In my experience price isn't the only issue. One of the (smaller) coworking spaces I can have access to locally, closes at 6pm while a coffee shop at around 9-10PM and it's also open on weekends.
But then again, I find working in coffee shops too distracting, so work from home and randomly popping into a coworking space now and then.
Little overpriced but I've found Loop Earplugs to help working in coffee shops, etc. Muffles out most of the sound but not everything, enough to focus but not fly off your seat if someone taps your shoulder.
For many you really want a distinction between “work area” and “home” - one way is to have a separate office at home to do work in, but you can also leave the house and go somewhere.
If you work on the kitchen table and that’s where you play, also, the mind and body have hard times disengaging from work.
The article implies that tabs, bookmarks, passwords can only be synchronised between Firefox installations and not with Zen or Libre (I assume this refers to LibreWolf?), but at least Zen can be connected to the Mozilla account and synchronises everything with the other connected Firefox, Firefox for Android, ... installations.
I'm eagerly awaiting Zen to enable tab groups/folders. I've been watching feat:9355, but its gotten bogged down in a debate about the whether tab folders in the tab bar should be the same as bookmarks, ala Arc. I personally did not like that Arc considered tabs and bookmarks to be the same because it made management and syncing a pita. Having to use a third script to export your bookmarks is not a good look.
I haven't used tab groups, is it like the indenting done in tree style tabs? I find workspaces and vertical tabs in Zen sufficient for my needs in organizing tabs, but I'm a complete amateur when it comes to the fine art of loading extreme numbers of multiple tabs from what I've seen of others.
HN is social media. Messenger apps are almost certainly social media. GitHub or similar platforms might be social media. There might be some people out there without any social media accounts, but they wouldn't be able to post about it on the internet.
Other than that, your example of using temporary accounts for some secondary platform functionality is yet another reason why this policy is terrible.
> Omitting social media information could lead to “visa denial and ineligibility” for future visas, the embassy added.
Honest question, how would they detect missing info? If they already knew all my social media profiles, they wouldn't need to ask for it. If I wrote some credible threads on any platform, I assume those would have been detected by someone anyway. Also, I surely wouldn't voluntarily disclose the account I used to publish those.
Question you and do research on you on the open web as well as on whatever other data they can access / request. You can get selected for some form of in-depth questioning and research on you at a border for many reasons. At that point, it's certainly still possible that they miss some information about you but in times of big data collection by governments, "better" systems to make sense of the data and permissive legislation, it becomes less likely. Especially if you did not prepare in advance (for example: most people who post some hateful or threatful shit probably do not take the greatest care possible to make themselves as untraceable as possible).
I once got detained for about four hours or so at my destination airport. There were multiple rounds of questioning by persons who seemed rather intelligent and based on what they asked, they did some research about me in the meantime (or wanted to achieve that effect - no idea what tactics those people use). There could have been a few reasons why I was questioned in-depth - maybe it was because of a random spot check, maybe because they considered some stuff in my luggage unusual, maybe because I had work affiliations with people who are routinely questioned when entering some countries due to their work. Who knows.
This was many years ago, so I assume they had to do a lot of their research by hand and there would have been limited other data sources available. I imagine this is rather different today.
Internally. I feel like this word does belong into the headline. Other than that, I will never understand how employees don't move all of their communication far outside of their employers infrastructure in cases like that.
It's not about the dozens of activists talking with each other but about them writing to tens of thousands of people within the company. The former you can do on any platform. The latter you can only do on the employer's platform: that's where the people who're apathetic to your cause are, and they're not about to join your Discord.
I didn't call you a nazi, but gave an adequate historic example of the "good apathetic worker" who just does his/her "job" without being aware or caring about the consequences of that work. I'm not responsible for your poor reading comprehension skills.
You quoted what I wrote and fake-attributed my words to someone manufacturing Zyklon-B. That is not setting up a historical analogy, but a direct insult.
The only correct response from you is an apology, not insults about my reading comprehension.
I did not attribute anything to you, it's an analogy. It's still not my problem that you have poor reading comprehension skills such that you can't deal with a rhetorical device which expresses an analogy in the adequate historical context to make clear that "being a good, obedient and apathetic worker" does not free one of the consequences and complicity of work that actively aids and abets the extermination of a people. It's a reminder for those who forgot about the principle of "the banality of evil"[0].
You've been breaking the site guidelines badly by doing two things that are not allowed here: (1) using HN primarily (even exclusively) for political battle; and (2) personal attacks, such as you did here. If you keep doing these things, we're going to have to ban you.
Note: this is not because of your views on the underlying topic. I understand that people have reason to feel very strongly about this topic. However, there are many HN users who share your views without breaking the site guidelines, and we need you to do that too.
Moreover, this has been a pattern with your account in the past since long before the current crisis:
Every article that criticizes some general UI thing, like the general state of current user interfaces, how everything was better 10/20/100 years ago, how the start menu or settings in some operating systems are bad, ... really should be forced to provide some actual examples and analyze them in some detail. All we get in this article is a screenshot of Gmail, resized to a small size so that we don't even have a chance to decipher anything on it, and the repeated assurance of the author that this does in fact represent an unusable UI.
But even I, as someone who doesn't use Gmail, can quickly understand that interface on the screenshot after zooming in a bit. Maybe it looks a bit chaotic, but there seem to be some menus opened just for the sake of argument. Maybe this UI is incredibly powerful? Maybe they didn't dumb down the interface, which is something that is also criticized here a lot. It's hard to tell from a screenshot alone.
