This is the fallout from the technology industry shrinking and coming to terms with itself. See the crash of the Silicon Bank recently as an example. Basically as the positive outlook toward these kind of businesses and pursuits continues to mellow out we’ll see these companies look inward to squeeze as much money out of their products as possible.

Sweet, like 30 years to late and for a dying industry.

Super cool and great find. I always wanted one of these

Totally agree on 8 and even 11 appears to be busy despite their intent for the contrary. That being said I feel like 10 will go down in history with XP and 7 as being simple and usable. I could have blinders on though because I’ve been using it for like a decade now.

Not an argument for returning to office but rather pointing out the lack of boundaries that can come with it

Corporate jargon has infected my brain

Yeah totally agree and I also work from home and won’t go back.

It’s just that the other side of the coin for me has been a lack of boundaries when for all intents and purposes we should all be working less.

Feels like 3 things in our current discourse:

• No feeling of making a difference with your work (pointlessness)
• Disingenuous workplace cultures (wE’Re a fAmiLy)
• Extremely long work hours (WFH is great but “always connected” means you’re always working)

The reality is that there was/is no reddit alternative and right now we’re all in this transitory phase where we’re all looking for a new home. We’ll all just have to wait for the dust to settle. Lemmy isn’t perfect but is improving and additionally other alternatives like kbin and tildes are in the works.

To your larger point, much of what you’re feeling is the abrupt break in habits. I’ve been using the gap to develop more positives ones, and it’s been great.
