“I’m making 50k”. Great, now I have to guess - dollars? Monthly? Yearly? If yearly then what’s the monthly paycheck? Net? Gross?

I mean surely it’s obvious in that example, no?

dollars

If that’s the native currency wherever you are, then of course dollars

Monthly? Yearly?

$50k/month about be $600k/year. Pretty sure you’d be able to tell if the person you’re talking to made half a million dollars a year vs just above the poverty line (in the US at least) just from context, but when in doubt - it’s probably safe to assume that the person you’re talking to isnt in the top 1% of earners

If yearly then what’s the monthly paycheck?

Yearly divided by 12? If you’re in a hurry and want a rough estimate just chop a number off the right and that’ll get you to within ~10% of the correct value

Net? Gross?

I’ve literally never heard anyone give their salary as gross outside the context of financial planning, and even then they’ll always specify “after taxes” or something similar.

Other comments go into plenty of detail about why they se various conventions are what they are (yearly vs monthly, net vs gross, etc(

“most efficient” depends on what you’re maximizing for

Speed?

Effort?

Potato wastage?

I’ve never actually watched it, but my wife does, and I’ve seen enough to say you’re 100% right

Audiobook Shelf - self hosted Audiobook server with a really excellent UI and very reliable

Tody - a habit tracking app specifically built around house chores, with functionality for multiple family members sharing the load

Sync for Lemmy - self explanatory

Tusky - also self explanatory

does this also block comments, or only posts? Sync has a similar feature, but only for posts, once inside a post you’re still subjected to their comments. Which for troll communities is honestly the worst part

Tbf, “learned a language” is a hard thing to pin down in any case.

I’ve been building enterprise software with python for almost a decade now. I still occasionally find stuff in the stdlibs that I didn’t know about, or even sometimes some subtle feature of the language that I never had reason to explore until now.

If someone asks me if I “learned” python, id say hell yeah - but there’s always still plenty to learn

That being said, no reasonable definition of learned includes what you could do in 2 days, even as an experienced dev lol

Most would agree with your point - right up until you suggest that having an “uncorrupt government” is remotely possible.

Pretty much the same level of unrealistic idealism as folks who think it’s remotely possible to transition a state to communism without it turning into authoritarianism.

There, now I’ve pissed off everyone lol

Edit: Except, I guess for the hardcore capitalists, but I assume those guys are all too dumb to read, so no point, really 🤷

The guy who wrote the lemmy software is the same guy who runs lemmygrad. All of lemmy is “tankie bullshit”. I suggest you go back to reddit to be safe from us.

TIL that open source software is inextricably tied to it’s creators political beliefs…

Sorry bud, but despite tankies on this site being really fucking loud and argumentative, you’re drastically outnumbered by newer members who have no relation to lemmygrad or other tanky instances.

No fediverse social media site “belongs” to it’s creator or their beliefs, that’s literally the whole point. If you want a site where it’s creators are able to enforce their beliefs on their users, maybe you should go back to traditional social media
