Who, in their right mind, thought other countries would pay them?
I have had enough times in which this was not the case, so dispute the percentage. But this can be the case, yes.
Oh no, not the economy!
I think given the target audience and the topic, it was basically impossible to not Print money.
I don't see the issue with recommending a generic instance, if your intend is to convert the generic user. It certainly is a better experience than saying 'ok, so choose what you like from this list of instances' and they don't even know the implications or what that means.
The overcomplication of Lemmy is an issue, and this behavior tries to avoid that.

It can be free, but people creating a distro can ask for money. Mostly it's free tho, and you probably can enter a custom amount of 0.
I hate this. Why did I wake up to these news.
Yes, because the union contract defines the absolute minimum of the rate, and union members can also earn more.
This will be my last response, it's frustrating, these are basic principles of how these contracts work and I'm tired of explaining it.
The contract negotiated by the unions just defines the minimum, union members can earn more.
That's just personal negotiation then. And nothing that this top level comment was talking about.
You are saying it's union members vs non union members being separated.
And it's not.
The people the contract is with, maybe all employees of the company have the agreement.
You are thinking way too much into that statement, the way I described is the way it works here, and that seems much more likely tbh.
I don't read it like that. The sentence just says that their pay rate has that amount, not that it is connected to them not being a union member.
There was this news report about a french scientist being denied entry to USA, because they critiqued the science budget cuts. While not arrested or something, it's still telling.
I don't think it's preferential pay. It's just that they pay more, somebody in the union also can get more money than the union minimum. Somebody not part of the union can get less or more than somebody in the union, just not below the union minimum.
It's not that if they join the union that they get less money. The union + 0.5 just means that they earn better than the minimum and the employer gives them more than the minimum, because people like that.
At least that's how it works where I live and union contracts are common.
Not everyone part of the union has to get exactly the union minimum, it's just that you cannot legally get less. People might not be part of the union but they still fall under the union contract negotiated by the union, because it applies to the entire company.

I love this. Even more so that there are two intertwined.
