In a surprise to absolutely nobody, scientists have studied remote work for 4 years and have reached a clear conclusion: working from home makes us happier.
it surprises me, who was utterly miserable when I worked from home and now avoid it at all costs, so I quickly read it, and it’s about commuting and eating better, so yeah, no wonder! But my take would be ban cars, shorten the work day, and provide lunch. And then yes, if someone wants to work from home let them
@RosaCtrl for sure, the real issue with with the amount of time you lose.
When I worked at a hospital, and lived 10 min away from work, it was quite enjoyable to go to the office. I had a good team, and the environment was great. So, I can see the appeal if issues like commute aren't present.
I've been working from home since the pandemic hit, and I find I'm happy doing that as well. I also have a few friends who don't enjoy being remote because it's too isolating.
yup! And also, I believe corporations shall provide the space and tools necessary to work, I don’t wanna have to rent a bigger apartment to have an office, and I don’t want my living room to be my office, for example
yeah, we agree the system sucks, but it’s not changing and km afraid working from home may end with corporations outsourcing some expenses, and with workers spending more time at work, as I did, because I didn’t have leverage
i guess best would be to let people decide and don't force them i like both aspects but i most often enjoy work from home due to the fact of my kids seeing them beeing around and not only in the evenings. Also the lost time in traffic. So as already stated let the people decide. And one underestimated aspect imho is all the people doing office jobs beeing at home reduces the traffic for workers that have to get to work like nurses and stuff.
but working from home is definitely a white collar privilege (unless we go back to backyard workshops like in medieval times… which is what I’m planning for my retirement anyway).
@eobet sure, some jobs need to be done in person. However, less people commuting helps everyone in the end. People who do have to be physically present to do their work have to deal with less traffic as a result.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought about dramatic changes in the work environment. Although 6.5 percent of workers in the private business sector worked primarily from home in 2019, the pandemic was the start of a massive experiment in full-time remote wo…
Not buying it. When an office is properly organized (i.e. not a huge noisy open-plan with 50+ people not even remotely associated with the project you're working on), I much prefer going there to do the work, and actually meeting people regularly(!), instead of rearranging my apartment to fit job needs in addition to everything else a home is supposed to be.
@zir4n if you read through the article, it notes that the biggest factor is time people save on commute. I've had a job where I could walk to work in under 10 min before, and I liked my team. I did enjoy being in the office and seeing people when I worked there.

