We have a locality pay scale BAKED IN to federal salaries. Federal salaries are established and updated yearly. Using this, we could get rid of a dedicated minimum wage number. All we need to do is set the minimum wage to the lowest amount a federal employee could be paid in that location, and you’re all set. Federal minimum wage debate solved.

If the government can’t find employees, then they need to raise the locality pay there, or bump up the payscale across the board. Same could be done for the minimum wage

If reddit hadn’t locked their API behind absurd paywalls, it would have been a cool project to try to make a browser plugin that gives accounts a “credit score” based on the factors you’ve been looking at, in order to let users quickly judge how likely an account is a bot.

It could let people adjust the metrics it uses to calculate that score in the settings, so even if it becomes popular enough for bots to start trying to game the system, people can adapt their scoring metrics themselves and share config profiles that they think are more effective at rating bots.

Might be something cool to see for activitypub/fediverse/lemmy accounts, but with the data available varying by instance it might be a little harder to calibrate a “catch-all” scoring config

I guess you could say they’re plugging up the discussion!

In all seriousness, it takes more humanity to make a relevant joke than to identify an object in an image, analyze the accompanying text, and form a response that answers the question without a trace of a smart-ass tone.

The old sci-fi books were right. You can’t teach a robot to laugh. Not in the same way people do, with the tech we currently have, at least.

I just wish more people would be helpful after making their joke, all within the same comment. Keep it engaging and relevant rather than picking just one lane.

Lower inflammation, except for people with pollen allergies for the species of trees around them

As an American who has never been to the UK, somehow I agree

Hooded guy got played

Alabama as well

The vulnerability is CVE-2022-46723

In the US you can’t sell that because the government hates freedom

You know The jeopardy clues have a set height that this violates right? I know from context that this image isn’t what it appears to be, even without knowing which tool was used to make it.

And the alignment isn’t centered properly, which isn’t something someone with enough skill to replicate the font that closely would do.

I personally would rather see a well-crafted MSpaint diagram of what the fuck the author is describing than a Generative AI’s take

As bad as Reagan was, he wasn’t trying to sell out the country nearly as blatantly as Donald Trump is. For the staff of one of the most conservative presidents in recent memory to say they would support the liberal candidate is not so much a bad thing for Kamala’s campaign as it is a bleak commentary on the state of reality.

Impressive honestly

Zoroastrianism sounds cool as hell tbh

But wasn’t he just claiming a few weeks back that Kamala Harris wasnt black enough?

Sure Donny. Their rhetoric is of violence and intolerance for their fellow man. Right.

All violence is political violence.

I really only need like 2 or 3 mm of extra nail on one thumb to open oranges and grapefruits perfectly fine. Anything longer than that and it becomes unwieldy and unhygienic.

I accept that people sometimes keep their nails long. That acceptance comes with a caveat that I will not be eating anything handled by hands with long nails.
