  • You’d be surprised how much people actually just don’t care how their work computers are monitored nowadays. We disclose everything, even showed our monitoring tool to employees, and they just don’t care. I guess people know by now that personal stuff should be handled on personal devices, such as phones, tablets and computers. And the things they use their work computers for, they don’t care if we’re looking at it or not,

    Funny enough, we never used those tools working in the office, even though they would work. But the fact that people are inside a controlled environment makes companies more lenient about IT security, funny enough. Having a badge seems to make computer monitoring tools redundant (even though they aren’t, of course).

    But again, I do think this “back to work” movement has more to do with financial losses in real estate than real team work or control over the team. To some degree, banks, insurers and funds own us all.







  • Wife and I had two shots, two boosters, caught Covid in February, and we’re both still dealing with long Covid symptoms, aside from the fact that being sick itself was a nightmare.

    This disease is a freaking lottery, you’ll never know how you’ll react until you catch it. My aunt and uncle are still somewhat recluse, because neither can take the shots. Really sucks for immunosuppressed people.



  • Yep. But here is the snag: even though regular users generate traffic, power users (such as mods, people who want to have a better user experience through third party apps, people who engage in fights about usability) are those who generate and moderate content.

    So driving them away will drive revenue away in short, medium and long term.

    Tons of marketing sites have already recommended advertisers to stop advertising on Reddit, at least until this whole thing has settled.

    The best part is the Spez guy never thought open source alternatives already existed, so he will actually speed up the end of his platform. I would bet that there won’t be an IPO any time soon, and the Spez guy is the main culprit.
