I mean to be honest I wouldn’t say that we “die” at all when you sleep… your mind is extremely active while sleeping, it’s just disconnected from motor control.

Can confirm. Would probably be maining windows if the workspaces actually… functioned…

This is something that I feel like Brave New World got a lot more right. In that book, people’s pleasures are their prisons.

I agree. The way I worded my comment was very intentional to not bash conservatism. I don’t consider myself one but I thought OP’s question was pretty respectful and I do find it unfortunate that he doesn’t have a community on here that isn’t extremely radicalized.

Unfortunately most of the more “conservative” instances became highly toxic and so most other instances have defederated with them.

ohh yeah true, i’m just gullible :(

singular they

True enough, but we all have different skills, and if OP has android skills but not webdev skills, then they’d just be making they can make!

Why not?

I feel like this is well described lmao

It had taken me so many years to break my reddit addiction, then my friend introduced me to lemmy, and it’s been downhill ever since 🥲

Thank you for the insight, and please do

… aaand it started working for no reason again. I guess it just measures whether you want it bad enough.

Wow thank you so much for the insights and advice. This is exactly the kind of thing I was trying to find but didn’t have the knowledge to know what to search. I’ll look into these!

I’ve called them a few times but it’s been hard since their hours aren’t very long and I have a busy job. But to be honest I wasn’t banking on support since I haven’t ever had good tech support experience. Hearing that you’ve had a good experience, though, I think I’ll get in touch with them, thanks.

I mean, LibreOffice is usable, but if I could pay for a linux license of Word or Excel, I would pay for it. The UX is just so much better with feature search/animations/plugin support/etc.

Which, fair enough. It definitely was sarcastic, low-effort, and unlikely to generate conversation. But just say that instead of lecturing me about fallacies, you know? Lol

Holy god my bad

Edit: You know initially I agreed with you, then I realized that your suggested comment accomplishes essentially the same thing.

Anyone would be able to infer from my comment that I don’t support the way that billion dollar companies are allowed to abuse their workers. It implicitly supports the idea that they should not be allowed to. Your suggestion contributes about as much to the discussion as my comment does, and to say that they are meaningfully different implies that people can’t interpret sarcasm.

Both my comment and your suggestion are saying something obvious, but so is the article. That’s the joke.

Yeah, any time I see one of these “big ideas!” I’m super skeptical… our solutions aren’t going to be easy innovations. They’re going to be hard, boring fixes.

Absolutely shocking to me that a multi billion dollar company would abuse their workers
