social circle carries a weapon of some kind now. The existential threat from both the state and other citizens grows daily.

I'm genuinely sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, this forum looks to attract a certain kind of people, and those people find it easy to hide uncouth comments under the guise of "curious discussion".

It doesn't help that moderation is almost non-existent, aside from when VC's get put under blast, or when . Asking for sources for ridiculous comments (eg: Dropbox laid off people in order of performance) gets flagged, then removed, but off-topic humor in bad taste remains.

Looking forward to being the next Audrey Elizabeth Hale? Be careful you don't get radicalized even further than you already are.

Case in point. At least use your real account next time though.

Not GP but I'll bite: the guilty party is 100% the bear sprayer, whoever it may be (commissioner or not).

But breakdown of law, order and general societal cohesion invites this kind of behaviour. It's still the perpetrator's fault, but conditions are made so that these people are more likely to lash out.

The guilty party is the guy with the bear spray who's had "vigilante justice" done to him in the form of being beaten with a metal rod.

Not sure that bear-spraying people sleeping on the street counts as justice, vigilante or not. I have an expansive view of self-defense but the behavior depicted in the video doesn't make the cut. I kinda doubt all these incidents were bad guys taking a nap, given that the victims made police reports. It's not unreasonable to guess that there were some more incidents that went unrecorded.

This damage control, LOL.

For many years now. Heck I created a gmail account with a long, random address, logged in a couple months later and it was full of spam.

When I read a story like this I think, yep, Apple found another leaker to fire.

That’s a new neologism to me, SocialWeb. I don’t care for it.

Was it a ritual bath or a ceremonial bath?
