Love this:

Re:Charlie Kirk shot at event in Utah on Wednesday September 10, 2025 @04:03PM (#45202846)
I'm sad that this is happening, people shooting people, especially people who talk their mind, I hope others don't get afraid and feel like they shouldn't talk openly and publicly because of this event and of course the pain this caused so many people who loved him and the anger that will surely follow from his followers. This is definitely not the way to go and I condem it.

That said I did not like the guy one bit and I'm disgusted by his discriminatory behavior towards so many people, his influence on so many people and him being the reason to continues discrimination and the spread of hate.

I wonder if now that he's gone much less of this hate exists, because I do think that this individual was a huge voice and it is a loss to the conservative community, which means much less people will be influenced and much less hate will be spread...

Just an honest observation, I don't mean to make anyone angry and I'm sorry if this comment did

You probably just need to change the settings to battery saver - no restrictions for Element. Your OS is probably killing the app aggressively (I've seen this with telegram a lot as well with many people).
Couldn't agree more

Re:Ask HN: How can a junior dev maximize their income? on Thursday June 08, 2023 @11:36AM (#36243671)
As a junior developer myself, asking a similar question, I will try sharing some of my thoughts and why I think this way.

Key points:

1. Search for jobs with high salaries.

2. Move to Switzerland.

I haven't seen anything consistent yet when it comes to how high your salary is based on what programming language you know. What I did notice, like many people wrote already that you can hop between jobs and that way get a higher salary, I think that's not entirely true, you could probably pull it off without hoping between jobs but just look for jobs with a high salary, always higher depending on how high the salary of the job was where you were successful before in getting an offer. If needed you could probably also lie about how much you earn now just to see if anyone is willing to pay more.

Regarding the second point, I think it's incredible how high the salaries are in Switzerland same as the US but the market is not competitive at all and basically any idiot (me) can get a really good salary by just going through enough interviews. I can't even imagine how high you can go if you're actually like really good.

I personally started (only 3 years ago) with 72k a year (franks/dollars/euros it's basically all the same) then I went up to 78k and towards the end of 2022 I jumped up to 115k in less than a few months only by consistently taking interviews with higher salary expectations. A good way to get started is by sending a contact request to all the recruiters on my LinkedIn page and they will take it from there and bombard you with offers...I even tried optimizing the process by sending the recruiters this: https://chagai.website/notes/recruiters
