Seems to have been updated, maybe for the better...
Zoom A.I. tools trained using some customer data, updated terms say

I would have to guess it is the pay and that none of the jobs (very limited) are really "civil engineering" as we might expect them to be based on this site.

I am pretty sure that at those pay levels you either need several roommates or need to live at home. -

There was a time when I wore a watch. Then I stopped around the time of smart phones but not completely because of the phone, the job I had at the time caused me to remove them very often, sometimes not willingly (they got caught on things) and while they were cheap Casio watches I said enough and have not worn one since. -

I did find this in the docs.
Federation Lemmy Documentation
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/contributors/05-federation.html
>Block User
>
>Blocks a user so he can't participate anymore. The scope is determined by the target field: either a community, or a whole instance. The removeData field can optionally be set to indicate that all previous posts of the user should be deleted.
It also includes an expire date/time field, so I guess it is the same as a ban.
It does seem rather harsh that someone who could be discussing (assume a polite difference of view) something that a mod (with an objection to the view) on a different instance can ban them globally for it. -

>This came to my attention because of how lemmy user bans are federated just like everything else
Wait What?!?
So if I am reading this correctly, anybody can be banned from any instance or is it just the notification of the ban that is federated?
