Then said tools were made a lot simpler with a lot less control over them
Which needs to be reversed if we're to remain free in Western democracies. Access to and control of computing - general purpose computing in particular - is practically a civil liberty now. I look at legislators in my own country, and I'd wager 50% of them don't understand this, 40% kind of grasp the problems but are apathetic, and 10% are on the enemies' payrolls.
I wouldn't be surprised if the average consumer does more for the environment by reducing consumption by 10% and not recycling anything, than maintaining normal consumption and regularly recycling.
2023 turned web2 platforms into the Thing, and turned us into MacReady.

I started watching TNG. There's so many episodes; I'm only three in and it's already cosy hearing 'captain's log' however
With respect OP, blow it out your ass. Think twice before posting paywalled material or at least kindly run it through a cleaner (the source can be gleaned by including the original URL). Alternately you could spend a few moments pasting important sections in the post body.
I'm convinced Adobe's acquisition activity is driven primarily by elimination of alternatives to the SaaS subscription model, as opposed to revenue growth. Adobe is okay with viable competition, but they are not okay with viable competition that offers an alternate payment and delivery model that doesn't view the customer as an open wallet. That's when the polonium tea comes out, because letting that run spells industry exodus.
It makes me wonder what the US DOJ/FTC/relevant regulator thinks. Perhaps they don't care at all because (unlike Adobe's userbase) we realize this sector is as un-vital as it gets. The Stockholm syndrome on display is sad nevertheless.
If the employee is frequently on sick leave and is required to produce paper, that's a trust issue. But if the manager can't recall when the employee was last ill yet still demands one, then they've shown they cannot distinguish trust from compliance.
An open app simply is another type of browser tab, in my books. From a 'screen cruft' perspective I consider them roughly equivalent. At any rate it's an interesting aspect of software design psychology...
The rise of corporate landlords provides the incentive for all these bad actors. Fail to solve that and the gaming will surface in a new form in ten years. RealPage and other cretins are in business because they have only to make a dozen phonecalls to rental agents in any given city/municipality and they've got the bulk of supply co-operating. Any state/federal government that takes cost of living seriously will do everything it can to keep residential real estate ownership highly fragmented; anything else amounts to a default on citizens.
Is that false flag operation r/AgainstHateSubreddits still operating?
