No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It’s a liability and risk concern. If something were to happen (and this is guaranteed to happen eventually) you want to operate with the lowest privileges that you can to reduce the potential damage. This can be a mental health issue, a disgruntled employee or a simple accident that leads to compromise of company data and systems. For the same reason you don’t want to run every single application as administrator, you don’t want every employee to be an administrator at all times.
That said, with a good company, it’s not that difficult to get the access that you need provided that you have a legitimate use case. As a developer, I have a script I can run to give myself full administrative privileges at any time. Think of it as a safety on a firearm to ensure it’s being used deliberately. Even then, I don’t have access to the same documents that HR does because I don’t have a reason to know everyone’s data. And personally, I don’t want to have access to everything. If there were to be an incident (again, with infinite time it will happen eventually to somebody), I could become involved simply because I had access or knowledge. In many cases it could be grounds for termination if I should have known some information and did not act on this data in a timely manner. As I gain more experience I learn it’s often better not to have access to information without cause. It is against everybody’s interests.
