Responding to the OP’s comment. Not sure why you think caring about polls and caring about what people think are different somehow. A poll is literally a measure of what people think about something

Not sure how a decentralized platform can be controlled by a single entity. Maybe lemmy.world, but not Lemmy itself.

oh lawd he comin

Do you have a list of the MAGA influencers that were revealed to be posting from other countries? I looked around and couldn’t find anything specifically about her.

It depends on the subject area and your workflow. I am not an AI fanboy by any stretch of the imagination, but I have found the chatbot interface to be a better substitute for the “search for how to do X with library/language Y” loop. Even though it’s wrong a lot, it gives me a better starting place faster than reading through years-old SO posts. Being able to talk to your search interface is great.

The agentic stuff is also really good when the subject is something that has been done a million times over. Most web UI areas are so well trodden that JS devs have already invented a thousand frameworks to do it. I’m not a UI dev, so being able to give the agent a prompt like, “make a configuration UI with a sidebar that uses the graphql API specified here” is quite nice.

AI is trash at anything it hasn’t been trained on in my experience though. Do anything niche or domain-specific, and it feels like flipping a coin with a bash script. It just throws shit at the wall and runs tests until the tests pass (or it sneakily changes the tests because the error stacktrace repeatedly indicates the same test line as the problem).

hey, there’s dignity in being a world champion cum wrangler

I didn’t see that word in there. I did see something like “stupid sack of shit” but I don’t recall seeing that specific slur. Maybe I missed it, can’t see the link anymore though.

Honest question: where is there a slur in that link? I’m not sure if I’m just missing it or if there’s a word I don’t know is considered a slur now in there.

When your entire manufacturing process is run on the back of slaves, the product is cheap enough that the shipping cost doesn’t matter.

The further we get from 9/11, the more impossible it is to even conceptualize the future. Like, idk what kind of jacked up shit happened to the timeline that day, but it was bad. Maybe tower 7 was the fucking gateway to the multiverse and some Doctor Who shenanigans happened when it fell.

We’ve reached the point where MTG and Candace Owens are actually saying reasonable things that no one in leadership positions is allowed to say. I sincerely do not know what could possibly happen next.

I don’t think you can advocate for anything even remotely on the “right” in political discussions anymore unless you mean MAGA. That well is so poisoned at this point that everyone is going to assume you’re a MAGA troll wearing a mask the second you voice any right-leaning opinion.

It’s pretty unfortunate. There are plenty of “live and let live” types in the US that identify informally as libertarians and would make great allies.

Your filesystem seems to have errors. Have you run fsck? That may or may not fix the problem, you may just have a bad ssd on your hands.

edit: that last screenshot is showing a read error on the SSD, even though SMART is passing. Smells a lot like a bad SSD to me.

Yes. And so much stupider.

No, the drop safety thing was “fixed” a while back. This is about a class action suit due to the reports of uncommanded discharges in holsters.

No question this guy is a tool, he’s posting on LinkedIn. However, he’s not wrong about startups being a bad fit for anyone looking for work-life balance. You’re literally trying to build a business from scratch as fast as possible before the seed money runs out, and your compensation is usually more equity than salary. No time for anything but work in that scenario, or no one gets paid.

Brother, what Lemmy instance do you think this community is on? You aren’t going to get a good discussion with this topic here.

This does not appear to be true. There was a bit of budget fuckery, and the state was certainly impacted by tariffs/deportation/bullshit caused by Trump, but there doesn’t appear to be anything to back up this tweet.

Not a mod, but this violates rule #3 and should probably be removed:

Posts should use high-quality sources, and posts about an article should have the same headline as that article. You may edit your post if the source changes the headline.

There’s a jillion real things to post about here. No need to spread misinformation just because it sounds like something you’d want to be true.

Employees have to pay for basically everything in the US, so salaries have to be a lot higher here. School, childcare, healthcare, retirement, you name it. Also, all those things are more expensive here because they’re provided by companies that need to make a profit. It sucks.

Listed salaries are almost always what the employee pays, not what it costs the company. In the US, this includes the payroll tax, and cost of “benefits,” like healthcare and unemployment insurance, and is referred to as the burdened rate. This is separate from the income tax the employee has to pay to the government, mind you.

The burdened rate for most employees at the companies I’ve worked for in the US is like 20-50% higher than the salary paid. Not sure exactly how it works in France, but I do know there’s a pretty complex payroll tax companies have to pay. I think it’s something like 40% at the salary you quoted.

I’ll stop here because your position is incredibly privileged and you refuse to see that. The minimum wage is too low, that’s not the point though. 70k a year is absolutely a comfortable wage for a single person to live on in almost every place in the US, except the biggest of the major cities.

You may not get everything you want but you should be able to cover everything you need, including an emergency fund, and still have enough to put aside a 5-10% for savings most years on 70k. If you really don’t believe that, you live in a bubble.
