any productivity gains benefit the business not the employee.

Yes, and that's a problem in the US. Other countries are much better about it, and we need to change to catch up to best practices for worker's rights!

but the simple fact of the matter is that most office-based employers don’t own any commercial real estate

That's not a fact. The reality is that all these rich assholes are friends with each other. The owner of the business is friends with the owner of the building and friends with the owner of the vendors and friends with the owner of the retailers. They all go on camping trips and to each other's kids weddings.

The owner of the business renting the office space might not literally own the building, but they're all friends.

Exactly.

We had a slow day at work we knew was going to be slow. I wfh most mornings and then commute in. Decided to just take my time got to the office an hour later than usual. My goddman coworker called our supervisor and let him know I wasn't in. For what? There was nothing for me to do all day, except a half hour of work later in thr afternoon I easily could have done at home.

But my coworker didn't like that. So he had to call my boss who was on PTO and let him know. (He left at 2PM because there was nothing to do though.) He's not even my supervisor but he still had to throw his weight around for no reason.

They'll know about it when it's a good product. And , they do know about it, every fuck spez thread had lemmy memtioned as an alternative. At this point, any redditors who cared about the api changes know about lemmy. And that's fine if you want to go on reddit and spam lemmy links.

But it makes no sense to go to current reddit mods who are committed to volunteering for reddit six weeks after all this shit went down. They like reddit and dont plan on leaving, if they did they would have six weeks ago.

Yeah because trump is going to solve those problems, man GTFO the republican and conservatives are a complete joke, as flawed as the democrats are and as amazing as presidents lincoln roosevelt and eisenhower were, the republicans of today are literally just a joke clown army for putin.

They could tackle that problem exactly by creating an instance that reposts whatever gets posted to reddit subs. Asking reddit mods to help is just pathetic and won't work.

No, we're blaming OP for trying to make lemmy more like an ipo-minded business.

Naturally meaning make lemmy a good experience and people will come. Begging redditors to come won't help anything. Hell, OP and anyone else is free to just set up an instance where a bot reposts whatever gets posted to reddit front page, or a specific sub. That's a fine idea i think to help lemmy grow, as is any idea that will improve the Lemmy experience. But there's no need to spam reddit mods and ask them to help grow lemmy.

Yeah lemmy can do the same, but begging redditors to switch won't help anything. I was part of the digg migration, nobody on reddit ever posted on digg to go switch. I just searched for something else, and reddit was there. I certainly didn't spend a second thinking about digg afterwards, and i wont think about reddit either.

I dont think math has a specific definition like that, but I will say other animals can't do what dogs do. Also, we often do think of math as written symbols, but that's our human/academic perspective. Math is far more fundamental than that. All we're doing is modeling the math inherent to the universe.

I guess, idk that seems less fun to me lol. And in CK3 you can absolutely be a vassal of a larger kingdom and fight (or negotiate) for your independence.
