Take this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_English-speaking_population

Intersect it with this list: https://www.worlddata.info/average-income.php

And you get

  • Philippines - 70m English Speakers - Average Hourly Income $1.44
  • India - 228m English Speakers - Average Hourly Income $0.90
  • Nigeria - 125m English Speakers - Average Hourly Income $0.66
  • Pakistan - 108m English Speakers - Average Hourly Income $0.51

etc, etc

When you want a Entry level online only job, your now competing with the global workforce.

You can get paid more when geography matters (so in person, or for legal reasons), culture matters, language matters (we already narrowed down to English for this example), skills matter (more difficult the skill, higher the remuneration), relationships matter (people know you, so they trust you to work remotely)

What are you offering, able to do, that someone from one of the low cost countries can't do in order to justify $20/hr? That's what should be driving your job search.

Uniqueness. How common is the name.

Lots of people are named Donald. Not many people are named Kamala

Though in some circumstances Trump has been referred to as " the Donald "

I have seen the tuta news... That really did annoy me, I emailed them every time I get one of them asking them not to do it anymore. It should just be a regular email. Not some special fake email.

It's pretty straightforward. If the apology is expressed around how the other person perceives things. It's not a real apology.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm sorry you think that. I'm sorry you took that misunderstanding from me.

In fact, in these situations, it may be better not to apologize at all. I realize some of the language I use isn't great, I'm working on it, please understand I'm not going to be perfect at it.

 

I love the hull c, it's just a romantic design, real space cowboy meets space trucker feelings.

I'm unable to browse some interesting kbin.social forums from lemmy 18.4. I see the github issues are open on the lemmy side, and on the kbin side it appears they think its a lemmy issue.

When do we think kbin and lemmy will play nice? with the joined communities we would have more varied and open discussions.

 

TLDR: Laser printer, no AC, high humidity.

I live in Singapore, the environment here is hot, humid, pretty much all the time.

I'm lucky to live in a house with a good breeze, so I tend to keep the windows open and all the rooms, and rarely turn air conditioning on. When I do it's only for the room I'm in.

My servers and printer, are in a room with no air conditioning usually, this hasn't been a problem historically. But I just got a brother laser printer, and one of those unpacking it I noticed it had a massive desiccation packet packed inside the printable area.

I wonder if people have had any issues in high humidity environments, with either their electronics, or a laser printer?

When I used to live in an area with a heavy ocean sea breeze, I had electronics that rusted from the inside from the high salt content. So I do wonder.

I have noticed paper I leave in a high humidity environment tends to become less rigid over time.

I have one of those fancy MSI gaming monitors, with a built-in KVM. It's pretty infuriating. If there's no video input, it stops forwarding keyboard and mouse commands. No way to switch keyboard and mouse via the keyboard. You have to use the toggle button on the monitor buried under multiple menus.

I'm looking for a nice KVM that people can recommend. I mostly care about the keyboard and mouse switching. I guess that's a KM. Ideally it wouldn't take multiple seconds for the USB to register on the new device when I switch. Bonus points if I can switch just using a keyboard combination.

https://github.com/debauchee/barrier Is an open source software option, that basically forward your keyboard and mouse over the network between machines. It's interesting.

I have some very sensitive systems, and I wouldn't be comfortable installing binary blobs on them, and a few are off the network entirely. So this solution would be less than ideal, but it's really cool.

What's your favorite KVM? How many machines do you have hooked up right now to the computer using?

Gather around everybody. It's time for another hour long PowerPoint, in the finest military tradition, about war economics. Perun has released a new video

 

No expectations to do anything, no guilt over not going out, the rain is a free pass to stay inside guilt free Read a book or watch a movie

 

When I get my favorite pizza from my favorite pizza shop, I like to put it in the fridge, and it tastes so much better cold.

Just the way the cheese sticks together and the consistency of the bread. I just like it cold.

 

A really interesting film about people coping with the end of the world. Slow paced compared to modern films, it delivers its message slowly, easing up to major changes. A fairly good narrative, and I enjoyed watching it. It had impact, at least with me)

 

Rossman is on form. A delightful rant about his experiences with gyms. And his promotion of privacy.com and their virtual credit card numbers that he can cancel remotely.

 

This drug looks really interesting. I hear lots of people have success reducing their appetite with it. I was wondering if anybody had experiences to share?

I'm already doing keto but I'm wondering if this could just be an enhancer

 

It's the weekend, and I have to cook for myself (heh).

What are your favorite keto receipies?

I've been been making lots of scrambled eggs and bacon, but I want some variety. I'm looking for inspiration