In this article, I want to offer up a new interpretation of historical materialism. From this point forward, I will simply call historical materialism ‘materialism’. When Marxists refer to themselves as ‘materialists’, they are attempting to ground their analyses in historical materialism—they are claiming their analyses show fidelity to the material conditions of struggle, and are grounded in the science of Marxism. So I will simply say ‘materialism’. I wish to offer a new theory of Marxist materialism. I believe there is a lot of confusion about what Marxists really mean when they claim they are ‘materialists’, and so in this contribution I wish to make an argument for what I mean when I claim I am a materialist.
On the one hand, Lola is the sweetest cat in the world and I love her. On the other hand, I increasingly wonder if it’s safe for me to live with her. I am handling so much cat shit, often soft-diarrhetic cat shit, because she poops 3x a day and at least once or twice a day on the floor. I have to handle all that poop while I’m especially vulnerable to infections (due to requiring an immunosuppressant drug for Crohn's disease, and now Bronchiectasis, neither condition did I have when we adopted her lo those many years ago), all kinds of infections that most people don’t have to worry about, infections of everyday bacteria. I have to clean the mat she poops on every day, there’s inevitably some backsplash even when I use the garden hose in the driveway. I’m worried for myself but don’t know what else to do. (Shit pix on request.)
@ninapaleyWhat an awful situation for you. Is it worth having a chat with your doctor(s) about what the actual risk level is? It may not be as high as you worry it is.
@FlickMy actual doctors don't know shit about bronchiectasis, it's a rare disease. Specialists are few and far between. My Crohn's doctor is in another department and because they're prescribing Skyrizi -- which definitely works for my Crohn's -- they don't want to talk about the immunosuppression side of it, as that's the side they don't like. Having all these illnesses I'm kind of on my own here.
@ninapaleyYT recently showed me an ad for a robotic cat litter system that looked quite clever. The opening was recessed to prevent scattering (so squatting facing out would not be an option) and it turned inside to filter out the waste into a lower receptacle.
@ninapaleyOh Nina. This post makes me feel so sad for you. It is such a horrible dilemma.
My tabby is a very messy pooper. I got him an extra big cat tray with a lid and door. He wouldn't use it with the door but once I took that off he is now happy to do his business in there. He goes in and squats with his head sticking out but it does trap all the mess inside. I also use big tray liners so it is easy to clean out. Maybe something like this would help contain Lola's mess.
Also have you spoken to the vet as 3 poos a day is a lot? Maybe a diet change could help firm things up. After my recent experiences with my black cat and her £3000 poo I feel I am now an expert in this!!!
Finally some cat litters are better than others. I now use a mix of a wood pulp and a dust-free/odour reducing litter. Some of the cheaper brands trigger my asthma. Dealing my cats' toilet needs in a way that minimises problems for me is an expense but fortunately I can afford it and I think they are worth it.
Hopefully you can work things out for you and Lola so that you can stay together and stay well.
@machaHaving bought them 2 new litterboxes recently, it's not the box. Covered, uncovered, high walls, low walls, doesn't matter. They get World's Best Cat Litter and have their whole lives. It's expensive and good. Both cats have IBD and both are on Prednisone now. Pred makes them eat more, hence the 3x per day. Some of those are in the box. But every day at least one is on the floor, sometimes more. This is a new (mis)behavior for Lola. She's going back to the vet Thursday for another urine test; if she still has an infection then she gets another round of antibiotics. I pray that resolves this, but I fear it won't. Meanwhile, one day at a time...
@LostInCaliforniaAs I said before, a self-cleaning litterbox only works when the cat poops inside the box. If Lola were pooping inside the box, I would just continue scooping it regularly, while wearing a mask. It's the continual mess I have to clean up due to her new habit of pooping on the floor that is breaking me. Robo-litter won't help that.
@LostInCaliforniaLine the usual spots on the floor with paper or a washable mat? Immodium to at least reduce the volume of shits? Assuming she's been to the vet and there's no physical reason
A glimpse into tribal psychosis I monitor some Israelis on social media. Many of them refer to the Israeli criminal war against #Iran as ‘the regional independence war. ‘ In their delusional morbid minds they see themselves as the ‘liberators’ of the Arabs and the Muslims. Let me remind you and hopefully them that Hitler also saw himself as the liberator of Europe but there is one crucial difference 125.000 young Europeans joined the Waffen SS voluntarily and the number went up to 500.000 as the war progressed. I don’t see Arabs queuing to join #IGF. Far worse, even the Israelis refuse the call to return to reserve duty and as we know the Ortodox community keep resisting ti join the military…

Regarding the last couple boosts: among other downsides, LLMs encourage people to take long-term risks for perceived, but not always actual, short-term gains. They bet the long-term value of their education on a chance at short-term grade inflation, or they bet the long-term security and maintainability of their software codebase on a chance at short-term productivity gains. My read is that more and more data is suggesting that these are bad bets for most people.
In that respect they're very much like gambling. The messianic fantasies some ChatGPT users have been experiencing fits this picture as well.

"Yesterday’s split screen was striking: millions of peaceful high-energy protestors on one side and Trump’s listless North Korean-style self-celebration on the other. ...

Some countries did. It did not end well for them. Maybe except Russia which started as one of aggressors but was forced to change sides and ended up colonizing more countries than they started for.
They did fabricate a casus belli, in faking hostile Polish activity (the Gleiwitz incident among others) and using “the Polish assault” as the justification. You know, we are compelled to invade Poland, they attaxxed us.

