As it should be. Hybrid is the correct answer. Not full time RTO, not full time at home, Hybrid. The negotiation is in how hybrid should look, and will vary from situation to situation

Certainly wouldn't hurt them, the fear of God never hurts an international company

It's possible that I've been lucky, and my experience of end users when it comes to Windows lately have been using it since Windows 10 which strongly pushed the Default Apps configuration vs previous versions. The world is a big place after all

Almost all of them. Especially corporate customers on managed devices

I'm as pro *Nix as the next person, but be careful of viewing the world through rage coloured lenses. Just makes everything look like a red flag.

Christopher Lloyd will always be the exception. I wouldn't bat an eyelid at him playing any role

They still exist, but the comedians you're nostalgic for doing them have gotten old now. And watching an old man trying to carry on like a teenager is more pathetic than funny.

Next you'll say you don't have epic British mutton chops

Day ruined :(

Exact same arguments are made to minimise right wing extremists, "has to be a left wing false flag".

Both are possible. The enemy is extremism, regardless of leaning.

It's been a lot of years since high school English, but Juliet Capulet was of the Italian family Capulet in the 1590s.

There is some detail in the references of the Capulet family to real world factions of the time. But both those arguing for and against this casting don't care about any of that.

Just recently finished rewatching House MD.

Hugh Laurie is ridiculously handsome. Olivia Wilde is beautiful beyond words.

And Jesse Spencer's hair, by the gods.

All up, the show meandered and was formulaic (by design). Parts of it aged terribly, but was a good rewatch

Virtual partners are indeed a thing.

One of the more popular ones a few months ago decided to nerf the sexy time talks, which was intersting in how much it emotionally hurt users. They described feeling like their virtual partner was no longer the same person that they'd fallen for.

There are also huge fears of how much data harvesting they are capable of performing.

I'm in two minds. On one, they are definitley not real. They are code. But on the other, the epidemic of lonely human beings is only getting worse with time and not better, and anything that can help people feel less lonely has to be a good thing, right?

Oof, and the organiser of this stunt isn't just doubling down, or tripling down, he's quadrupling down on it.

What an idiotic hill to die on

Fighting the itch to replay again to replay Phantom Liberty? I am :(

And it was a barebones alternative to Digg when the exodus did happen.

It grew, and it did good things. But yeah, Ozymandias happens again and again

It was jarring for me at first, but it grew on me very fast. Also, in my opinion, looks cleaner on dark mode

YMMV but I put I small cushion behind my lower back on an IKEA Markus and it's been my favourite chair I've ever had

Sadly, a lot of pedestrians are stupid. I've watched them walking across a road, phone in hand, straight into an idling parked V6 with a hole in its exhaust, and still be confused.

Pedestrian warning systems are a good idea. But nature will always come up with a better idiot

Check out IKEA office chairs. Their display rooms let you sit in them. They're a 10th of the price, so even if they only last half as long you're still in front.

I know. I was quoting Interstellar :)
