      Honestly, depending on the particulars of how that type of thing fits into the bigger picture, that could unironically be good?

      Physical protests are the most visible form of protest currently, but any way for immunocompromised people and others for whom it’s not safe to be out in the crowd to still contribute is probably a good thing.

      And I’m sure the internet is clever enough to come up with a way to amplify those voices effectively eventually.

      I’m picturing them deploying drones they can zoom call into so they can strike from home and also attack scabs like in The Birds

    I can only imagine the hellish commute a NYT tech worker must endure. Let them work from wherever the fuck they want.

    A half day strike is not enough, telling them ahead of time how long your strike will last is not how to do it.

    I good spam from zoom telling me how to use their tools to better work from home less than a couple of weeks after zoom announced a mandatory return to work policy.
