I mean, that occurs anytime these labor changes happen in general. Anytime they can appear to align themselves with workers while actually furthering their own ends, they will. Doesn't mean that advocating for blue collar workers is wr

You may be right, but I think you can have those examinations and comparisons without necessarily falling into complacency. I think that only happens if the forces driving you are mostly external.

Agree and agree. My point was more just being aware of how we sound to others who don't even have the opportunity we have. But maybe our vocal opposition can inspire them. I don't know. This is a very emotionally charged subject a

So serious question: what are those lower-status jobs that could be done from home but aren't allowed? How can we help advocate for them alongside ourselves?

I think the thing I'm being accused of over and over here by people is that I'm pro-management and anti-labor. I'm not. I have repeatedly and continue to voice my opposition to RTO specifically, even directly to the VP. I can

I also agree with this. They should have to fly commercial like the rest of us, but I can't control what they do.

Most of my siblings are blue collar workers. I'm one of two technology workers in my family, and I'm just a lowly Sysadmin. So I've always been concerned for them. But I understand your point.

Very well put, and yes, again: Not advocating against WFH, just trying to be aware that as we are fighting for it, there are those who will never have it.

I'm sorry, it sounds like you had a really negative childhood, at least in regards to your relationships with some of your peers. I would argue that you, as the intellectual elite, are only leaning into and confirming their bias, and t

I'm not saying accept it. I am a vocal critic of the RTO policy at my work and have been for years. But keeping context and perspective is important. Even in your example, it would do the security guard some good to take a moment and b

I'm in the Atlanta area, so that's mid to high for a smallish house, yeah. Or at least it was. Prices have short through the stratosphere recently. There are tiny little condos being built next to my office in northeast ATL that a

I agree, and I've argued vocally against RTO from my privileged position because I have that value that makes me hard to replace. I just want to make sure that we're not forgetting the people who weren't able to become high-l

The thing I keep coming back to here is how we all must sound to the janitors, security guards, baristas, etc, who can't ever work from home. I understand that most of us worked our asses off to get to a skilled position and that in ma

I guess the question is: Can it be rebuilt somewhere else as an open source tool? Maybe this should be Duckduckgo's next big reveal? Drop the AI stuff and go hard on academic papers?

I think that's all based on advertising dollars. One of the nice things about Openstreetmap is that it doesn't do that weird behind the scenes manipulation.

Isn't the big problem here actual age verification? When I was a preteen, I'd lie on every site and say I was 18. I guess this is just offloading the liability and responsibility.

Yes, Google deserves to be distrusted and avoided as a whole, but Google Scholar is a genuinely net good for humanity.

Yeah, it feels like value wasn't actually lost here unless the ticketing system can't cancel tickets for the event after the fact, or the customer invalidated the charge after the event. If you can invalidate the tickets, then it&

I'm not against this in principle, but it worries me that they are focused on video calls and continuing to bring new features. Eventually they may hit a point where they are as bloated as other major apps and have to either sell out o

My lunch is almost always homemade tabbouleh with canned tuna and hot sauce, so not sure that's the cause, but I appreciate the tip!

On the one hand, I would be very surprised if this sort of dashboard metric didn't already exist in some enterprise software somewhere. My management at a previous company literally asked me if we could do a daily report on who sent an

So if I'm understanding this correctly, there are three reasons for the bump in sales: 1) People can't afford the treats they otherwise would be buying, so they're getting the cheaper option of a $2 one liter. 2) People are

Replaceable and externally rechargeable batteries were my go-to for wireless mice. Replace the batteries with charged ones, and put the old ones on the charger.

Does it not warn you of low battery? I would think with them being one ecosystem, it could both flash a light on the mouse and warn you on the desktop.

I've never been an Apple user, so I haven't dealt with this from the consumer side, but this still makes sense to me. Constantly moving around and tugging on the charging port seems like asking for a port replacement in a year. Is
