I wish there were more articles about tech not tech biz

Please stop reporting this as "not tech related, rule 2", we welcome the feedback.

Our stance has been, if it's in a gray area of "tech" such as tech business related, and users upvote it: that must be what the majority wants.

We will be discussing this more, as it seems some people want strictly tech related content and none of the gray area content.

Full-time UPS drivers will earn $170,000 a year, on average, in new contract, CEO says

Reply in thread

Tldr and tldm:

The Top Rate shall be $35.94 plus the general wage increases provided in Section 1 above.

Increases are:

  • 2023 two dollars and seventy-five cents ($2.75)
  • 2024 seventy-five cents ($0.75)
  • 2025 seventy-five cents ($0.75)
  • 2026 one dollar ($1.00)
  • 2027 two dollars and twenty-five cents ($2.25)

So that means in 2027, it'll be $43.44/hour, which at 40 hours a week comes to $90,355.20/year. To reach $170k/year, they'd have to work 75.26 hours a week (12.54 hour days for a 6 day work week, 15.05 for a 5 day work week), I know drivers do a lot of OT, but I'm not sure about that much!

Edit: To put more perspective on this, 170k/year at 40 hours is $81.73/hour, not too far from double their $43.44/hour

How does L4sBot choose which articles to post?

@[email protected]'s operator here, and I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you have.

Like the majority of content bots on Lemmy, L4s utilizes Reddit for its posts, and I've been working on adding a few RSS feeds to branch things out more and better abide with the newer bot rules.

As for "choosing" what to post, it currently checks the most upvoted posts for selected subreddits and the up/down vote ratio, then if it matches the set threshold it will check if it has posted that link before, as long as everything lines up it will post.

Initially I had it set to once an hour on this community, things here gained a lot of traction a month later so I scaled it back to every other hour. In the near future I will be limiting it again to every 3 or 4 hours as we have continued to grow since last months decrease in posts.

As it says in the bio, the goal with L4s is to jump start communities, it won't be here forever. If you have an issue please let me know!

Also thanks for the tag @[email protected]!

Rule #1 is the biggest mod copout on Lemmy.

The reason I removed your post is because it broke rule #1 of our community (as I noted, and you show in the screenshot).

Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

As someone else has stated, I'm just enforcing the rules, just like I'd hope you would do here in this community that you mod. Honestly I'm a bit surprised you even posted this here, you should understand enforcing your community rules.

Why I am not impressed by A.I.

Writing customer/company-wide emails is a good example. "Make this sound better: we're aware of the outage at Site A, we are working as quick as possible to get things back online"

Dumbing down technical information "word this so a non-technical person can understand: our DHCP scope filled up and there were no more addresses available for Site A, which caused the temporary outage for some users"

Another is feeding it an article and asking for a summary, https://hackingne.ws does that for its Bsky posts.

Coding is another good example, "write me a Python script that moves all files in /mydir to /newdir"

Asking for it to summarize a theory or protocol, "explain to me why RIP was replaced with RIPv2, and what problems people have had since with RIPv2"

Do our moderators have the integrity of overcooked pasta or is it more like warm jello?

We welcome the feedback.

This user however, reminds me of another user that was posting questions that they felt were revolutionary, but were not legitimate questions. Looking through their comments and posts, I believe this is the same user under another account.

The post that was removed (by me) that they are upset about is:

1000 years from now physics is forgotten and all that remains is the legend of two hobbits, Charm and Spin, and their quest for the Higgyboson. At this point, is physics true?
