  • Reducing the time spent at work (insane in South Korea, more than 65 hours per week in many cases) seem not a problem for them. Also doesn,t seem to be a problem the insane cost in extra curricular classes children attend to there, a country where the majority of the children have to bear mad timetables, with classes even finishing at 10PM at night. But again, women are to blame. And the solution is putting more pressure on them. Right. They are going to be very pleased with this, eager to have 6 children each and to spent a lot of his time like this. Sure.





    • Left Reddit for Lemmy, only came back several times to seek for specific information in a couple of niche communities
    • Started using Firefox again, both in desktop and mobile
    • Opened a nextcloud account, with plans to host our own when we have a little more free time
    • Autohosted FreshRSS
    • Started with Sonarr, Radarr, jellyfin and so on (you can guess what for)
    • Mastodon is now my main social network
    • Stopped using Windows. If I have to use some applications to interact with my clients I prefer to do it via cloud.

  • I use it. When I changed my smartphone and my tablet I searched for models with headphones jack. I have a pair of wireles headphones but the sound they produce is terrible, and besides they need to be recharged, so you can find yourself with no battery on them on the middle of a commute, trip or whatever place. I have two pair of JBL cable headphones that costed 10 euros each (way cheaper than the wireless), sound is perfect, never run out of “battery”… Why would I prefer more expensive ones with poor sound quality and ones that I don’t know if they are going to be able to be in use for the time I need them???




  • I have worked as a freelance for around 14 years, from home. My husband, a developer, always had told me that he couldn,t work without his colleagues around. Then the pandemic come and he had to work from home for more than two years. He loved it. No distractions, no commuting (I think that is the worst), better environment to concentrate in silence…he didn,t want to go back to an office. Like never ever.

    But then the company he worked for said that everybody had to go back to the office because that is what’s the company wanted. My husband and the rest of his department got very angry. In three months, all the 10 people in it had gone to other remote works. The day my husband said he was leaving in three weeks was the last day of his immediate boss. So he gave notice to a higher boss, that had a big tantrum because he thought it was a workers plot.

    It wasn,t, but seems that nobody has to be forced into the office if they can do better work elsewhere. Because they leave if they can. As a consequence they lost all their senior developers and two middle managers.y husband now os happy, works from home and travels to the office for meetings and things like that a two or three days every three months. He works for a big international company with people in remote in several countries. His prior company is struggling really hard to finde people to work for them. It is up to them: expert people on remote or junior people wanting experience to go remote later on other job.
