I think (at least in tech) we are seeing a brain drain where companies with strong RTO mandates can neither retain nor attract talent. Remote-first companies should be at a big advantage. Time will tell if it matters.
As someone who has been remote for 8+ years, it's extra disconcerting that now some companies are more in the office than they were even before covid. It's totally about control as you said. I'm at least hoping that it eventually returns to where it was.
Ahahaha what do you think it's 1995?
I like my online life to be like my real life. Empty and without meaning.
The original comment was pretty snarky so I see about as much snark as I'd expect, tbh.
I think all CEOs think their clientele are dumb. It's literally the only real requirement to be a CEO, besides already being rich and knowing the right people.
I've tried to make this point several times to folks in the industry. I work in AI, and yet every time I approach some people with "you know it ultimately just repeats patterns", I'm met with scoffs and those people telling me I'm just not "seeing the big picture".
But I am, and the truth is that there are limits. This tech is not the digital singularity the marketers and business goons want everyone to think it is.

I mean, the point of Debian is stability. If I'm running Debian then I'm not even gonna want to try and install the thing until after I've seen 100 people use it. I don't think they'll be looking for it in repos.
I'm not sure we should expect new or enlightened views on this issue. Everything seems pretty clear from a facts standpoint.
I use Foobar2000 for music. It is feature packed and so customizable. It's available as a snap using Wine (I think it's the only snap I have installed, in fact).
I really wish there were a Linux binary available but it has been Windows-only forever. The closest Linux player I've seen is Deadbeef, but Deadbeef's library plugin does not work at all like Foobar's (the later stays updated by monitoring the music folder and shows things by tags, not folder structure). Apparently the Deadbeef plugin is being updated to be more Foobar-like, but it isn't there yet.
