Lemmy hasn't really expanded in it's content umbrella to the point where it can really fill the same gap. I've instead just spent more time on other apps and don't open Lemmy often.
When I do open it and sort by all it's usually the same kinds of topics on top, not simply reposts, but just really focused on metadiscussions about the viability of the fediverse. I'm not here to make a change, I'm just a consumer looking for mildly interesting distraction. The audience for discussions of the fediverse is incredibly small, while the audience for mild distraction is the majority of the internet.
Yeah, our company had hybrid available to everyone, so going remote was simply increasing the hybrid days to 100%. Our productivity skyrocketed because instead of having to waste 5-10 minutes per hour walking across a stupidly huge campus, or battling people for meeting rooms, we could just meet in virtual rooms, and instantly "teleport" to the next one. We had no commute, people would meet early or late, or during lunch.
Nobody asked us to work more but we did because we COULD. We were already fully aligned on hitting our goals, and being in the office was an obstacle rather than an aid. We're increasing our in-office days over the overwhelmingly negative feedback (why even ask for input if you're just going to ignore it?). I'll just have to mentally pull back on available bandwidth for the time wasted on in-office days, reject more meetings, and extend deadlines accordingly. I'll need to free up all that extra time for the small talk and "networking" they want me to do instead of working.
Yeah, when the court and the law lacks objectivity or ethics, this sort of thing happens. That's why a functional court and rule of law is needed to provide an orderly pressure release valve for accumulated injustices.
Seems like a good thing. Helps lead towards a more sympathetic and symbiotic relationship and a stepping stone to peaceful relations between the two countries. Anything that gets them further from a hostile invasion is a step in the right direction.
