Courant d'air 🍃

TLDR: standing all day long can be worse than sitting, but alternating standing and sitting positions is very good for your health.

Standing desks have never been promoting standing all day imo, the title is pure clickbait. Standing desks are good for your health, just use them correctly.

Just made the transition, couldn’t be easier. Export, import, profit

Good read, I think the practical example of enshittification makes it easier to understand.

To sum up the other comments:

Don’t worry it’s nothing.

PS: if you don’t have a professional do something about it quickly your house will explode.

That’s why I stopped asking / reading answers about this kind of stuff on forums, and have a professional come and see to give me a real advice. Every case is different and reading random advices on the internet can bring a lot of anxiety. Especially if you decide to do nothing while some people told you that it could be really bad.

As I understand the screenshots, it looks like it is simulating a windows XP desktop but not opening actual windows or messing with the system

Let’s go. In and out. Eight day adventure.

Not everybody, usually RTTs depend on how much overtime is planned in your contract (eg. most engineers work 37.5h instead of 35h, so they get 1 RTT each 3 weeks). Many people don’t have any RTT

Nice, good luck with your fight, remote work is the future

Nope, France is 5 minimum, each company can add as much as they want but the law is 5 minimum.

I agree on all the good work of previous generations to earn us these though.

What’s the name of your employer again?

Seriously, those are really good conditions, I’m glad you are aware of that.

Is that really a thing? I’ve seen it in a few job offers but I have trouble understanding how it works…

As I understand it you can take as many days as you want and it works on the company’s trust, but that system sounds really toxic to me, isn’t it?

Edit: I’m European with almost 7 weeks off a year for context

Second that, same plan for 2 years and very happy with it. I only host a VPN though

A Raspberry Pi with a touchscreen should be enough, I can’t think of a cheaper alternative

I’d say more than 10 years now. Computers evolved a lot more between the 90s and the 00s than between the 00s and now, my old laptop is 10 years old and it’s still perfectly running linux, and I hope it will keep running for years.

The problem is more hardware obsolescence, it’s a Acer so every part of it is slowly falling apart (keyboard, screen, battery) and OEM parts are impossible to find after all those years. I guess this problem is less important for desktop.

So you have five different apps to browse Lemmy?

I do run Piped locally for my family’s use, it seems that it works better than public instances but I haven’t really measured to what extent (except for ping, which is obviously excellent at 4ms).

I would say that the problem with self-hosting for private use is limited privacy, as the benefits of grouping multiple users behind the same proxy are lost. I try to mitigate this by routing all piped traffic through a VPN though.
