  • There is no level of productivity boost that can make up for months of actual absence lol

    You are absent for half a year. After that you are 20% more productive. After three years the employer will have made a profit on that time investment.

    Or you go back to work straight away, you are constantly tired, you are constantly stressed. You make mistakes causing delays and damages in the hundreds of thousands, that you would not make otherwise…


  • Aside from the obvious fact that you should ne there for your partner and child, paternity leave is both economically sound for your employer and the economy as a whole.

    It will mean a healthier child with better relationships to his parents. This will improve his/her performance in school, reduce the likelyhood of problematic behaviour requiring interventions and later the likelyhood of criminal activity.

    So your child will likely be a more productive and reliable grown up eventually and you will have less stress as parents, which also improves your productivity.



  • Because i can search by author, type of content, communities, timeframe and keywords.

    But also i dont get your argument from the logical basis of it. Reddit did not write the Lemmy code. There is no relation as to why the reddit search function should be an indicator of how the lemmy search function works.

    You are asking why George shouldnt also be better in math than Lisa, because Jon is better in math than Robert. Just that Lisa and Robert are in completely different schools in different countries.




  • This isn’t a destroy a corporation thing, it’s a make Lemmy win over Reddit thing.

    I don’t think we will get any further here. If you cannot see why Lemmy should be more than just “win over Reddit” i dont think anything will convince you. The problems of enshittification are hitting all aspects of the Internet and companies like Google and Microsoft are a major part of it and undoubtedly more problematic than reddit.

    Again as i said, we should not focus on destroying corporations or any other external negative thing, but instead on building a positive version of the internet, so focus on a positive internal goal. Cooperating with the organizations who fundamentally oppose this vision of the internet is not going to help that.


  • Duckduckgo uses Bing for its index, so we run into the same problem with Microsoft.

    Think about the steps involved. First Lemmy servers make all data available to these companies. Now these companies can exploit this data fully. But the next step, it leading to lemmy results being featured on their website is no guarantee. They can just keep it low.

    And i dont care about Lemmy being larger than reddit. It is not just about reddit. It is about fundamentally creating a space thriving for a positove vision of how the internet should be. Handing influence to Google and Microsoft is fundamentally opposed to that.

    Finally, reddit is destroying itself. Why should we compromise ourselves, when we can just watch reddit burning itself down, while more and more people join us?


  • I’d rather have a stable growth and these resources being accessible to the community, than to have google make money off of it, who is actively engaged in destroying open spaces and enshittify them.

    Google doesnt care for traffic to Lemmy. Google cares for making money off the data they can grab. Not giving them the data directly is the only way to oppose them.

    Your idea is to finance the war by selling weapons to your enemy, to use this metaphor of yours.






  • The other day a colleague send me the pdf of some documentation standard he uses. In the media section it recommendee using HD Floppy discs with 1.44MB as all computers have a ready drive for it. CDs were described as being written with a special tool and then readable by a special laser drive, but suitable for long term data storage…

    Today i had to ask a 15 year old, if he is familiar with CDs, because chance is most notebooks stopped having CD drives by the time he learned to read.
