Yellow ink used to draw those sweet invisible fingerprints on every printed page so you can be tracked easily

eh, it’s mostly cringe when the take isn’t stupid, so here I find it fine

But I get the hate

I personally like taking one or two days off randomly, but yea people should still have the option to take weeks as well to… well… have a life outside of work

#OpenToWork

Why would it display the priced paid by the company like this, when it doesn’t for other countries like France though? Seems weird

Unless USA companies don’t pay taxes when paying a salary? But I don’t really believe that

It’s not nearly as hard to host your own server (or pay for it to be hosted).

Do you really expect more than even 5% of all youtube channels to do it? You have high hopes.

compensates for by sharing the distribution effort between viewers

I believe it’s done in a kinda P2P way? Didn’t really check, but wouldn’t that just not work with NAT internet connections, which many people have because that’s just more secure this way? Also, bad for privacy.

Using a TURN server would also add huge costs so it’s basically like hosting your own server

Nobody ever asks “who pays for the servers” when it comes to Matrix or XMPP

I don’t so I wouldn’t, but if I was, I would be wondering, as I always do. Anyways, I believe XMPP doesn’t store stuff and only transmits, and Matrix doesn’t store things forever (and doesn’t store videos like YT), and the main instance is funded by donations, and smaller instances are just pretty small and have media wiped when needed

it benefits monopolists to imply that doing so is necessary

That’s the POV of people in !technology@lemmy.world or selfhosted. Most people can’t be bothered with this shit and are pretty tech illiterate. Some don’t want to waste even a minute. And that’s the case of the very vast majority of people on the internet.

I meant good health, no (mental) illness, no medical treatment, already have somewhere to live…

Then it’s not an alternative

If it pays “a good bit more per view” than YouTube when basically no one on YT pays and many users have adblockers, someone is getting ripped off here

Then at this point I start to wonder: why can’t they take people in countries where the cost of living is cheaper? When you’re funded by donations, this seems more logical

I feel like companies based in the USA and accepting donations make it so that donations from countries outside USA are a lot less meaningfull because we get less money, and they need to spend more.

So 170k$ isn’t that much

If that’s the amount the company pays, then yea. If this is the amount the employee receives, then that’s a lot. Like really.

what the employee pays

seems like there’s a problem here?

Indeed, but it’s understandably a super high amount compared to what we get. If you’re in good shape, you get way more money. If not, you probably get (a lot) less.

Pretty much the same in France. Companies pay 150% to 200% of the amount that the employee receives, when the employee has a relatively high pay, and the employee then pays a significant amount of its pay in diverse things, then the income tax hits. France is pretty much one of the countries that taxes the most in the world so…

People have been saying this for years now.

Who pays for the servers? Because if even big platforms like Signal sometimes struggle to pay the bills, in part because they spend a lot on their servers, then it’ll be dozens of times worse with video hosting

Running a TOTP app on desktop seems like a potential security issue. Get a malware on your desktop and you’re fucked

I believe the reason we use mobile devices is that they have better isolation and are generally less vulnerable

Unless we have some serious alternatives, that won’t happen anytime soon

Video hosting is really expensive. Every service running for free will eventually enshitify and turn out similar, because there’s no such thing as free massive servers

Funnily enough, it shows the localised amount.

For me in France it shows 50k€ to 69k€, so $58k to $80k at current exchange rates

It just confirms that this is USA only haha

Btw glassdoor sucks. Forces you to have an account and register work shit

if it’s a matter of years and not centuries then in fairly alright. In many countries nowadays, new borns will never have ownership of a house or flat.

Even in europe, $50k yearly would be considered a good pay, and house in major cities would also cost way more than $170k

It’s the people that make blocking lists that we should thank. I don’t think uBO makes anything themselves
