I'm now frequently seeing "cannot be understated" where the author means "cannot be overstated" even in ostensibly professional writing. It doesn't even have the bad excuse of following casual spoken language that "could/ couldn't care less" has. It's just obviously wrong. And yet.

"we pay location based salaries, to adjust for cost of living"

so, you pay disabled people more? "no" what about single parents? "also no" what about people who've paid off their mortgage, they get less, right? "as if"

ok, so you adjust the cost of living adjustments, right? "maybe we will. if it goes down"

"we just worked out the lowest we can pay people in any area and remain competitive"

it just feels more like location specific wage theft

“The #fediverse is like #email.”

Yes.

Now read this and understand it:

“I have been self-hosting my email since I got my first broadband connection at home in 1999 … But my emails are just not delivered anymore. I might as well not have an email server.

Email is now an oligopoly, a service gatekept by a few big companies which does not follow the principles of net neutrality … I lost. We lost. One cannot reliably deploy independent email servers.“

La mia idea è che l'organizzazione dei giovani in comunità libere e immuni dal virus della guerra, dell'odio e del militarismo non sia possibile oggi perché nei venti anni precedenti la cultura che si è affermata è quella della realpolitik nazionalista, una cultura che aiuta le mafie con il proibizionismo e i mercanti di armi col militarismo, mentre chiude gli occhi di fronte agli scenari di violenza che potrebbero essere risolte con le armi della cooperazione e un intervento civile non armato.
