  • You already kinda said it—this is a problem with the relationship with your boss, not with the book.

    With my boss, I can just say, "Honestly, this one was a miss for me. I appreciate the recommendation, and I wanted to give it a chance, but I didn't find much actionable substance in it. What did you get out of it?"

    If you don't feel like you can do that, have a conversation with him about how he likes to receive feedback. If the answer is "he doesn't," it might be time to go boss shopping. But I doubt that will be the case.

  • I wonder this same thing about my company. The only rational theory I've heard - which is completely unconfirmed - is that they aren't willing to sell the building because it's still needed for the IT team and a few other purposes, but need a certain occupancy level to not be penalized on their taxes.

  • "MothBookkeeper is the dictator of the world, and I completely trust his decisions."

    Nevermind the logistics of that; power lives where people believe it does.

    Then I could make multiple beneficial changes, such as:

    • Heavily taxing the rich
    • Enacting drastic climate policy
    • Banning paper stickers that rip as you try to take them off
    • Sending Mitch McConnell on a rocket into the sun
  • Right, because Gs are never pronounced with a "J" sound, and acronyms are never pronounced differently than their full terms. Sound logic there; well done. Never mind any of these:

    NASA- National Aeronautics Space Uhdministration

    NATO- North Ayy-tlantic Treaty Organization

    LASER- Light Ayy-mplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

    SCUBA- Self Contained Oonderwater Breathing Uhpparatus

    FOMO- Fear ohhf missing ohht

    ASAP- Ayys soon ayys possible

    POC- People ohhf solor

    PIN- Personal id-entification number

    BOGO- Buy ohhn get ohhn

    POTUS- President ohhf the Uhhnited States

    YOLO- You only live ohhnce

    AWOL- Ayy-bsent without awfficial leave

    ICE- Eyemmigration and Sustoms Enforcement

    DARE- Drug Ayybuse Resistance Education

  • Sync for Reddit was a popular-ish third-party Reddit app. The dev has been working on building a version of it for Lemmy, and the surrounding community has been pretty excited for it. Recently, Sync for Lemmy was released, and there's been a lot of fanfare, conversation, etc. In my opinion, it's the most polished Lemmy client by far. Some people are annoyed that the premium features cost significantly more than they did in Sync for Reddit. The dev said it's to offset the smaller user base, which seems reasonable to me, but it's spurred a lot of arguments about the paid model.

  • This seems like a bit of a strawman argument. I haven't seen anyone say that explicitly—if they have, it certainly isn't common. I have seen people say they're willing to pay for a "higher quality app," and I can see how you could interpret the implication there being that FOSS apps are shitty in comparison. For me, though, I don't interpret it the same way, and I'd assume positive intent. Some people like Sync better than the other apps and are willing to pay for it. That's it, really.

    What do you think would happen if there were a type of bear that never killed or seriously injured people, but instead slapped them in the face?
