Sure, but there’s not much they can do about it if things are properly encrypted, for example using DKE on M365.

Sounds like your issue is a shitty workplace and shitty managers more than it is not not working from home.

This is what I was thinking. I’m very lucky to live somewhere where I can live without a car - even here in Helsinki, that’s not always possible.

It’d be the equivalent to spending an extra 2-3 hours a day working (because that’s what the total commute would be), plus money on vehicle upkeep

Maybe this is one of the reasons I actually prefer going to the office. For me, it’s only 15 minutes by metro.

No additional cost, very little wasted/lost time, and I actually enjoy being able to draw a line between work and life by putting them in different physical spaces.

Perhaps it also helps that my managers encourage people to work from wherever they feel they’re the most productive. It’s nice to know that I have the option to work from home without having to explain myself.

Nope. There’s a reason they go after video games that use the red cross symbol for health packs, that dilutes the meaning of what the red cross stands for.

I think Apple users typically fall into one of a few different categories:

1. “I’m a creative/visionary”
2. “I don’t really understand computers”
3. “I need a native Unix command line”

Thanks for the link, but I already provided links to all three patents (confusingly, with the same names) that they were making claims on in my reply.

The thing about patents is that they are regularly granted for blindingly obvious processes that should never be patentable. It’s not just companies like Google that get screwed by this, it’s individual developers, FOSS projects… All sorts.

The patent system is fundamentally broken.

Google doesn’t need me to defend them, but the patents in question seem really generic and obvious…

Patent trolls aren’t the little guy, nor are they a good thing for the little guys out there.

I have a Withings ScanWatch. Almost all of that (except for custom watchfaces, because it uses a physical watchface).

It also does the heart tracking and ECG stuff, but that matters to me because I have a heart condition that it can help track.

This won’t do anything to cut any costs.

This is all about enshittifying the free experience to push those on the edge to finally bite the bullet and start paying.

Wow, if they haven’t already cleared this with the existing company or lawyers, this is embarrassing.

Wouldn’t you do a quick search as an early step in any branding exercise?

They’ll renegotiate, get some minor additional concessions and fall in line.

It depends on their aspirations.

Did they have too many engineers if all they wanted to do was keep the lights on for their core business? Yes.

Did they have too many engineers if they wanted to have the capacity to deliver more ambitious products and solutions, such as massively scalable live video streams, or social audio, or something entirely new? Maybe not.

Actually, you’re right, but it couldn’t be closer. The show starts at 5:02AM on his fiftieth birthday.

The lack of content is a double edged sword, though.

Sure, I can’t scroll endlessly, but then again, I can’t scroll endlessly. I kind of like that there’s not always some new discussion to jump into.

Oh. I’ll be off then.😔

I think this is what other people have observed in that it currently still works when you’re not signed in. I’m sure reddit will “fix” this soon, assuming they want to stop people scraping data using the API.

I wonder if it would be possible to create an explicitly ad-supported instance of Lemmy that would insert unobtrusive ads into its feeds.

I do think there could be an audience for that if it meant the instance was reliable, performant and well moderated.

When you say karma, do you mean having visible post/comment scores or visible total user scores - or both?

I can see the argument against visible post scores as it can lead to dogpiling, but I do think it can provide a valuable indication for what the community consensus is around that post.

Regarding total user scores, I don’t see the harm at all.

Personally, I quite liked the feedback karma gave on Reddit.
