Yes! This is what I was looking for! Thanks!

Interesting! Would this be similar to how you might temper a raw egg mixture into a warm soup or somesuch?

I read it as an allusion to the price of everything going up. But yes, eggs.

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 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.

I wonder if Lemmy could do single sign-on support like how you can log in some places with your Google or Facebook account.

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.

I’ve only found one NSFW community so far.

Yea, it’s pretty bad here.

This is what I see when I access pornhub from my home in Louisiana without a VPN.

I just learned that earlier today. I made a post about it here: https://mander.xyz/post/660612

I’m with ya though. It’s all new to us and the word needs to be spread. ✊

You might be able to see it from your home instance by clicking this link: !cats@midwest.social

Edit: nope that’s not working…

I like the idea of tags on instances to help search/discovery.

I’m not so sure I agree with that use case. Consider these made-up communities on not-made-up instances:

• !askquestions@lemmy.ml
• !askquestions@beehaw.org
• !askquestions@mander.xyz

I think the first two would be great for general questions. But since mander.xyz has a focus on science and nature, it would be more appropriate for science and nature questions.

Update: I just like having the app sitting in my homescreen

I’m loving it!

As an aside, I know a lot of people are using Jerboa for their mobile browsing app of choice, but I’ve discovered that you can just use the Lemmy progressive web app (PWA) instead and get the same experience as desktop. 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.

For an askscience alternative, I’d say check out: https://mander.xyz/c/nostupidquestions

For space stuff, I’d say check out https://mander.xyz/c/astronomy and https://mander.xyz/c/space

mander.xyz as a whole is meant to be science and nature focused.

Granted they’re all tiny and have low engagement, but it’s a start.
