“Just imagine no commute to the office in the morning and instead, you could have an extra hour of sleep and less friction.” You mean, like folks had while working from home? It blows my mind that this isn’t an article on The Onion. https://gizmodo.com/google-invites-employees-to-sleep-on-campus-for-a-fee-1850709102

There's been a lot of spilled pixels, but I guess all-in-all, I just want the Internet — the Web, especially — back. I want "app" to mean "application," not "platform." I want links, not embeds. I want writing, art, and code to flourish, not "content." I want 10 MB on my janky little ISP to call my own, not "cloud-scale." I want to copy and paste my own stuff, not "export" it. I want one-off cgi-bin weirdnesses, not monolithic frameworks.
