    Right, I haven't seen any of them say they are doing away with SMS. Even Android who has RCS in place also has SMS along side it, RCS is just an enhancement.

    Even with RCS on both major platforms in the near future, a lot of automations and companies will continue to utilize SMS, and I'd bet that's true for a long time.

    1. Most Android phones use RCS, so it's on-subject here since most of us don't pay attention to iPhone news - and is welcomed news because of #2's answer

    2. You ever been in a low or no signal area, but have wifi, and try to text an iPhone user? Ever try to send/receive photos/videos with an iPhone and they look like garbage? Tired of getting SMS's in group chats of "Mom loved 'Please poop in the toilet next time, we are tired of cleaning it up'" instead of it just "hearting" the SMS message? A lot of new tech coming out today started from something that "was good" and was built on to make it better.

    Strengthening Community Bonds: business@lemmy.world

    Greetings everyone, We wanted to take a moment and let everyone know about the !business@lemmy.world community on Lemmy.World which hasn't gained much traction. Additionally, we've noticed occasional complaints about Business-related news being posted in the Technology community. To address this, we want to encourage our community members to engage with the Business community. While we'll still permit Technology-related business news here, unless it becomes overly repetitive, we kindly ask that you consider cross-posting such content to the Business community. This will help foster a more focused discussion environment in both communities. We've interacted with the mod team of the Business community, and they seem like a dedicated and welcoming group, much like the rest of us here on Lemmy. If you're interested, we encourage you to check out their community and show them some support! Let's continue to build a thriving and inclusive ecosystem across all our communities on Lemmy.World!

    Just to be transparent, I'm the mod who removed your posts.

    We get a lot of rule breaking posts between the multiple communities I moderate, some of them get upvoted heavily and still get removed.

    For example, someone posted a scientific post that had nothing to do with technology in /c/Technology@lemmy.world, it had a decent amount of upvotes and comments. It was still removed for rule 2 of that community, as it was off topic for that community and there are ones that exists for that content.

    Sorry that it upset you, but if I could give you advise: just follow the community rules and you won't have these issues

    Oh gotcha, it is unfortunate non-mods/non-admins are not able to see in the mod logs for who is doing what on LW. If you were able to though, you would see Enu and myself are very active, even though we are not commenting or posting. Same for report resolutions, we get a good amount of reports (false and positive) that we have to weed through throughout the day, those are not publicly viewable (and shouldn't be).

    But that is what I did not get, in the mod logs you can see the community is being actively moderated even though you can't see who is doing what.

    Edit:

    enu is the only inactive mod I found.

    Also, I'd like to apologize for misreading the above. Initially I thought this said "is the only active mod". Enu has multiple accounts, which would make sense on why you'd think they're inactive

    @L4s@lemmy.world'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 @krayj@lemmy.world!

  • L3s L3s 1 year ago 100%

    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, 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

    O365 Email Encryption

    My company is just starting to utilize O365 email encryption for sensitive information, which I know a lot of people are already using. One thing we've run into is when sending a sensitive email to a third-party vendor, a lot of them utilize shared mailboxes/distribution groups, so the encryption is not allowing the members of the external mailbox/group to open the encrypted email as their account doesn't have permissions (the group email address does, instead of their individual account). The only way I've come up with to solve this issue is setting the encrypted emails to not allow a "social" sign-on for decryption, and instead only offer "send a one-time passcode" as the authentication method, then the group/mailbox receives the code to view the email. Curious how others have combatted this issue if they've crossed it, this feature has been around a while and I am unable to find much on Google about it specifically. For the moment, users are just re-sending the encrypted email to the external recipient that replies "We can't open this email", which solves the problem but creates more work and takes longer for everyone.
