What's a company secret you can share now that you no longer work there?

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

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

Under capitalism
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.

joining the fediverse to bitch about reddit is the same as going on a date, and spending the whole night talking about your ex
Sure, yeah, but you have to talk about your ex for a while to process and get over them.

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

Reddit's API protest just got even more NSFW

Sadly they’ll still get rich as shit if valuation drops a lot so there isn’t much incentive to treat the community better.

Reddit users lost?
Reply in thread
Power users are the ones who build value on reddit, so with their loss the standard users will get less out of reddit over time and likely use it less.

Reddit slowly became filled with hate
I had to start sorting by controversial to find comments of interest in many threads since most the conversation was so generic and sanctimonious. That’s a big part of why this is a digg moment for me with reddit.

Jamie Dimon says employees can go work somewhere else if they don't like long commutes into the office, thinks remote work doesn't cut it
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.

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.

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

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

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.

Tesla founders

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.

It’s part of the US right wing identity to be against anything that might reduce the risk of climate catastrophe. That is hilarious about your electric mower! Same experience with right wingers shitting on EVs, though they softened a bit since Elon blew up Twitter.

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.
