I've always felt like Google Ads is unclear about how they set their CPCs. Why not to clearly show who pays what in a clear transparent way? Do they have something to hide?


Yes, search results are quite crappy. They are based on guessing your search intent and return results that are likely to cause you to leave the Google search page. That's why Google often shows you a "salad" of different links to guess what you're looking for.


You're absolutely right. Big corporations don't like remote work and don't want to enhance it. Tech enthusiasts is the only hope for improvement in this area. The good news is that there are innovative projects that can significantly enhance remote work. I suggest trying MeetingGlass - video meetings through virtual frosted glass. This tool can make it easier for both employer and employees meet via video on a fair terms without violating prvacy.


I use MeetingGlass and I feel good.


Because inflationary fascism rules the world.


If your problem is to keep the focus while the agent is doing his work, then try the app called Black Screen. It has a nice attention refresh feature that allows you to see random photos for a few seconds. It makes waiting less boring and does not suck your attention into itself as social media does.


I've had the problem of eye tension for many years. That is why I made an app called Black Screen that blacks out all the monitor screens on pressing the key. It really helps me, especially when I am at work behind my multiple screen workstation.


Any such app/util for iPhone / Android?


There's a dedicated button for turning of the display on every iPhone model, all Android phones I owned had one too. Usually on the right side


Well :) - was looking for something more automated and on schedule. Not subjected to human forgetfulness !!.


Thank you! Feel free to try the extensions and let me know what you think.


> It used to be totally non-controversial and completely validated by direct personal experience that only a minority of the population is built to work remotely.

I disagree with this. I beleive we just need better tools to support comfortable remote work. Big corporations are not interested in researching and developing such tools. And new innovative remote work tools like Virtual Frosted Glass (https://meetingglass.com/) have not yet gained widespread adoption.


Totally agree. Open source is also a way for big corporations to kill competition. It is used as a noble cover for a price war - extreme price reduction to zero. Open source must be followed by the demand of not for profit use only! If any piece of open source code is used then a whole product/service must be made free. Only then can open source be honest.

That's not how most software licenses work, in reality.
