There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social fella is speaking my language over here

Interviewer: In New York.

Mamdani: In New York. I say these things because sometimes it’s tempting to think that all that is wrong in this moment is from Donald Trump. But it’s important that the very same people that we have villainized and thought of solely through the prism of Trump existed prior to him. And in fact, were some of the very people that were uplifted by these kinds of leaders from the Democratic Party. If you want to understand why so many have come to associate politics with an extended play of diminishing faith and trust, then we also have to understand who the politicians have been that have been leading these very parties, and that many of these issues are not exclusive to the Republican Party. They are in fact endemic within our own party.

Interviewer: Right.

Mamdani: And if we want to truly move beyond Donald Trump, we also have to understand the systems that allowed for the flourishing of someone like Donald Trump, and that many of those systems and styles of politics are also within our own party. And Andrew Cuomo being an example of the fusion of these things.

The reasons I haven't switched are Ableton Live, good non-gaming HDR support and how I can use my stream deck to switch from 2 monitors + audio interface to tv + tv audio in the press of a button. Otherwise I'd be rocking Mint or Ubuntu.

If I may be so bold, a lot of journalistic shortcomings tend to stem from everyone being in the same office, in the same cities. a very fixable problem.

Never be in a position where you regret how much extra work you put in after you get fired.

They're paying you the least they think they can to keep you, you should be delivering the least you can to stay.
