Just move to Turkey. Start a new job. Find the love of your life. Get married. Have kids. Grow old together, and support your children as they age in to adulthood. Spend your golden years relaxing. Maybe visit some beaches.

Oh yeah, and I guess use your Turkish payment method at some point in there too. I’m guessing at some point in there you got like a credit card or something

I was thinking similar. How much of this was communicated, vs just done without asking. Were there considerations like “does company want their code on GitHub?”

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

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.

She’s one of the oldest boomers.

Baby boomer generation is 1946-1964 (59 to 77 years old).

You can have /r/technology and /r/tech and /r/technews etc…

It’s a problem that resolves itself. One community or the other will “win”.

And if not, whatever. On Reddit, my home city has two subreddits. The content between them is slightly different (different mod teams) and the comments on duplicate posts are different. I subscribed to both to see slightly different opinions and avoid echo chamber.

Ah interesting. I too have instituted a flex time Friday.

So far my company hasn’t seemed to notice

I went to college early 2000s. The textbook said something along the lines of “The fastest RAM is 100 MHz”.

DDR was still relatively new then. I took a clipping of an ad showing higher speeds, and he literally claimed I faked the printed ad …

When was that? Where?

The house I bought in my 20s (for $275k, inflation adjusted) is now worth $475k.

The house I bought in my 30s ($480k, inflation adjusted) is now worth $800k

In my area at least, home prices are far outpacing inflation. I literally couldn’t afford to buy the house I’m in today at its current value.

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
