As it should be. Hybrid is the correct answer. Not full time RTO, not full time at home, Hybrid. The negotiation is in how hybrid should look, and will vary from situation to situation

Almost all of them. Especially corporate customers on managed devices

I’m as pro *Nix as the next person, but be careful of viewing the world through rage coloured lenses. Just makes everything look like a red flag.

It’s possible that I’ve been lucky, and my experience of end users when it comes to Windows lately have been using it since Windows 10 which strongly pushed the Default Apps configuration vs previous versions. The world is a big place after all

Certainly wouldn’t hurt them, the fear of God never hurts an international company

What happened to "stoner" comedies?

Half-Baked. Happy Gilmore. Billy Madison. Grandma’s Boy. Dude, Where’s My Car? Where have the movies like this gone? Clerks 3 was, I think, the last good one I’ve ever seen (and even they got too real and too sad so I don’t even know if I ever want to see it again as a comedy). There’s gotta be some good, funny shit...

They still exist, but the comedians you’re nostalgic for doing them have gotten old now. And watching an old man trying to carry on like a teenager is more pathetic than funny.

Christopher Lloyd will always be the exception. I wouldn’t bat an eyelid at him playing any role

Anonymous users are dominating right-wing discussions online. They also spread false information (apnews.com)

The reposts and expressions of shock from public figures followed quickly after a user on the social platform X who uses a pseudonym claimed that a government website had revealed “skyrocketing” rates of voters registering without a photo ID in three states this year — two of them crucial to the presidential contest....

Exact same arguments are made to minimise right wing extremists, “has to be a left wing false flag”.

Both are possible. The enemy is extremism, regardless of leaning.

‘Romeo & Juliet’ Play Starring Tom Holland and Francesca Amewaduh-Rivers Faces ‘Barrage of Racial Abuse,’ Producer Says ‘This Must Stop’ (variety.com)

The Jamie Lloyd Company has hit back after its production of Shakespeare’s “Romeo & Juliet” has been the subject of what they call a “barrage of deplorable racial abuse” aimed at an unnamed cast member....

It’s been a lot of years since high school English, but Juliet Capulet was of the Italian family Capulet in the 1590s.

There is some detail in the references of the Capulet family to real world factions of the time. But both those arguing for and against this casting don’t care about any of that.

Exclusive: Tesla scraps low-cost car plans amid fierce Chinese EV competition (www.reuters.com)

The decision represents an abandonment of a longstanding goal that Tesla chief Elon Musk has often characterized as its primary mission: affordable electric cars for the masses. His first “master plan”, opens new tab for the company in 2006 called for manufacturing luxury models first, then using the profits to finance a...

And despite the Lemmy/Reddit circle jerk that “EVs are bad”, BYD pass the notoriously strict Australian safety standards and sell well here. The BYD Seal seems to be everywhere of late

Just recently finished rewatching House MD.

Hugh Laurie is ridiculously handsome. Olivia Wilde is beautiful beyond words.

And Jesse Spencer’s hair, by the gods.

All up, the show meandered and was formulaic (by design). Parts of it aged terribly, but was a good rewatch

As do a lot of Reddit and now Lemmy users it seems.

Virtual partners are indeed a thing.

One of the more popular ones a few months ago decided to nerf the sexy time talks, which was intersting in how much it emotionally hurt users. They described feeling like their virtual partner was no longer the same person that they’d fallen for. Source: www.abc.net.au/news/science/…/102028196

There are also huge fears of how much data harvesting they are capable of performing.

I’m in two minds. On one, they are definitley not real. They are code. But on the other, the epidemic of lonely human beings is only getting worse with time and not better, and anything that can help people feel less lonely has to be a good thing, right?

Oof, and the organiser of this stunt isn’t just doubling down, or tripling down, he’s quadrupling down on it.

What an idiotic hill to die on

Fighting the itch to replay again to replay Phantom Liberty? I am :(

It was jarring for me at first, but it grew on me very fast. Also, in my opinion, looks cleaner on dark mode

And it was a barebones alternative to Digg when the exodus did happen.

It grew, and it did good things. But yeah, Ozymandias happens again and again

How are newer cars (gas/hybrid) supposed to sound?

Context: I drive a 15+ year old SUV, and I am no longer in the position to just replace everything should anything bad happen. So sadly I will have to buy a newer car at some point. Hopefully not anytime soon 🤞🏼🤞🏼 But, I noticed when shopping with other people that newer cars sound weird. My knowledge of car...

Sadly, a lot of pedestrians are stupid. I’ve watched them walking across a road, phone in hand, straight into an idling parked V6 with a hole in its exhaust, and still be confused.

Pedestrian warning systems are a good idea. But nature will always come up with a better idiot

Check out IKEA office chairs. Their display rooms let you sit in them. They’re a 10th of the price, so even if they only last half as long you’re still in front.

YMMV but I put I small cushion behind my lower back on an IKEA Markus and it’s been my favourite chair I’ve ever had

No, it’s necessary!

It’s an excellent video. The realtime feed made it look like everything was great, fully under control. This shows that it really wasn’t near the end, and it’s loss wasn’t truly “unexpected”
