I don't have the data, but in HCOL areas a six digit salary doesn't go that far. And the real point is how much downward pressure does it put on compensation for Americans who do have job mobility? How does the pay between these two population compare and change over time?

The H1B system makes it functionally impossible to change jobs, and employers can take advantage of that by depressing wages, worsening working conditions, and laying off other staff. Employers hold all the power in that relationship.

Elsevier

Was all I needed to read to understand what's going on.

It's emotional too. At least it was for me.

They won't even spend the money. It just builds up.

At this rate all that's going to be left safe to eat is Doritos and Cool Whip.

That's a really fun idea

This makes the South Park arc even funnier. Maybe that's why he's sore.

Those companies do everything they can to make it as hard as legally possible.

Don't interrupt a manbot when he's with his accountants.

I'm happy to use mobile apps in the fediverse. Begrudgingly I'll use mobile banking apps as needed.

I go back and forth between the YouTube app and mobile website. Mobile web is nice because SponsorBlock and Dearrow both work on it.

Dumb engagement quizzes they everyone completes and then shares and feeds the data brokers are indeed mildly infuriating. Also more !aboringdystopia@lemmy.world

It's nice to see gaming covered in NYT at all. The article generally rings hollow to me. I'm not an industry expert, but:

• It's easy to be profitable when you're just making a sandbox and your players make the games, but at that point are you a game developer? (Roblox)
• High end graphics cards have become so expensive that people can't afford gaming with good graphics
• AAA developers aren't optimizing games as well as they used to, so only high end hardware would even run them
• AAA is more focused on loot boxes, microtransactions, season passes, and cinematics all wrapped up in great visuals. That's at the expense of innovative gameplay and interesting stories. Making the graphics worse won't get execs to greenlight better games, just uglier ones. And they'll still be $70.
• Even when games are huge successes and profitable, studios are getting bought and shut down (EA, Microsoft, Sony?), so it's hard to say the corps are hurting.

heavily left-leaning

Where's the heavily left-leaning news? I'd like to consume some. Late-stage capitalism, rights of labor, single payer healthcare, CEO/corporate greed, abolish cars, eat the rich-type news would be nice to see somewhere.

Star Trek always had some levity. And all the other new Trek has always felt too serious - they've been constantly saving the Federation/humanity/Galaxy/universe. If they need to make a funny show in order to tell a funny story, then fine. Go for it.

This is way less than 10%. He's a bargain.

Aww Christmas scritches for the good boi.

That sounds nice! My OLED is only 165Hz, but I'll have to try it out.

So pretty. How was it?

She'd be into that, as would her supporters.

Do the downed planes become an excuse for even further escalation?