This remote archipelago in Papua, Indonesia, lies at the heart of Coral Triangle, home to richest marine biodiversity on Earth. Over 1,500 fish species, three-quarters of all known coral species, and countless fragile ecosystems thrive here. Indigenous Papuans rely on waters and forests for food, identity, and survival.
This ecological and cultural sanctuary is now under siege — from the very industry that claims to be building a cleaner, greener future: nickel mining.
Youth protests in Jakarta spotlight the destruction of Raja Ampat, a biodiversity hotspot and Indigenous Papuan homeland, driven by nickel mining for EVs.
"by acknowledging its intentions, Israel has forced the world to confront a moral and legal emergency that can no longer be obscured by euphemism or diplomatic evasion. Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza has exposed not only the brutality of its military doctrine, but also the fragility of the international legal order — largely established in the wake of the Holocaust — meant to prevent such atrocities."
Since Trump's return, Israel has dropped all pretenses of self-defense. But even as it evades accountability, it has cemented its legacy as a global pariah.

"LLM users also struggled to accurately quote their own work. While LLMs offer immediate convenience, our findings highlight potential cognitive costs. Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in learning."
The interesting thing is: People who used search engines (to find sources etc) did not show similar issues. This is an important antidote against the belief that LLM-based tools are just like search engines. Which they are not. They are massively degrading their users' mental abilities and development. Which is why these systems have absolutely no place even _near_ any school or university.
This study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM, Search Engine, and Brain-only (no tools). Each completed three sessions under the same condition.
If It's To Be War With Iran, Let It Be The War That Nobody Comes To C. #Johnstone
Let’s make this clear: if the #US bombs #Iran, Iran will kill US military personnel in response. If this happens, it will not be Iran’s fault that those military personnel died. It will be Trump’s fault. It will be the fault of everyone whose decisions led to the attack which resulted in their deaths.
And they will have died for nothing.
Anyone who dies in a war with Iran will have died for nothing.
They will not have died fighting for anyone’s freedom. They will not have died protecting their country.
The warmongers and propagandists will try to spin their deaths in this way, but they will be lying.
The bereaved parents and partners of those who died will also try to frame their deaths in this way, but they will only be fooling themselves, because the truth will be too painful to bear.
And the truth is that everyone who dies in such a war will have died because a few powerful people made some extremely evil decisions out of their own self-interest. And for no other reason.
Do NOT join the US military. Do NOT join the militaries of any nation which normally participates in America’s wars. If you are in those militaries, you should get out by any means necessary, as quickly as possible. If further on down the track there is a draft for a war with Iran, you should dodge the draft. Because otherwise you will be throwing yourself into a war with one of the world’s most formidable militaries, for nothing.
If you fight in such a war, you will be fighting for nothing.
If you die in such a war, you will die for nothing.
If you lose your limbs in such a war, you will lose your limbs for nothing.
If you suffer permanent brain damage in such a war, you will lose your mind for nothing.
Even if you manage to survive such a war with your body and brain intact, you will live the rest of your life with the knowledge that you killed human beings for nothing.
There’s a stanza from Carl Sandburg’s “The People, Yes” which has been bubbling around in my consciousness a lot lately:
The little girl saw her first troop parade and asked, ‘What are those?’ ‘Soldiers.’ ‘What are soldiers?’ ‘They are for war. They fight and each tries to kill as many of the other side as he can.’ The girl held still and studied. ‘Do you know . . . I know something?’ ‘Yes, what is it you know?’ ‘Sometime they’ll give a war and nobody will come.’
If the US directly attacks Iran — and it’s looking increasingly likely that it will — Iran can be expected to kill many US soldiers with powerful attacks on the US military bases that are within striking range of its missiles. If that happens, the US can be expected to launch a full-scale regime change war on Iran.
If that’s to be, then let this be the war that nobody comes to. Because the alternative is to fight and die in a stupid war waged by evil people, for nothing.
