One of my workmates has been in one of their places for a while now. I’ve heard they’re particularly fun for young professionals.

Archive.is used to block people with Finnish IPs too, allegedly because of personal immigration issues.

I don’t get the impression it’s something anyone should ever rely on.

Because it’s toxic for the type of brexiteers who objected to the EU because it meant there were more foreigners in the country. Even “worse”, these people will mostly be visible minorities.

This is a crucial constituency for the Conservative party.

Perhaps there’s a danger that, by normalising self-identification as a thief, campaigns like this might have unanticipated societal results.

I’d hate to see shoplifting/burglary/mugging stats climbing in a few years time.

Ah yes, a statement on copyright thanking someone for buying an authorised edition of Great Expectations, a book whose copyright expired in 1940 at the latest…

The development cost for building it out in the new engine would probably be an order of magnitude higher than the simple upscale.

If they thought they’d get an order of magnitude more sales from doing things that way, they’d have done it that way.

I’m with you, though. I’d love a proper remaster that also came as a native PC edition.

You don’t get rich by turning down easy money.

To what extent is the issue of using screens before sleep a question of mental overstimulation as opposed to specific frequencies of light?

Genuine question.

Sure, but there’s not much they can do about it if things are properly encrypted, for example using DKE on M365.

I’m sure they’ll have a great time when there’s no one to pay their pensions.

Sounds like your issue is a shitty workplace and shitty managers more than it is not not working from home.

This is what I was thinking. I’m very lucky to live somewhere where I can live without a car - even here in Helsinki, that’s not always possible.

It’d be the equivalent to spending an extra 2-3 hours a day working (because that’s what the total commute would be), plus money on vehicle upkeep

Maybe this is one of the reasons I actually prefer going to the office. For me, it’s only 15 minutes by metro.

No additional cost, very little wasted/lost time, and I actually enjoy being able to draw a line between work and life by putting them in different physical spaces.

Perhaps it also helps that my managers encourage people to work from wherever they feel they’re the most productive. It’s nice to know that I have the option to work from home without having to explain myself.

Not that I disagree with the rest of your comment, but

No way any normal person would say no to 2mil.

No way would I want the stress or weight on my conscience of having just stolen 2 mil.

In my opinion, anyone who would take that money is the abnormal one.

Amazon is shitting money. They’re not exactly a typical company.

Maybe for a small number of companies in a small number of industries, but most companies rent their office premises, even large companies.

I’ve worked at several multinational companies that sold their HQ buildings when they recognised that building management was not a core competence for them and tying up capital in real estate has a significant opportunity cost for them.

It’s no skin off their noses if commercial real estate plummets in value - if anything, it would be in their favour as their rent would decrease.

I mostly use desktop mode for messing about with things like emudeck and creating and forgetting an su password.

I’m no spring chicken myself. I started gaming on the Atari VCS, so I’m no stranger to bad graphics.

As for a third person camera, I’ve not actually played the game yet, but it is apparently possible to pay through the game in third person mode.

Tervetuloa!

Which part of Africa are you from? Moving in the summer is a great idea, but be prepared for the dark autumn. Until the snow falls it can be tough… Don’t forget to take your vitamin D.
