Here's how a debanding works: For example, for bands 1 - 9, if you are demoted 1 level, your salary and GDP does not change BUT you are probably at the top of the salary range for the lower Band level -- which means you are unlikely to get a base salary increase until you get promoted up a level.

Thu 22:07:07 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ any roaches?
Thu 22:26:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I found some dead ones in the inner bag and shook them out on the ground in the parking lot.
Thu 22:26:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They probably crawled out and died months ago.
Thu 22:26:27 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Thu 22:27:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The only good bug is a dead bug.
Thu 22:27:18 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ I'm doing my part!

Thu 22:29:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Also Flatpak: This runtime is not supported.
Thu 22:30:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Wow, that only took 5 months.
Thu 22:32:21 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Thu 22:33:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Some of my sticky traps caught roaches coming in from the apartment next door.
Thu 22:33:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Not good.
Thu 22:33:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I keep flat traps running across the baseboards in the area that attaches to that apartment.
Thu 22:34:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I caught three roaches that way over the last 6 months.
Thu 22:34:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I've also been spraying (Orkin) and putting out poison bait traps all over the place.
Thu 22:37:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The goal is to kill as many of them as possible before they can set up in my apartment. The kind of apartment buildings I can afford usually have something like this going on.
Thu 22:38:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because they're the ones with landlords that don't care and they rent to nasty people who also tend to be broke.

Thu 23:01:16 │ 〖Frank〗 │ a new Google News spam site: https://evrimagaci.org/gpt
Thu 23:01:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's so many of those garbage and slop sites.
Thu 23:01:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And worse, when they just shove some state-backed propaganda straight from the Trump Administration.
Thu 23:02:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They never did that during Biden.
Thu 23:02:19 │ 〖Frank〗 │ I think Google News will shut down soon because they've stopped taking precautions.
Thu 23:02:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Google Now is just here every day letting the Trump Administration shit in your cornflakes.
Thu 23:02:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Well, I used to use Google Now to get a useful summary of major news.
Thu 23:03:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Now it's AI slop and Trump Administration accounts on X.
Thu 23:03:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So I never ever open that.
Thu 23:03:17 │ 〖Frank〗 │ what is Google Now man?
Thu 23:03:36 │ 〖Frank〗 │ I said Google News
Thu 23:03:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's that thing on your Android phone if you swipe right from the home screen.
Thu 23:04:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah, it's basically Google News built into Android.
Thu 23:04:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But it's called Now.
Thu 23:04:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The same sort of rot is happening on both.
Thu 23:04:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MSN used to have human news curators.
Thu 23:04:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Apparently over 200 of them.
Thu 23:04:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Microsoft fired them and went to AI trash.
Thu 23:04:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then Google did it months later.
Thu 23:05:02 │ 〖Frank〗 │ btw for a moment I thought you were a bot because you type so fast.
Thu 23:05:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MSN News was probably not very profitable and so when the mass layoffs started, you get rid of things that are not profitable per employee first.

Fri 00:07:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I have Orkin rotate poisons.
Fri 00:08:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If a few are resistant to one, something else kills them.
Fri 00:08:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Or they get stuck in my traps that I've deployed as a perimeter defense.
Fri 00:08:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So the guy next door is crawling and the only roach activity I've seen in my unit is a few strays that crawled through the wall and died from the poison or got stuck on a glue trap.
Fri 00:09:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Glue traps are great.
Fri 00:09:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They won't solve an infestation, but they're one tool in the toolkit, they catch whatever happens to crawl through and they're like 20 cents each.
Fri 00:10:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Whatever they catch dies and doesn't go on to breed with something and increase the problem you're trying to fix.
Fri 00:10:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They monitor areas and let you know where to tell the exterminator to carpet bomb next time.
Fri 00:11:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you catch one in the utility closet but all the others are clean, you know there's something going on in there.

Fri 03:16:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He said if people lose their credit cards, they won't be able to pay their water bills.
Fri 03:16:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Well, if you put your water bill on the credit card so it doesn't get shut off, you have water for another month. You also have that bill accumulating 25-30% interest.
Fri 03:17:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So unless you win the lottery before you go broke, depending on credit cards to plug holes in your budget is stupid.
Fri 03:17:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It won't work. It will look to others as if everything is fine for the months or years you can hold up the minimum payments and do balance transfers, but you've already lost when you get into this pattern.

