They came to get free help and couldn't even bother to put a little effort into their questions. What do they expect?

You do not get points for closing questions, and you get negative points for downvoting. Where did that lie come from?

It worked fine earlier this week, but I guess that's that for Reddit. It had been a (not so) good run.

I'm a mod on two SE sites. It definitely happens. And yes, (imo) they typically need help.

I think it's pretty clear that was the cause of the 2020 spike and fall. Once people started going back to work (summer 2020 for us), questions dropped back to pre-2020 levels.

There's Old Reddit Redirect extension in Firefox, but honestly, you're not missing out on anything there anyway.

I think you're forgetting of a certain major event that happened in 2020. An event that initially caused a lot of free time around the world and kept people indoors...

I think Reddit is even worse. You could get banned from SO for using pretty foul insults, but in some places of Reddit, it's business as usual.

But SO was never a place to just talk to others. It's not a general purpose discussion site. It could have been a friendly place, but users still would have left, because it's just far easier to get an immediate answer from AI, and those answers have only been getting better.

Yeah, the place could be very hostile, but that hostility didn't crater questions before ChatGPT was released.

The fact that all this stuff is easily accessible online and yet some people think they can just out-logic the law is mind-boggling to me. Oh, you never studied law in your life but you're criticizing a 60-year old law that has been hashed out over and over again? Dunning-Kruger strikes again.

Because if neither side budges, it goes to court to figure out what's reasonable, like with any other dispute. This is pretty basic stuff.

You're missing a major component of the law:

> Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for an applicant or employee whose sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance conflicts with a work requirement, *unless providing the accommodation would create an undue hardship for the employer.*

If using a computer is necessary for the job, then the religious exemption would create undue hardship. Presumably for this Kentucky guy's job he can get his work done without AI and the university isn't suffering for it.
