Yes, twice a couple of years ago. I also have been to other cities but several years ago and I thought maybe it was a recent popular thing. And yes, nearly all the way from the airport to the hotel the roads were flanked with that kind of billboards.

Spain here, and both were turned on by default. Had to deactivate.

Many things. To say some…Billboards with lawyers advertising for things like demands after accidents. Like dozens one after another on the road.

So much sugar in everything. Last time I was there had to throw to the bin a yogurt. Was so sweet It was awful. Prices of “fresh” food.

Tips for everything. Going to a restaurant and have to tip like 20% of the bill, or even more, is crazy.

Wáter consumtion. Like big golf camps completely green in the middle of a desert (Vegas). When asked about It, people there just answered “no problem, we have the Hoover Dam for that”.

Lack of public transport outside four or five big cities. And that just walking on the streets in some places is very strange fot the people living there. I was asked ten years ago in Palo Alto if I was Russian because I was not driving, just walking on the street!!

Firefox with a couple of extensions. But i have to use chrome with some webs (mainly from the town council, and several official institutions) because don’t work properly with Firefox.

Sorry not sorry. Found another company that does not need to rob people and other companies to make money. Also: breaking the law should make this kind of people face grim consequences. But nothing will happen.

Reducing the time spent at work (insane in South Korea, more than 65 hours per week in many cases) seem not a problem for them. Also doesn,t seem to be a problem the insane cost in extra curricular classes children attend to there, a country where the majority of the children have to bear mad timetables, with classes even finishing at 10PM at night. But again, women are to blame. And the solution is putting more pressure on them. Right. They are going to be very pleased with this, eager to have 6 children each and to spent a lot of his time like this. Sure.

Sumar is a mix of several parties, a coalition. Also, the first of the list is an independent person. Not all the parties compounding Sumar are integrated in the left or the greens. The first of the list, the independent one, will go to the left. Second and third on the list, will go to the greens, and the fourth one, from a party that is not integrated in the greens but in the left, will go to the left if elected. That is because Sumar is a coalition, several groups and parties got together for the elections. Representatives from each party can choose where group to go.

Ok, we are not coming back anyway

Another arrival due to APIpocalypse and the enshittification process that Spez started with Reddit.

You can show the also the other UIs for the web. Photon is quite decent, the default is not very attractive as you say.

Everything seems to be fine: I had to reload in all the apps and on the desktop. Just a thing, when using the phothon UI I had to manually delete my old session and open a new one with my account, because when I log on again there were two sessions for my account.

Brother. Mine, a laser monochrome, is 12 years old and works perfectly fine

• Left Reddit for Lemmy, only came back several times to seek for specific information in a couple of niche communities
• Started using Firefox again, both in desktop and mobile
• Opened a nextcloud account, with plans to host our own when we have a little more free time
• Autohosted FreshRSS
• Started with Sonarr, Radarr, jellyfin and so on (you can guess what for)
• Mastodon is now my main social network
• Stopped using Windows. If I have to use some applications to interact with my clients I prefer to do it via cloud.

I use it. When I changed my smartphone and my tablet I searched for models with headphones jack. I have a pair of wireles headphones but the sound they produce is terrible, and besides they need to be recharged, so you can find yourself with no battery on them on the middle of a commute, trip or whatever place. I have two pair of JBL cable headphones that costed 10 euros each (way cheaper than the wireless), sound is perfect, never run out of “battery”… Why would I prefer more expensive ones with poor sound quality and ones that I don’t know if they are going to be able to be in use for the time I need them???

Commute is part of the work day, but unpaid. In fact, avoiding commutes in big cities are one of the main advantages of remote work. In some cases, it is nearly, or even more, two hours back and forth an office or a plant. If people could go to the irs jobs just with a 15-20 minutes walk, it would be a very different issue, but mainly is an hour of traffice jams or packed metros and buses.

If commute should was part of the daily hours, we would see employers preoccupied because there would be people working 6 hours or less in the office or the plant, so they would ask for better transit systems and more affordable housing that implied nota having to go to live 40-50 km away because prices are unpayable nearer. Many of them would allow remote work more easily.

This has to end, somehow. Or pretty soon we will have shoes with soles subscription: you want a proper shoe, you will have to pay a monthly quota.

Who does Spez think he is?? The king of the world? I can’t believe the things he says and does.

I have worked as a freelance for around 14 years, from home. My husband, a developer, always had told me that he couldn,t work without his colleagues around. Then the pandemic come and he had to work from home for more than two years. He loved it. No distractions, no commuting (I think that is the worst), better environment to concentrate in silence…he didn,t want to go back to an office. Like never ever.

But then the company he worked for said that everybody had to go back to the office because that is what’s the company wanted. My husband and the rest of his department got very angry. In three months, all the 10 people in it had gone to other remote works. The day my husband said he was leaving in three weeks was the last day of his immediate boss. So he gave notice to a higher boss, that had a big tantrum because he thought it was a workers plot.

It wasn,t, but seems that nobody has to be forced into the office if they can do better work elsewhere. Because they leave if they can. As a consequence they lost all their senior developers and two middle managers.y husband now os happy, works from home and travels to the office for meetings and things like that a two or three days every three months. He works for a big international company with people in remote in several countries. His prior company is struggling really hard to finde people to work for them. It is up to them: expert people on remote or junior people wanting experience to go remote later on other job.
