 Listening to Dave Ramsey protest remote work the same way The Donald did, the lion kingdom noted it's consistently people in the business of office real estate who do it.  As usual, he credits "surveys" & says it's the 3rd time remote work has been tried.  It really depends on the kind of job.

As expected, the easiest job leads today have all returned to requiring commuting again.  It's only the toughest leads, the top 1% who are getting remote work, as it was before.  They're not continuing the perks they did a year ago if it's not a national emergency.

There were a lot of millennials complaining about the loss of their urban culture & office rituals, complaining about having to be home with their kids.  At the same time, they left the cities in droves, became extremely wealthy by not paying rent, bought houses at record young ages.  Do as they say, not as they do.

 Generation X couldn't have imagined becoming financially independent by moving back in with their parents, being able to work from 500 miles away & buying houses by age 30.  Today's boom in home owership & financial independence is a generational  phenomenon, from a generation no-one expected to become very wealthy based on their claims of putting lifestyle over getting ahead.  Do as they say, not as they do.

A movie still immortalized in a car badge.  The guy who programmed that animation on a computer, in 1986, in logo or turtle graphics, couldn't have imagined where it would end up.

Lions could only dream of having a $140,000 car parked & never driven instead of having a $15,000 car parked & never driven.  $15,000 is a low price for a used car, nowadays, with almost everything on the road now $140,000 & above.

Lions just can't believe how long it takes a raspberry pi 1B to start its default window manager OpenBox, compared to starting FVWM.

Surely a lion who still runs fvwm in these days would run

GEOS on a good old framebuffer or

C64 BASIC V2 on top of a character buffer.  There was no hardware polygon drawing, only hardware character drawing.  No hardware was needed beyond writing pixels & characters.  But fvwm on X11 occupies a special place, being just functional enough & not too functional for 99% of normal use.  

GEOS in 1988 was too functional.  No-one needed a drawing of a stack of pages, animated page flipping, or icons.  FVWM (1993) was based on TWM (1987), which was based on UWM (1985).  There wasn't a chronological increase in complexity.  Xerox Alto (1973) was already somewhere between 1983 & 1985 in features.  The UNIX window managers were always purpose driven until they started chasing valuations in the 2000's.

Lions once stripped down their raspberry pi's to use them just for ingesting webcam data & communicating over a serial port.  Now that they're interested in having a GUI, either to use them as picture frames or displaying books, there is a quest to reinstall the HDMI ports.  Never remove fine pitch ports.

Interestingly, standard, mini, & micro HDMI ports have the same number of pins & the same signals: 3 twisted pair data lines for video, 1 twisted pair clock for video, I2C lines (SDA, SCL), a single wire UART (CEC/DDC), single wire ethernet (HEC).  There are many interpretations of what the I2C, CEC, & HEC pins are for & even whether HEC is a differential pair or single ended.  It takes a lawyer these days to figure out the true meaning of consumer standards.
