My work has software installed on our laptops that will force microbreaks and it was the most annoying thing ever. You'll be halfway into writing an email and MICROBREAK. Doing a presentation over teams and MICROBREAK. Come back from being away from your desk for 20 mins, touch the mouse and instantly MICROBREAK!
So they finally made it all optional. And 90% of the comments on the news page were basically what I just wrote... but that other 10%... Oh my god. "This is gigantic mistake." "This is going to cause so many RSI injuries." This needs to be mandatory for all employees, our company does not care about our safety!" Keep in mind, they can re-enable it for themselves!
Thank you random employees who know nothing about my health background trying to enforce medical decisions on me.

During his speech tonight announcing retaliatory tariffs on US products, Justin Trudeau resurrected the pandemic era slogan "we're all in this together" [1].
Surprised he didn't throw a "two weeks to flatten the (demand) curve" in there.
God, I revile this person more than almost anything.

Seems like the Trump admin is purging the FBI. They've also already offered to all fed employees a buyout to retire, took away security clearance from some agents, they've stopped all funding to international NGOs which work to promote and facilitate mass immigration, or push liberal propaganda in foreign countries, or promote abortion, meanwhile the FCC is investigating some liberal networks, and foreign aid to most countries is frozen and being investigated. All this and It hasn"t even been 2 weeks.
I thought the Biden admin was being paranoid by pardoning all their people before Trump took over, but now I see why, Trump 2.0 is starting off very different than Trump 1.0.
I'm not making a judgement btw, I'm just saying this is interesting.