Fri 03:19:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So by the time their credit cards get discharged, the banks already made more than they lost.
Fri 03:21:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The only time going this route can make sense is if you're so old you'll die before you reach the end of the line.

Fri 22:42:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Windows 95 wasn't too bad.
Fri 22:42:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It hadn't really occurred to them yet how they could be truly nasty I think.
Fri 22:43:02 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it still had hilariously bad design
Fri 22:43:09 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I mean, they had the bundling deals and stuff, but the OS wasn't full of ads and spyware.
Fri 22:43:10 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ like how they did dynamic linking
Fri 22:43:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ <MinceR> it still had hilariously bad design
Fri 22:43:22 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Inherited mostly from DOS.
Fri 22:43:30 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ DOS didn't have dynamic linking
Fri 22:43:41 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and they were already lying to their users
Fri 22:43:48 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ No, I meant most of the OS issues were inherited from DOS.
Fri 22:44:04 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the big INNOVA~1 of Backdoors95 was that they told people there's no DOS under it and tried to hide it
Fri 22:44:20 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I'm not sure whether you could extend the "Chicago" kernel Windows to support multiple processors.
Fri 22:44:28 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and tried to break some functionality in service of a lie
Fri 22:44:36 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Those were uncommon in the 90s and something they could charge extra for in Windows NT.
Fri 22:44:49 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ NT was also hilariously poorly designed
Fri 22:44:58 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ but that's a given when you have dave cutler design your OS
Fri 22:45:10 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The memory manager was horrible, there were some unofficial patches to get Windows 9x to see and work with memory up to 4 GB properly.
Fri 22:45:17 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But the guy that wrote them is dead now.
Fri 22:45:20 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the "engineer" who "thought" that "do the opposite of Unix in everything" was a design philosophy and not shitposting
Fri 22:45:25 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And he's probably the only one who knew what he did.
Fri 22:45:52 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ My favorite "Windows-ism" is drive letters.
Fri 22:46:12 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ At first I hated the *nix method because it didn't make sense to me, now I hate the Windows method.
Fri 22:46:19 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ of course NT still had the "just load shit on random addresses and if another process can't link to it because you didn't get lucky then LOL JUST LOAD ANOTHER COPY" idiocy in its dynamic linking before x86_64
Fri 22:46:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Because it doesn't tell you anything.
Fri 22:46:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ What kind of storage?
Fri 22:46:25 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Nope.
Fri 22:46:26 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ because that's how things are done at microslop
Fri 22:46:33 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Is it a partition or an actual drive? Nope
Fri 22:46:35 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ "LOL, what's position-independent code?"
Fri 22:46:58 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Windows XP Service Pack 2 supported Position Independent Executables.
Fri 22:47:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But not well.
Fri 22:47:02 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ these fucking idiots got into control of the entire fucking industry
Fri 22:47:03 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and it shows
Fri 22:47:16 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ If you enabled it in parts of the OS, certain things that were not aware of it would fail.
Fri 22:47:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So it was off by default.
Fri 22:47:34 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And almost nobody actually turned it on.
Fri 22:48:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Window Snyder was later hired by Mozilla.
Fri 22:48:02 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yeah, drive letters are also fucking stupid
Fri 22:48:09 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They called her the chief security something or other.
Fri 22:48:13 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ That was her job title.
Fri 22:48:33 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it's a tiny computer but still waste memory on storing a separate working directory for every single fucking filesystem
Fri 22:48:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They said she was the Program Manager for XP SP2 like that was a good thing.
Fri 22:48:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ for a shitty UI
Fri 22:48:51 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ SP2 didn't really fix that many security issues.
Fri 22:49:21 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The malware problem was almost as bad as ever. It closed off some very low hanging fruit and broke how certain malware was spreading, but it didn't do much.
Fri 22:49:21 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ microslop's approach to security guarantees that they'll never fix it
Fri 22:49:35 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ they see it as yet another, newer, trendier way of selling features you don't need
Fri 22:49:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ "security features"!
Fri 22:49:57 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Microsoft was more interested in fixing the "summer of worms" crap than doing much else.
