To be fair, this should be the other way around. All these foss apps are the teletubbies because they’re clunky and have major bugs. Sync is the power ranger.

Free and open-source software

They could just say open-source like normal people but we’re amongst nerds here.

I agree. That’s why I pay for apps and services that are well designed and supported. The “free” mentality always leads to advertisements being pushed into everyone’s face.

Without financial support, most Lemmy instances wouldn’t exist. I’d rather support apps that have free versions with premium subscriptions, or donation models, but it’s all the same thing to me. I want to go back to world where we just pay for stuff.

I guess my company has been lucky so far. Our management team saw the chance to save money by reducing how many buildings we need and they rolled that money into hiring more remote workers.

It’s funny / sad how much good / bad management can affect a company. Anyone with half a brain can see the benefit of remote work. You just need to figure out how to keep your workers accountable in different ways now that you can’t stand behind their chairs and look over their shoulders.

The smart companies are saving money and getting better workers. The rest can all go fuck themselves.
