This does suck though. To start, a counter-offer-based model begs discrimination. You should be getting yearly raises commensurate with (at absolute bare minimum, not even necessarily accounting for inflation) the increase in productivity from year to year.

I see that a lot with just the starting percentages of yearly raises. Most companies never keep up with market value, and by the time you've spent ten years there, you're making much lower than the industry standard.

The worst is employers who have some 1-5 scale for yearly performance and they gatekeep bosses who try to give out too many 5s. It's not a competition among your peers. If the whole team is doing good and working hard, then reward all of them.

Every couple years I interview around, I get a job offer, I take it back it my employer and they either match it or I leave.

I don't even have to do that. My employer always give me good raises and even better bonuses. Every year.

Benefits are great. PTO is great. Work-life balance is great. No layoffs whatsoever. It's not just about making money for the company and the owners, but the rest of the employees as well.

I don't need the strife from trying to start a union here. Save it for companies that have pushed their employees too far. Unionize where it's going to have the greatest benefit.

This isn't like an anti-virus system. You can't just catalog them all. It's too easy to create. Hell, with the advent of LLMs and AI-generated images, it's going to be even easier to create.

What community was in posted at? I hate how these post URLs don't show the community in the URL.

EDIT: The modlog is interesting. Very sporadic activity up until a few days ago, and then the mod is cleaning up posts, comments, getting rid of moderators, etc.

This whole thing is just negotiation theater. Apple never intents to switch.

And then you lose the entire community, because of the sheer drop of the population. You can't run a social media platform with just "whales".

Ads can either be identified and blocked, or they are so hidden that the FTC gets involved.

This is a no-win situation for Twitter.

Those glasses don't know if they want to be against the face or at the tip of the nose (ie: not behind the eyes). So, it just compromised and did both in a very illogical way.

Also, this is why I inpaint. It doesn't start and end with the prompt.

Along with MSNBC, ProPublica, The Intercept, Voice of America, The Mirror, Rolling Stone, Al Jazeera, and a bunch of others.

Use both Mastodon and Twitter, and then jump ship from Twitter once the time is right. Once Twitter is completely gated by a paywall, the whole thing will just collapse.

I wished they mentioned Lemmy, but at least they are talking about Mastodon. I don't understand why more media outlets aren't switching away from Twitter, given how brazen Elon is with his enshittification.

EDIT: Away from Twitter, not to Twitter.
