  • Discuss salaries!

    Jump

  • I always chucked at the jealousy argument, because it's just another way of admitting discriminatory pay practices. If people are paid the same for the same work, nothing to be jealous about.

    I had a manager once argue that equal pay for equal work just inspires people to slack off. I contend that being joblessafter being fired for being a slacker is motivation enough to earn that equal pay by doing equal work.

  • New York City Housing Authority to Replace Gas Stoves With Battery-Backed Induction Stoves in 100 Apartments Under Energy-Efficiency Pilot Program

    Jump

  • So they are replacing gas stoves because of pollution (article notes it), but adding a bunch of wildly over-priced e-waste (WiFi stove? GTFOOH), adding random fire risk (Lithium-Ion batteries are notorious for this), and doing so at tax payer expense. Nice.

    I feel like the $60M (plus labor/install costs) they will spend on these stoves for 10K homes would probably do a good deal of fixing whatever the reliability issues are, in the current gas environment, without wapping 10K stoves. We all know it's not "for the environment), it's "who knows someone on the board at that startup selling these stoves".

  • Man, been there. It's a dichotomy of their provisioning platform being antiquated, but their security requirements not giving a shit about that.

  • Yep, that's why companies try so hard to intimidate people into keeping that info secret. I think most if not every company I've ever worked for has had some version of

    • It's against company policy
    • It's illegal
    • It will just create jealousy

    And of course, my responses have always been

    • Too bad, it's federally protected
    • Liar
    • No, your payroll policies do that; same job, same pay

  • Employee commits suicide after MongoDB fired her during mental health leave

    Jump

  • Man, I read this as the technology being blamed, vs. her being their employee. I hope her family gets justice for this, but companies seem to be immune from consequences, so we'll see...

  • I tried watching what was supposed to be a video comparing several linux distros. Instead, it was AI text to speech narrating over random images. Are people uploading this crap in an attempt to get a share of ad revenue, or just to be awful? I have to hope Youtube doesn't let this be fully automated, so people are doing this on purpose...

  • Still angling for that Nobel Peace Prize...

  • Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030

    Jump

  • You know it's going to be successful when they go back to using antiquated productivity measurements like measuring based on lines of code in a time frame. We all know AI is fucking spectacular at generating overly verbose code.

  • A Million More Epstein Documents Have Been Found, Justice Dept. Says

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure these counts are in pages/images/etc. Not 1 milliions PDF's, but rather, 1 million pages in PDF format (example).

  • CBS Frantically Tries to Stop People From Seeing Censored ‘60 Minutes’

    Jump

  • Well, the magnet for the actual 60 Minutes segment would've been helpful, in addition to the other one.

  • Arch Linux's Main NVIDIA Driver Packages Now Using The Open Kernel Modules

    Jump

  • I upgraded o an RTX5050 just before all the prices skyrocketed. Glad I did, and also glad I didn't go for the higher end cards at the time. I've been quite impressed at the stability and graphics quality while dipping into Linux gaming.

  • U.S. Coast Guard is seizing a vessel off the Venezuelan coast in ongoing operation

    Jump

  • Why the fuck is the US Coast Guard not guarding the coast of the US? Is this unsanctioned war effort now/already multi-branch military operations?

  • Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft

    Jump

  • Their marketing spin is such BS. Trying to say that the amount of rework needed for apps to provide a wonderful experience, etc. Those apps already have that "wonderful" experience in Windows 10, Microsoft just cut corners in a redesign and power users are rightfully pissed off.

  • I'm kind of surprised the latency was that low. Unless the NK "employee" was spoofing being in SK or something.

  • Your Meta AI chats are being mined for targeted ads

    Jump

  • Every possible thing you do, in interacting with, or being a victim of, Meta's ecosystem, is data mined for targeted ads tr to sell your profile to others. Same for Google. Same for Microsoft. It's the tech giant playbook.

  • Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox

    Jump

  • Waterfox is on the same page. As long as the browser doesn't outright require it to functio0n, I think the privacy-focused forks will remain. Of course, it's extra work to maintain divergent code, but this is worth it, IMO.
