An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

No argument there - training cybersecurity awareness is fine, but singling users for clicking on a link alone is moronic. Most security fuckups in my experience result from stupid IT policies and rarely do the responsible admins / managers ever get flak for their fuckups.
In my experience (I'm not in IT), the IT folks only get recognized for fuckups. When they do things right nobody notices and thinks they're a waste of money, resulting in the company cutting back on their budget then freaking out when they're not equipped to do their job and something goes wrong.
Ok let me rephrase: IT management never gets the flak they often deserve.
But also there's a distinction to be made between competent IT and IT service contracts where the contract officers are corrupt and/or incompetent and then the service is awful as a whole.
