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.

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.

That’s not an argument defending Trump. In fact it admission that you believe Trump is a criminal.

Biden should also be investigated, and indicted if evidence is found.

I would argue most members of the three branches should be impeached. Mostly for insider trading.

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.

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.

If you suppress it, letting it fester, you’re right. But that’s not what they’re talking about.

They’re describing actually letting it go. Letting the emotions wash over you and dissipate naturally. It may look the same on the outside, but internally it’s very different. It’s by far the best skill for your mental health.

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.

If you look at the lack of rights of Jews in any Muslim country, versus the fact that Muslim Israeli citizens have full rights and even leadership roles in government, it is crystal clear that Israel is the LEAST “apartheid” state in the region.

Being better than the worst, isn’t a good justification for being bad. Do you hold yourself to the standards of the worst people you know?

I usually just ask them, when I wan to see what my favorite people are up to.
