I don’t work for Amazon, but when my employer announced mandatory RTO I simply included travel time in my day. At home I could do 8 hours of pure work. RTO days were about 6 hours of work and 2 hours of commute.

This line of reasoning is baffling anyway. Amazon is spread out over multiple geographical locations, it’s not like remote meeting will go away

I’m pretty familiar with how one particular brand of TV works, and you’re right, it’s absolutely not screenshots. It’s a handful of single pixels across the screen. By matching these pixels against known content it’s possible to identify what was being watched. Not too different than how Shazam can identify a song.

That’s not to say all TV manufacturers work that way.

I paid to remove ads from Reddit Sync in 2014. 9 years went by where I continued to use the app every single day, as ljdawson continued regular improvements and updates (aside from the incident). By the time Reddit Sync went away, I felt I had vastly underpaid for what I got, and purchased lifetime Ultra as a way of supporting ljdawson.

I totally get what you’re saying. But at the same time, Sync is so much more than just the content that it displays. The ads are not there to profit on free content, they’re there to support the user experience that sync provides. They’re also far, far less obtrusive than typical ads

The nice thing is, there’s choices! Feel free to use other clients and find what works best

I really am wondering if there’s some sort of sorting issue, or even a self inflicted feedback loop.

If you keep Lemmy on “active”, you end up with a bunch of 1, 2, even 3 day old content. This seems to be noticeably worse in the last few weeks.

However, if you use top 12, there’s enough content to keep it fresh. Not a lot of comments, but that’s alright

I paid for it when it was bundled with Google Play Music. It felt like a great value.

Too bad they abandoned GPM.

Virtually identical absolutely. But in my personal experience over the last few months, I see content that’s in lemmy.world that’s not on lemm.ee

For a while, because content was more thin, I’d run through all of active, then all of hot, then I’d look at lemmy.world just to see if there was content I hadn’t seen yet

I look at lemmy.world all occasionally to get a sense of what I’m interested in but don’t know it yet. Then I subscribe to help expand the variety for everyone. Not that lemm.ee is all that small

I ran a Synology setup that ultimately I replaced with Unraid. I love the flexibility that Unraid provides, but Synology’s software really is top notch. I’ve pieced together various docker images with Unraid to make something comparable functionality wise, but no where near as integrated or seamless

They both use ActivityPub, which is why the content is shared. But they’re different software.

Completely agree. I had experiences in Alyx that were unique to any other game I’ve ever played. Things that are just not possible outside of VR.
