It’s become pretty commonplace in office environments in the last few years. My company did it, and we develop medical communications literature. They just decided that, as more people were working remotely after the pandemic, it was just more efficient not to renew the lease on most of the office space, and not to bother having assigned desks if people were coming in just a few days a week at most.

Of course, my company never made it mandatory to come into the office (esp. because most people worked all over the country, nowhere near an office); I don’t know Meta’s situation, if they forced people to come into the office but didn’t provide a permanent workspace–which is entirely what I’d expect from them–then they deserve to lose all their employees.

It’s almost as though the whole thing was meant to be a grift with no real intent behind it

I’m not subscribed but I do watch his videos whenever I stumble on them and they’re pretty good. He takes the piss out of Apple and Microsoft equally and regularly dunks on Google as well. I don’t think he really centers on Linux very often, if at all, but whatev. Good watch, I recommend [not that my opinion is worth anything]

When I moved my kid’s desktop away from Windows I chose pop!_OS because I figured it would not only be good for newcomers, but it would also be friendlier with nvidia, which it was but I didn’t want to risk it with the Cosmic beta. I think I’ll still wait a bit before upgrading from 22.10 but it’s almost time to move forward.
