Indeed I was! I’m not sure the studies you linked would either confirm nor refute that point. I agree with your supposition that studies on Indian call centers probably don’t generalize particularly well.
Keeping commercial real estate values up is the main goal of in-person public schools?
I was making a point about remote schooling, and based on the responses I’ve gotten, I feel like most people here didn’t even read my comment
You didn’t address my point at all — I’m talking about remote schooling, which I believe studies showed did not do well.
I agree with you that the WFH “productivity” studies are suspect since it’s difficult to measure productivity in any meaningful way.
Why not? Remote schooling was generally viewed as a poor substitute for in-person schooling, so it doesn’t seem unreasonable to me that there could be benefits to doing things in real life.
Exactly, which is why I said “charging people to play pirated games” (though I suppose it was really just one game, so no plural was needed.)
Internet people: NINTENDO IS DESTROYING ALL EMULATORS raaaaaaaa
Reality: Nintendo sued exactly one emulator that was literally charging people to play pirated games
Seems about the same?
The best cheese temperature is fresh out of the refrigerator and I will die on this hill!
I downvoted it because it’s blaming the wrong entity; the real bad actor here is Apple.
The AltStore should be free and it should be available globally, but neither are possible thanks to Apple’s anticompetitive shenanigans.
Agreed, most of the characters in the book are so flat, and only do things because the plot needed them to do that thing.
The Netflix series managed to make the character’s motivations seem more believable which I appreciated.
If only they had functional data backup and export on non-Android platforms…
Ah, you’re right! I evidently mixed up the expensive Apple accessories haha
My favorite post-Jobs keynote moment was the confused laughter when Apple triumphantly announced the price of the $699 Mac Pro wheels.
So disappointed they’re still doing the prerecorded presentations. The old live ones were so much more fun!
Seems they are aware of that problem, according to the article:
Taxis can use Market Street but Uber and Lyft can’t — an aspect of the system that even planners say has problems, since so many people use those ride-booking options, but there’s no obvious way to let them cross 10th Street without allowing all other drivers, too.
Agreed. The problem was they had planned to redo the streetscape as part of the Better Market Street initiative, but the plans fell through because the Board of Supervisors spent so much time infighting that they lost the federal funds that would have funded it:

For me it's got to be an option for always have the map be north-up when doing turn by turn directions.

How often do Lemmy instances sync with Kbin?
I've noticed that often Kbin.social posts show far fewer comments on Lemmy.world than if I go directly to Kbin. Eventually it seems to resync, which got me wondering: how often do Lemmy.world and Kbin.social (and/or other federated instances) sync with each other?
