  • Introducing the new Proton Mail apps for iOS and Android

    Jump

  • Yet they still didn't fix the "you have mail according to the app badge, but have to pull to refresh because we can't figure out background refreshing" issues on iOS.

  • YSK: YouTube views went down since mid-August because they no longer count views of not logged in users

    Jump

  • So they go and blame ad blockers for the decrease at the same time they cause said "decline"? Classic.

  • Come in and find out.

  • Thanks for nothing

  • Bold of you to assume they care, or you can actually contact them in a way they'd get something fixed. When I report spam/scam job postings, they just send a canned response saying the listings are "within guidelines".

  • Amazon, Google, Microsoft reportedly warn H-1B employees to stay in the US

  • It'd be funny if all the big tech Seattle-area HQ's moved to Vancouver just due to this.

  • Is there something like GitHub, but without big tech involvement, no data collection, no ads, open source, and preferably decentralized (maybe Fediverse or even P2P)?

  • +1 for forgejo

    The only requirement of yours it doesn't hit is "decentralized", since you'd likely be self-hosting it. If you're looking to host git repos, you're likely technical enough to fire up a foregjo container in Docker and go wild with it. Just make sure you have a plan for backups, and you're good.

  • Both are Exchange Traded Funds from Vanguard. VTI is "the whole US stock market, and VOO is "just the S&P 500".

    1. Open a brokerage account, I usually recommend Fidelity as I find them easy to get newcomers onto.
    2. Put the money you want to invest in there.
    3. Use that money to buy either fund
    4. Forget about it for 10 years
    5. Now you have your house down payment, probably

  • Trump to attach $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applicants

    Jump

  • Oh it's never in the interest of the greater good, with them. I'm just holding out hope they accidentally do something for the greater good.

  • UN assembly votes overwhelmingly to back two-state solution to Israel-Palestinian conflict

    Jump

  • It's so surreal this is referred to as the New York Declaration but the US votes against it. I'm sure there's history there, but I just see the irony on the surface.

  • $100K fee added to H1B applications

  • You missed the headline, it has already happened. Whether he caves later, is a different story.

  • Absolutely. Invest it in VTI or VOO, and leave it there (and reinvesting dividends) until you are ready to buy a home in your 30's.

    Or, spend $5K, and invest the rest. You'll thank yourself later.

  • AOC Reportedly Prepping for 2028 Presidential or Senate Run

  • I could really appreciate Schumer retiring and someone half his age replacing him.

  • Look up the Hire Act of 2025. I think the GOP is finally doing something helpful. Somehing about a clock being right, twice a day, etc.

  • I make that point every time the Trumpers in my family rail on about the small number of manufacturing jobs we might see come back due to tariffs. Outsourced jobs are in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, and none of them require massive infrastructure re-shoring to get off the ground.

    If a company can't profit without offshoring jobs, they don't need to exist. There are plenty of companies ready to fill that gap with people that live and work onshore, and plenty of people with entrepreneurial spirit ready to start new companies when they aren't competing with labor making 10% of what someone here would make to do the same job.

  • The HIRE Act of 2025 is the other edge of the double-edged sword on that front. In order for jobs to really be re-shored, we need both the fix to the H1B program, and that act. Both make it prohibitively expensive to replace American workers with cheaper labor source from outside the country. I hope we get both, but I'm also a pessimist.

  • Employers are the ones generally sponsoring these visas, but when they cost more than hiring domestically, maybe that'll change.

  • Trump to attach $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applicants

    Jump

  • Exactly. H1B's are the band-aid companies use to pay $60K/year for $125K/year jobs, not because "they can't find talent", but because they "can't find talent willing to do the job for that little". It's another form of "socialism for the rich".

  • Jeffries condemns Kimmel shutdown, demands FCC chair 'resign immediately'

  • I never really understood the "x politician demands y official resign". I'm not old, but old enough. I've never seen this amount to anything, ever. What's the point?
