It's also inherently capitalist. Maybe profiteering would've been a better word? As I stated above, I have no problem with people getting paid for their work. He can charge whatever the hell he wants.
Well so far everything on lemmy has run on the goodwill of instance owners, lemmy maintainers, and app developers working for free. Sync as far I can tell is the only thing so far to bring an openly capitalist approach to lemmy, and it depends on the free hosting that instance owners are providing. I don't have any problems with people wanting paid for their work. However, I can see how it's a little jarring to see an app charge such a subscription fee while some big instances are struggling with hosting costs and likely pulling in much less in donations.
But people are definitely less productive working from home, and I think the people who say that most people are more productive are delusional
Except pretty much every study done on this has said the exact opposite. I am much more productive when I'm home. My team is much more productive when working from home and hard data backs it up. I literally cannot think of one thing about the office that I miss or made me more productive.
I've started playing through older games that I missed back in the day. About to finish Warhammer 40k Space Marine, also playing through Kingdoms of Amular: Re-reckoning. Both have been super enjoyable. I also picked up Forsaken since it was on sale but the MC was so annoying and the game was so insistent on showing you boring cutscene after cutscene that I stopped about 5 hours in.
