What makes you think this? I haven't observed any advantages to an office beyond overexposing the company to real estate (not really an advantage) - there is nothing I could do in person that I haven't been able to do faster in MS

The average Twitter user likely does not know what a file is (see: that one iPad commercial where the kid says "what's a file?" or something), and likely uses a mobile device of some kind (tablet or phone) as their daily driv

Mastodon is a bunch of separate federated Mastodon instances. In order to see content from several you need to connect to each of them (if memory serves, your identity and social graph are not portable between instances due to the limitatio

The technical barrier to entry ensures "normies" will not be able to use or understand (or at least enjoy) Mastodon. This will prevent it from becoming as huge as Twitter

The more you measure productivity, the less productivity there will be. Employees spend a good amount of time documenting their productivity for nonsense like performance reviews, and that is a lot of time that could have been spent doing a

This is how it should be. "Daily status updates" regarding what you're working on are useless. It should be a short message or email containing roadblocks or small updates to let others know you unblocked them that is sent to

Interesting! Looking forward to trying it out. I won't consider paying for it until it's at least FOSS though, like IntelliJ or PyCharm. I paid for those 2 products and those 2 products alone solely because they are free and open

Just set up an email service and everything and start offering similiarities to Google's web ecosystem already. Mozilla doesn't need to worry about devices or a cloud division, or even a search engine (yet? Brave has one). The slo

No, because with schizophrenia things that should have no salience whatsoever become very salient to you. I.e. scales all being rectangular (thus making the diet industry run by a bunch of Pythagorean rectangle-worshipping cultists) or some
