Yeah it's pretty but have you ever seen a Walmart parking lot 🤩🤩🤩

Hard to believe but the 40hr week is an improvement

We went relatively quickly from 12h day to 10h and then 8h. And we stopped there for no reason.

Worse, they normalised 2 adults per household working 8 hours per day.

It is pretty sad that we haven't had any progress in 100 years despite all the technological marvels.

I hope we do. I started working for myself and I've only got my tools on maybe 30hrs a week now, it's pretty great. Most days I can put in a solid 5 or 6 hours and be good. I want that for everyone.

While scenery like this is nice for hiking, try making a living there.

There's probably fish, game, and foraging available. But, yeah, that's probably more surviving than living.

I hate that often Microsoft Teams is the only piece of software I can get to work for sharing a screen with the layman. Many cross-platform user-friendly options don’t work reliably on Linux, but by some weird twist of fate, I get it to work more often than anything else.

Yes, for an IT person’s own solution, you’d just use a VPN or something, but I’m rarely working with people that are technical enough for this.

No, and I don't think I'd ever ask anyone to try 'Jitsi'.
