@revk and many of those places will conveniently include bonus as something to be considered in the overall package.
Either it's a bonus or it's pay. Problem when it is pay is that reducing it makes people really mad.
I wonder if pc power supplies are able to taste different flavours of power being fed to them.
Maybe like Spain has a specific high frequency ripple voltage that makes it spicy or sweden has a very low .02hz +/-1v fluctuation that has a calming effect on capacitors.
(I am hoping nothing goes wrong plugging in my PC to Sweden's grid XD)
A "qualia" I do not like is when you search Google for something and your first result is a forum or Reddit thread on the exact subject asking your exact question and the top response is very abrasively going uhhhhh, why didn't you just Google for it??"
No, john
You are the Google

On Friday night I spent another few hours flying around and exploring northern California, but as soon as I took off it was clear that one thing was dominati...YouTube
Much of frontend security design is hostile in a way that reduces security.
Most people doing security design are bad at what they do.
I recently ran into an old pro-planet t-shirt from
the early '80s – over 40 years ago we knew,
we even yelled and screamed and signed petitions
and tried to get that difference made
What is wrong with people?
One of the downstream effects of the AI boom that I hadn't really thought about is that sites are starting to introduce anti-crawling tech as standard, because they don't want all their bandwidth going to training chatgpt7.
This is going to make life harder for people who run benevolent scrapers. How many sites are going to be blocking the wayback machine now, just because it looks too much like an AI scraperbot?
I'm blocking those AI bots but intentionally exempt the wayback machine.
To me, the issue is not the crawlers themselves, nor bandwidth nor content. The issue I have with GPTBot and Facebook's bots is they come as a flock, to the extent that my server can't handle. They are rude and never care to learn how search bots behave.
"Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them."
We bring up the Atwood quote all the time to explain why women are careful when rejecting men, but we seem to have forgotten the first part
*This* is why the right aren't bothered when we use adjectives that suggest we fear them, but are melting down over being called 'weird'
The thought of being laughed it is a fascist's kryptonite

I cannot believe I’m still having to say this five years into this pandemic, but COVID doesn’t make an exception when you take a mask off inside to eat or drink.
Like what exactly do people think this is?
There isn’t like a hydration / nourishment transmission exception field.
Hello Britishers; remember to wear sunscreen!
I saw lots of people going bright pink yesterday. Even if our weather is nice and mild, it’s still the sun, and burning is no fun.
Chap at FWA24!

Just realised that on Mastodon, boosting *is* the algorithm.
There's no code trying to cleverly show me stuff it reckons I'd be into, based on what my contacts are into, instead my contacts are saying "I like this, I bet my contacts would like it too" and that is way smarter than any algorithm.
Thank you, boosters!
It's jarring to think that we've only had homosexuality be fully legal in most of the UK since about 2003, and the first gay marriage in 2014.
To underscore that, it's only been about 10 years since you could say gay people have had comparable rights to straight couples.
And we're still fighting for the right to be who we are, and for our trans friends to do the same.
My pc-keyboard-oriented brain finally figured out that "eepy" as "sleepy" makes sense it you realize that for the mobile generation(s), "L" is right next to backspace.
It sounds like baby talk, but it's a typo:
"S⌫eepy"
