Generally no.
A few larger companies do.

That all depends on the specifics of “good pay”. I guarantee there is some amount of money that I’ll accept to do practicaly any job. That may be far more than “good” though.

Yes. Absolutely. No question.

The story is about a little guy, fighting the big corporate power that already beat him once, and is trying take over everything. It also explores trans-humanist themes of person-hood, and AI.

I did not. I didn’t have an iPhone to be able to get onto the settings with.

That’s the most iOS looking app I’ve ever seen on Android. Not a fan. Sorry

That’s awesome! It’s nice to know it works out sometimes. Congrats!

In my experience, they’re thinking 20-30 cents per hour. And yah, that’s never enough to change someone’s mind. 20-30% that could make a difference, but it’s way too much for them to ever concider.

Am I alone in not carding about about inter-series continuity?

Not a criticism. Just wondering if I’m the odd one?

Slightly longer AI summary by Kagi

Researchers have developed a novel vaccine that targets senescence-associated glycoprotein (SAGP) expressed in inflamed brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. When tested in mice, the vaccine reduced amyloid deposits, decreased inflammatory biomarkers, and improved the animals’ awareness of their surroundings. This suggests the vaccine may lessen disease symptoms. The vaccine targets activated microglia cells which play a role in brain inflammation that can worsen cognitive decline. By removing toxic microglia, the vaccine may control inflammation and ultimately repair deficits suffered in Alzheimer’s disease. If successful in humans, the vaccine could be a major step forward in delaying or preventing the disease.

Lets try it this way. Would say your favourites things, include everything you like? Do you like some things that aren’t your favorite? Do you keep a list of everything you’ve ever liked? Would it be as big as the list of your favorite things?

Do you see the difference? It’s a mater of degree that separates them. They are not the same. That’s why they are two different words.

You are in a way. Just not only that.

Favourite and Bookmark are absolutely different things. They’re two different lists for you to use as you see fit.
Neither of them is a Like though. I’m not sure that fact is really debatable.

Mastodon doesn’t have Likes at all.

The star you’re referring to is Favorite. Those go into your Favorite list. So you can refer back to them more easily.

My default is Top6Hours

A unified API and a single login, are two separate things.

A single federated authentication could be a good idea. But the various federated services are different enough that they should have different APIs.

I do. Any questions?

when I first log into Lemmy or Kbin, despite me having my settings set to show me only subscribed stuff by default, it totally ignores that setting (and what communities I’ve blocked) and just shows me the equivalent of /all

That sounds like a problem with the browser your using. Try clearing cache, going back to default settings. See if it happens in a private window, or different browser altogether.

Convincing people to leave Facebook Messenger isn’t that hard. Just let them know Zukerberg and everyone at Facebook can see everything they send.

It is easier with a whole group of friends. If none of your friends known each other, you should work on that for other reasons. Groups of friends are better in general.

This always struck me as strange thinking.
Are most people really unable to understand and use different messengers with different contexts and groups?

Honestly I use a few myself. My job has Tiger Connect. I use Signal with all my family and friends. Then I use SMS for some companies automatic notifications. It’s pretty simple and easy.

Not sure where you are, but there’s practically no place in the US you get a lunch for that. In flat terms it’s quite cheep. It’s only expensive relative to free.

And when you think about it, your search service really is your internet. It shapes your whole internet experience. If that’s not worth $5/month to make sure it’s good and not polluted with ads, I don’t know what to tell you.
