I happen to be excluded from your "we" ;) We would like it if people didn't do this, but it happens and it doesn't help us to be annoying. Especially in cases where people don't realize that they're prying being sanctimonious in response can come off as being unreasonably smug.
To phase out TikTok usernames/handles and force users to move to Live/Outlook emails e.g [email protected]. Then sit back and gleefully marvel at their own accomplishment.
So an admin at a university (probably a person who should be sensitive to PR) should have said "You #$&*^$ #^#%&%$#$@, stop doing this already!" to make it look like a true "snap"?
Yes, he'd have to do something very uncharacteristic of the position, otherwise it's an entirely appropriate and reasonable reaction, which isn't really what one would characterize a "snap".
I think I am coming from the perspective that incessant trolling forced them to issue an official response and that's "snap enough" for me.
You seem to be coming from the point of view (that's my assumption based on our short comments; it maybe something else) that it doesn't meet the literal dictionary meaning so it's not a snap - which I disagree with.
It's not only that it doesn't mean the dictionary definition. There's no usage - colloquial or otherwise - of that term I'm familiar that fits the situation.
It's disingenuous at best to refer to the response as "snapping".
Possibly, I think "snap" is there purely for clickbait reasons, to imply a much larger reaction so we click through. "Responds" would have been more accurate, though not as converty.
The CSIRO has the domain CSIRO.au and they're the only one site that comes to mind. All domains in Australia are required to be registered under the kind of organisation they are. There is .com.au for companies, you need a valid Australian Business Number (ABN) to register one, .org.au where you need to be a registered "organisation"[0]. Soon we'll be able to register .au domains and you can read more about the history of the domain on Wikipedia[1].
In short, the reason you never see `.au` domains is because no one can register them.
IANA delegated .au to someone at the University of Melbourne in the 80s. He devised the 2LD structure, and chose .com.au, .org.au, .net.au, and .edu.au as the major second level domains, with various eligibility requirements. Recently, auDA (the Australian domain administrator) started investigating releasing top level .au domains, but the timeline went from "late 2019" to "first half 2020" [0], and I haven't seen anything since.
Having lived in Australia, Germany and New Zealand amongst others, I find the Australian scheme the best. In Germany, everything is just .de (like in many other countries), while I find that the nz sites (.co.nz, .ac.nz ...) using a different scheme than the topdomains (.com, .edu) even worse.
I love that there’s no open office anymore which I hated. It had nothing good to offer other than saving rent for my employer.
I hate that meetings have already started to spill into Saturdays, Sundays, and beyond 6pm and attendance in those meetings are now being subtly demanded which began as requests because someone’s calendar would be “full”.
Are there there similar but open and private solutions to Garmin/etc for h/w and Strava/RunKeeper/etc for software?
Some solution where I can track my runs, swims, cyclings, treks just like Strava (et al) does does but I can choose to keep the data wherever I wish - local, or sync to an app on computer or to a self hosted server.
Maybe not Garmin but I would love to use such an iOS Strava alternative with similar accuracy and detail.
I wonder how many people Garmin has working on this. It seems like there’d be someone in an English speaking country that could come up with a statement and answer some questions. Do they have their marketing team busy negotiating with Evil Corp or something?
