My friend’s job has hybrid RTO and it basically means half the team is still out when you’re in the office so they still meet on Zoom/Teams, haha…what a waste

When I used to work in office:

• Wake up at 7am, get ready to go and take a 1 hour commute in, usually there by 9:00
• Try to find parking, walk to office, morning break room coffee and chatter, usually settle in around 9:30
• Get interrupted multiple times by desk drive bys
• Take 2 hour lunch around noon with multiple coworkers because why not
• Get interrupted multiple times by desk drive bys
• Leave at 4 to try and avoid some traffic

Now that I work from home:

• Wake up and hop online to work, usually settle in by 7:30am
• No desk drive by interruptions
• Eat at my desk during meetings or while simultaneously working
• Sometimes start laundry or something during the day, but who cares?
• Usually work later than 5

How do I do that?

Damn :(

Oh, it tastes fine, I’m saying like…energy-wise and sugar-crash-wise I feel bad. Just wondering if I’m missing something.

Serious question, if I live off just that, I end up feeling like absolute garbage. That’s even with supplementing it with greens like spinach and some other veggies and vitamin supplements. What am I missing?

Like, macro-wise, I can replace meat and other things, but it doesn’t seem to hit the same?

Is this how you live your life? Going around telling people how to live theirs?

Jesus christ dude. I said I’m aware.

I have specific use cases that Kagi, and nothing else that I’ve found but feel free to try me, satisfies to a T with speed and value.

Unlike you, I’m aware enough to realize I’m not the average consumer and that not everyone might fall into my bucket, so it was merely a suggestion ALONG WITH ANOTHER SUGGESTION (SearXNG). I’ll leave it up to the reader to do their own tests and see if it suits their needs.

I guarantee something you eat came from Nestle somehow and that something you own or wear was made on the backs of a sweatshop of some sort. Quit with your holier-than-thou bullshit.

I’m aware.

I’ve been using Kagi since ~February and it’s changed my views on Search. Beforehand, if use a combination of Google, Bing, DDG, and Brave and rarely find what I needed in satisfactory time. Now I’m typically finding it in the top 5 without all the cruft + have access to a handful of LLM assistants to choose from for other tasks (when needed).

I’ve also heard good things about SearXNG.

A friend of mine who works there said that there is a non-zero chance a number of managers will be told to go back to being an IC or take a severance.

I work for a startup…and we’re all remote…lol

I get that, FancyZones let’s you use keyboard shortcuts to move windows into custom configured zones. Typically I split my screen into a 2 up on the left, single in the middle, and 2 up on the right and I can move apps into those zones with just the arrow keys.

The annoying part of any current Linux solution for me is I have to use the mouse and resize a window and move it into what would normally be a zone. I’d prefer to be able to never use a mouse and be able to move a window with shortcut keys into a predefined zone and size.

I’ll check it out, thanks! Hadn’t seen that one in my searches.

Sweet, I’ll take a look.

I’ll check it out! Thank you.

Any recommendations on a window manager in Linux that behaves the same as FancyZones in Windows?

It’s like…the one thing (other than visual studio and teams) that I can’t seem to find a solid alternative for. I’ve tried a number of things I found online but they aren’t the same, they’re more like tiling systems.

My most recent speeding ticket cost me 14% of my bank account and about a week later resulted in me putting groceries on a credit card.

I agree with you.

lol and your username

TIL she’s 83, holy crap.
