I think that’s ok? People are in different offices, but as long as you can also work with the local people…

I’m a fan of hybrid, with like 4/5 days at home, assuming people aren’t heavily distracted at home.

Ouch, yeah that defeats the purpose

Do people meet in meeting rooms as well or it’s all just Zoom?

There’s more nuance to what he said if people take time to read the article. I’m a huge fan of working from home, but it has drawbacks. One that Jamie notes is that a lack of office environment is terrible for someone starting their career, which is true.

Yeah, agreed. I don’t think purism in either direction is great. To me well regulated capitalism with strong unions seems like a good balance.

Actually from people who lived through it in the eastern bloc… the propaganda was mostly right.

The Other Two! A great comedy about a family where the youngest brother gets famous. Seasons one and two were good and three was great. Sadly the show ended there, but it ended well.

The writing and cast are great, though for me, the daughter Brooke (Helene York) stole the show. I’m definitely going to see what else she’s been in since her physical comedy and delivery are top notch.

The middle part dragged but the beginning and end were great! I’d probably skip about three episodes if I were watching it again.

Relatively speaking, I’d say yes.

The communist systems I’m aware of have failed hard on these due to not having built in outlets for negative human characteristics.

In theory, sure, but it’s a very brittle system if it requires true Democracy, which is pretty much fantasy.

Thanks for the thought provoking reply!

My impression is that all systems fail long term and need to break down and be renewed after crisis. Once it becomes entrenched, I think odds are heavily against being able to try social systems.

Have you seen a system like you describe, where a structure to continue change and experimentation is built in? To me capitalism with strong controls seems the most stable and successful (assuming your benchmark is population qualify of life not just GDP), e.g. some European systems.

That’s cool to know! I had been wondering what happened with that historically bad launch.

You responded to the wrong comment, but i’ve been seeing that a lot so I wonder what causes it.

Pfew, well that actually makes sense and is efficient. Picking it up off the floor probably is not worth the bending over luckily.

Hah, is this contracting? And what is done vs agile?

Thank you for posting a nuanced comment on this topic.

Elon Musk strikes me a lot like Steve Jobs, a micromanager that is terrible to work for but gets shit done. Seeing him flail around with twitter definitely makes me question how he was successful with Tesla. He isn’t afraid to take risks, but I wonder what or who was able to counter balance him at Tesla to make that more successful. Maybe his ego was just not as big then.

I’m sad to see that group think is alive and well on lemmy, like on reddit, maybe even worse on some topics. On Elon Musk people just upvote hate and downvote anything that may even superficially seem counter to it. I wish downvoting was disabled so people can’t just mash it angrily but need to think more.

People write that lemmy is full of “tankies”, which seems at least partially true to me? So dishonest right wing rich people get extra hate? I’m trying to get a feel for the community and was hoping it would be less emotional and tribal.

It’s not a bug that capitalism is based on greed, it’s a feature. It works (relatively speaking) because it leverages humanity’s shittyness.

Communism has failed to operate without corruption or authoritarianism, because it depends on people actually giving a shit about each other long term.

Can use prowlarr or jackett for that as well, but takes more setup

People do nearly everything in self interest. They want something and they try to get it. There may be some secondary justification, but it boils down to that.
