I quite like my Honda Accord.

I'd say so. My wife has a degree in culinary. She's used it to work her way up the hospitality industry and is now a regional GM over a few hotels in our area.

I access mostly through the Lemmy PWA. I saw some weirdness yesterday. I didn't think to try to capture screenshots or error info. It seemed like I couldn't get a response from the server and the PWA just pooped the bed. I was able to get on an alt with a different instance so I figured some admin-y stuff was going on.

I had to log in to upvote and comment, but all seems well right now!

I would second this.

I've been at my current company as a senior SW engineer since 2015. Mostly because it's a good company, I like the people, I have mentors, the culture is good, and it's all remote. It's for a government contractor which means I ended up getting switched to a different project every few years when a project begins to sunset. Most of my experience is with various government contractors and this is the only one that's been able to transition me to other project. I'm currently working on my 3rd major project with this company and various minor projects in between.

My annual raises have been about 3~5%, but even then I began to feel like it wasn't enough. During my last transition, I mentioned to my new boss that I felt like I wasn't being compensated enough. He asked me to name my price and I said something reasonable. He was able to give me exactly that and a few months later during the typical raise cycle I got another 5% on top.

I really think a lot of companies don't put much thought into retention once someone is brought onboard. You just get scooped up and they do the 3~5% living expenses increase but not much beyond that. If you're feeling like you're not being compensated fairly, definitely bring it up to a manager or someone in the chain of command that can do something about it.

Once upon a time Twitter was held up as the ideal microservice.

If you've got several all over, I use an antihistamine like Benadryl or even Allegra. The itchiness is an allergic reaction and the antihistamine helps to calm your immune system down.

People tend to explain Lemmy using an email analogy.

Lots of people can use email by signing up with different email hosts. You can send and receive email from anyone as long as both parties know each other's email address. You can look at all of the email you receive by just logging into your account. When one person sends an email, the various email hosts route the email until it finally ends up in the receivers inbox.

Lemmy is like that, except all of the Lemmy servers (instances) don't communicate with an email protocol. They communicate with a special protocol that lets them talk about link aggregation stuff (posts submitted by users, comments, upvotes/downvotes , available communities, etc).

It doesn't matter which Lemmy instance you register on so long as all of the other Lemmy instances you're interested in are connected and communicating (aka federated) with the Lemmy instance you're registered with.

Hope that helps!

Are you saying there's other reddit-like/inspired webservices that are part of the fediverse that aren't Lemmy? What are those?

I'm trying to spread the word about the progressive web app as another option. It gives you the same functionality as you would have on a web browser.

In Chrome, login to whatever Lemmy instance you’re registered with, click the triple dot menu, and click “install app”. You’ll get a “Lemmy” app downloaded and added to your homescreen that looks and functions just like the website.
