This is very upsetting to me–more as a point of principle than in fact–but I appreciate that it doesn’t bother younger generations at all.
I am in a support group with over 100 senior citizens in it. Getting a file with a *.rtf extension used to be a thing, but it hasn’t been a thing in years. I do get *.doc and *.docx files so they’re probably getting lured into Office like you said even before Wordpad is removed.
That’s why downvote buttons exist?
No (and not downvoted) … it’s about controlling visibility.

My take: Upvote the stuff other people should see. Downvote the stuff that should have never been here at all. You don’t have to agree or disagree, you can even have no opinion. But if you find it worthwhile to others, upvote it. Detrimental, downvote it.

In 2023? 😞
A new study by human resources and payroll services platform Gusto Inc. shows smaller companies that have embraced remote work cite higher performance, better employee retention and strong corporate culture built on a foundation of flexibility. As small companies compete with deep-pocketed giants for talent, those gains could provide an edge.
“SMBs are increasingly looking to extend the flexibility that their workforce enjoys,” said Gusto Economist Liz Wilke. “Not only to attract them, but to keep them less stressed, more able to manage their lives, and to build a culture and a team that works for them.”
Companies that started in the past three years are 31% remote and 46% hybrid for their workforces, far higher percentages than more-established companies. Only 22% of younger companies are fully in the office, according to Gusto. Overall, companies that were 100% on-site before the pandemic are split between hybrid work and being fully in the office, with 8% fully remote.

Nobody is forcing anybody – freedom is in the freedom to abstain, and all of us can abstain from working for an employer that demands RTO. There are plenty of remote jobs remote roles are possible, and the smaller the company, the better the job because you (as the individual among fewer) are valued. Big companies don’t care and don’t have to care.
It’s probably another fact missing from this article, but while larger companies are doing RTO, smaller companies are not. Larger companies are making a mistake here, most likely. They’ve got problems and are blaming remote work rather than innovating. Smaller companies are nimble.
This is terrible reporting, emotional, practically yellow. Two academics are quoted. The article and headline tell you how you should feel about this. This should have never gotten past the editor’s desk.
The result of about half of recent lander missions from Earth is failure.
The USA hasn’t tried one recently.

I can’t even verify if this was posted on their site.
I don’t have a watch or a Fitbit, but these screens sure look a lot like Google Fit.

The movie is a Tom and Jerry cartoon.
Thank you for this. I used it to explain it to my spouse today. It did help. I remember liking Tom and Jerry, quite a lot, and I never did take them seriously. This was a good perspective for me.
I do have a sense of humor, but I do have trouble with liking movies or TV where I have nobody to root for.
like Seinfeld or Always Sunny
That helps. As it turns out, I didn’t care for these either. At least I know I have a type now. Appreciate it.
As an audio enthusiast, it sucks that I can’t upgrade my stereo/audio system.
Exactly! I can have the system I want but having it somehow means no heated seats in the winter.
The annual subscription, which was introduced in January of 2022, goes to $139.99 in a $20 increase.
I literally renewed just two days ago, right under the wire!
Fighting with Windows 11 introduced me to Linux Mint, which works perfectly! I’m not an OS geek, so I really don’t care about the OS – it’s just the thing I deal with on the way to Firefox.
