Haha it's so ridiculous that these articles never take into consideration that people in the office don't have a lot of productive time.

I had the same, I would have a somewhat easy first hour, then spend 2 to 3 hours really focusing and then I'd basically be done for the day and would spend some time idling after lunch until I deemed it was an appropriate time to leave and "work some more from home".

My best year billability wise was the first year of the covid lockdowns, I managed to generate something like 25% more just because of being able to work from home and cutting back on the travel time to customers and being able to multi-task occasionally when I had a quiet day for a customer. I'm glad I live in the Netherlands, hybrid/remote working seems like it'll remain over here at least.

I can see the benefits of AI in certain fields of work but why would you want it to take over in the creative industry? Isn't tapping into your own creativity the fun part?

There's nothing left to blast in ol' Mitch, he's already been running on fumes for way too long.

My GF asked me to come to it ends with us with her. I didn't see any trailer or read anything about it so I assumed it was a romcom or something, boy was I wrong...

The plot was quite gripping though and Blake Lively and the cast were really good in it. I'd definitely recommend watching it but keep in mind that it's a pretty intense movie with lots of dark content in it.

Speaking as a Dutch person, ebikes are a very nice solution for a lot of your shorter trips. I personally don't have one (I mostly take public transport to work and besides that my regular bike suffices) but I can see that ebikes are becoming more and more regular around here. It'd be cool to also see them more abroad in other countries.

As an outsider I honestly just don't get what people see in this idiot. How can you take someone that talk like that seriously? He sounds like a nutter that is promising crazy stuff that would literally mean the end of the USA as we know it.

If he'd get his way with this and the other project 2025 stuff it'd honestly be the end of America I think.

I wonder how the Trump fanboys are going to spin this advantagous decision as if the government is out to get him.

I'm still happy that I went through the effort to delete all my old posts when I left Reddit a while back. I periodically check if they've restored them and luckily it hasn't happened so far. I do miss some of the bigger communities but overall I'm having a good time on Lemmy.

That's what they did in my country when a bunch of the big banks almost keeled over in 2008/2009. They were temporarily (partly) owned by the state and eventually bought back their rights to operate as a separate business when things were going better again.

You forgot the 100 browser tabs as well. They have it get so bad that it no longer says a number, just a smiley.

I agree, I watched one about the Netherlands a while back and it was pretty trash. They're fun videos for entertainment purposes but definitely not correct.

I quite liked the idea of Movember when I was younger, it seemed like a neat idea to grow a mustache over the month with some of your homies.

Nowadays I have a beard thanks to the lockdowns and the reduced shame of it looking weird at the start so no need for Movember anymore.
