I’m in a hardware rich business. It really helps to have the hardware in hand to physically try something before telling a customer it can be done.

Certain kinds of productivity, sure. And definitely on the scale of a civilization, reducing total commuters is fantastic both from and environmental and time-stuck-in-traffic perspectives.

I went through their site. It is entirely unclear from their short form license, faq, etc.
I always presume that, if something is free to the user, you are the product. Exceptions for open source projects, which pixabay doesn’t appear to be.

The real problem with work from home is a manager’s ability to track performance. It’s generally pretty easy to track things like output. But what if the goals are not just productivity. Sometimes, for the long term health of an organization, you need to have water cooler conversations, and other horizontal knowledge transfer opportunities that arise organically due to proximity. Friday beers often lead to longer term net positives.

A nihilistic outlook can be a response to, or defense mechanism caused by depression. But it’s also a philosophy that is, ironically, well studied and developed. Not that that matters.
TechnologyHypothetically: Lemmy instances where every user has to have physically met an admin and proved that they’re real or something. And they’ll only federate to other instances following the same rules.
It’ll almost be like the early 90s dialup BBS small communities, with FIDOnet ;)
The end of the anonymous web is nigh. We may not like it, but it’s probably the only way. We used to joke in the 90s about requiring an internet driver’s license before allowing people on Usenet. It might actually be happening.
Ask LemmyJustifying. Basically you already have a behaviour in mind, but you need an excuse to execute on that behaviour.
It can also be retroactive. You can create an excuse for your behaviour after you’ve already done something – retroactive justification.

He’ll be bored. Then he’s dismantle it and keep the $1B ransom he got from each dictator to be a member, and claim it achieved all if its goals.
Instability in a neighbour is the perfect excuse for a fascist expansionist “intervention”. Ugh. Not that I like the cartels or anything. Mexico is stuck between a rock and hard place here.

Went to a strip club once and the stripper was handing out fake $69 bills with her image on it and a link to her OnlyFans…
Definitely not in ziplock bags hidden in the nearest forest to the school, put there by your older brother…
You might need help. If you’re unwilling to seek help, then at least learn to code and, you know, read the code.
