Bro I grew up watching Matilda and Alex Mack so yeah but also nah

is gnome meant to be read as ‘genome’?

If we’re being pedantic, yes 🙂

I am not a programmer by any means but I know enough to know they did their research.

Except Tyrell called it “nome” instead of “g’nome” and I’m pretty sure TOR exit nodes can only see unencrypted data and the entry node can only see who sent it.

It really depends on the vehicle. The fastest ones (Kia/Hyundai) will charge 10-80% in ~18 minutes (350kW max). Something like a Nissan Leaf can take an hour or more.

Those devices are very slow at transferring heat, unlike the microwave.

I use both.

Bluetooth can be convenient but also can be the opposite. On long travel days I don’t want to have to worry about battery life, and I always inevitably run into issues with cutting in and out, which I find extremely annoying

Bluetooth headphones have come a long way

What advancements have been made since Apple removed the headphone jack?

Sorry, no VPN voting allowed

LOL this is not at all about me “blowing steam” and 100% about you conjuring up a wild conspiracy theory because you can’t accept a reality that you don’t like.

Business by definition does what they need to do to reduce cost

Your have this insane idea that the whole country is one big “business”.

Who said anything about Facebook?

Facebook is a business that doesn’t give a single shit about real estate, because they’re not in the business of real estate, and yet they’re bringing their workers back to the office.

Most companies in the world are not tech or even oil and gas either and you can’t deny the impact of these industries.

No but those industries directly impact a wide variety of other industries. You don’t see employers demanding their employees drive around in circles to burn more gas because oil prices dip.

And like another poster said it’s not just real estate either.

What other poster?

Sectors like retail, services, transportation are also impacted by remote work culture

WTF is “remote work culture”? Why does Amazon give a shit about what Target is doing?

not to mention government revenue streams like property taxes.

Why would Facebook give a shit about how much money the government makes from property taxes?

It really just seems like you’re chalking all this up to some giant inter-corporate-government conspiracy, rather than the Occam’s Razor simple explanation of employees are just more productive in the workplace…

My point is the overwhelming majority of businesses in existence are not in the business of real estate so why would they give a shit if it’s impacted?

You wildly overestimate the influence of these companies.

That’s not the only real-estate game in the business… Think owners and landlords of the building who used to make a killing leasing these commercial spaces out

So…real estate companies? You realize there are other businesses with employees right?

You haven’t been blocking instances with Lemmy because that option doesn’t yet exist.

Again, yes, I have.

What do you mean? Are you saying that because you aren’t affected that no one can be?

…no. I said the opposite of that.

Voyager

Depends on your client

it’s not true at the instance level, for lemmy-- unless there’s a new option I didn’t see

I promise it is true. I’ve been doing it for months.

Second, having to block someone that suggests you should die for your skin color, after reading the comment, is not without harm.

Speak for yourself. Doesn’t harm me.

I prefer not to “get used to” a super slow service.

If you’re spending half your day doing that, it’s no surprise that you’d be less productive. Most people aren’t doing that. You’re projecting.

The war on remote work likely has nothing to do with productivity but all about preserving the commercial real-estate market

I mean…maybe if you work for a real estate company?
