I think the real reason managers want people back in the office is because they know most workers are not self motivated. They know the work is really boring, and they know that employees feel that way too. Not many people have their life m

I think people need to wise up extreamly quickly to what we are facing here. I cannot overstate the importance of being extreamly sceptical of the motives of tech giants at this point in time.

People keep trading away privacy for convenience. We won't have any privacy left if we continue to go down that road. People need to start looking at these tech giants with extreme scepticism. Like we do if companies are from China. We

You know WhatsApp is Facebook right? I don't think there is a worse company to trust except maybe Google. :)

That attitude will lead to you being a slave for Apple or Microsoft or Google for your entire life. They won't change their ways. You won't have privacy there.

> You can change it in the UEFI so that Fn acts as Ctrl and vice versa. First thing I do on every thinkpad. It would be very interesting to know what percentage of customers actually wants that Fn key in that location instead of Ctrl.

I don't understand this attitude. Should they just go to McDonald's, or...?

I'm sorry but come on. The writing has been on the wall for decades now. If you run Windows on your computer, it's not your computer, and you have to comply with whatever Microsoft says or does. I haven't had Windows on my co

The Netflix documentary about Bill Gates... Watch that. It's a very fine piece of propaganda and what makes it work. Excellent study material if you are interested in what makes people believe something.

You are allowed but there is a reason old people are not very angry anymore. They have learned to be humble though life, realizing people tend to do their best. If someone is not performing at work, it's usually because of motivation,

Anger is the ego being upset that people and the world didn't do what you expected. It's natural, but it's absolutely not a good leadership quality to be angry.

This may sound a bit weird but haven't you noticed they all are psychopaths? Although high functioning ones. Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezoz... These are not healthy people mentally. But they are rich and powerful.

Usually companies don't increase pay when you switch internally so the only reason to do that would be because you love the workplace so much that you don't care if you get payed much more somewhere else.

Hmm. Every company I've been where they had internal kubernetes, it was a complete mess and constant production issues.

> restarts their machine on a whim for updates That's the thing, it's not their machine if they are running Windows on it. It's Microsofts. They can even wake up your machine to apply updates whenever they want.

It's so stupid, all of it. They try to come up with random questions that doesn't mean anything if the candidate remembers the answer at that point in time. I've read about Linux inodes. I know what they do. In fact I even ha

Thanks for clearing that up. I agree that it would be great if we wouldn't fight eachother over this. It just feels extreamly invasive to have someone support the government forcing chemicals into people's bodies. That's a ho

For me it'd not about partying. It's about keeping my body healthy and not injecting it with chemicals and risking long term damage for the rest of my life. I don't believe the vaccine is better than my natural antibodies at

Covid non-compliers.... If you are going to force vaccinate the entire planet with an experimental vaccine, against people's will, you bet that people will not comply. They shouldn't. Go read r/CovidVaccinated for hundreds, i

I think tech attracts a certain type of person... People with high iq but very low scores in compassion and care.

People started noticing during covid but it's been going on for a very long time. I think it's awesome to see so many people realize this now though. We need that to happen.

Hmm. That argument seems to be that instead of making tech fun to work in, we should make sure there are no other options so people have to work there.

Salaries may be lower but work/life balance seems much higher in Europe.
