Many people in the US are paid every two weeks, which means some months you’re paid more than others.

Yearly has become standard as is hourly rate, because one is useful for taxes and the other is often directly negotiated.

There are many cases of people being sentenced to death wrongfully. For that reason the punishment shouldn’t exist.

The owner of the website certainly has no reason to inflate their numbers…

Just look at how the EU government works, they ended up with a very similar system, just with a parliamentary twist. It’s a bit of a natural compromise when you have a bunch of nations with their own identity coming together to form a larger body.

The value of “X” has been repeatedly downgraded. It’s estimated at around $15b by fidelity. They’ve demolished their own brand by renaming themselves and how you interact.

This is before you get into the whole “twitter has been loaded with debt from the purchase of twitter and so is even more unprofitable than it was before” part of the debacle.

Did you just compare letting non-active bots on a server to killing babies? Okay if that’s the comparison you really want to go with, I guess.

It’s very easy to sit on a high horse and say you’ve never had a negative impact due to your ignorance, when your own ignorance might include things that you don’t know are detrimental to others.

Are you perfect? If 7 billion people analyze your actions will none of them find you at fault? Because if even a single one does, then by your own standard, you should never be allowed a second chance by anyone.

Everyone has to start somewhere. We should reward honest effort instead of punishing honest effort but ignorance.

Exactly! It’s a giant lie I tell you.

It’s the same as when people in the states say “Wyoming (or sometimes North dakota) doesn’t exist”

I mean, have YOU ever actually met someone from Wyoming?

I mean the creator of the movement back on reddit was literally anti-work. They went on to get interviewed on the news and made a complete fool of themselves and the people who had a much more well reasoned approach, causing a split into “work reform”/worker empowerment communities, which this one is more along the lines of.

The amount it has improved over the last month since I joined has been insane. It’s a lot more stable, the apps that exist are improving at an insane pace (and many many many more are being created). It’s exciting.

“Of course I know him, he’s me”

Ruud is also the admin of lemmy.world

Not every post needs to be a dissertation.

You keep saying this sentence, and the funny thing is you aren’t saying anything of substance.

You better not be fooling me.

Old or new, we welcome you!

I just told my fairly tech-unsavvy partner the email analogy:

You sign up on Google, I sign up on yahoo, my bro-in-law runs his own from a server in his house. We can all email each other and the email looks mostly the same no matter who reads it, but yahoo isn’t Google isn’t my bro-in-law.

She immediately got it and has an account on some instance and has subscribed to a bunch of places.
