Good news everyone! We all DO have this problem... It's just most obvious in China because they industrialized and urbanized more rapidly than anyone else AND had this stupid legal policy.

Industrialization, urbanization and improving healthcare also significantly drops births, to below the replacement rate of 2.1. The whole world is on this path, with China, Japan, South Korea, Germany and Russia leading the way.

Copy the file and paste it into anywhere you can enter text... you get the path to the file as text.

Travel between worksites is on the clock.

We've demonstrated for years now that home is a worksite.

I'm happy to drive in to the company office from my personal office, so long as my commute time is on the clock.

Eroding that boundary can also be in your favor... I can step away from the desk for a few minutes to start my laundry, prep something for dinner, or even just go to the grocery store during "lunch" because I can bring the food straight back home since I'm not far away from home at an office. Working remotely is giving me back time. And this isn't time "lost" from the employer's perspective... I'm just doing something useful with my break times rather than wandering down to the water-cooler to chat with other employees.

The trick is to allow only the erosion that you find acceptable. That's a matter of personal organization and self-control, and each person has to set up a system that works best for them. I use a spare bedroom as my office, and I only go in there during working hours. Everything work-related stays in there.

Brave essentially has done this all along.

I really want to switch to Linux as my main gaming/production OS but need the Adobe suite

That's not a hurdle... that's a wall.

If your livelihood depends on running a Windows-only application, run it on a Windows computer.

You are, of course, free to also have a Linux computer for everything else. Use a KVM switch to toggle between them, or something like Synergy or Barrier to pass the mouse/keyboard/clipboard between both PCS. Share the storage between them over your network.

Can it be done? Yes.

Can it be done in a reliable way that you can depend on to always just work when you need it? No.

If you are completely dependent on Adobe products for your livelihood, you should not plan to work exclusively on Linux.

The portion of managers which don't actually contribute anything to productivity don't have much to do if everyone is at home.

Do you have any antivirus recomendations for Linux.

Install all applications from your package manager.

Don't run things as root.

Don't visit sketchy websites.

Run an ad-blocker that isn't owned by an advertising company.

Google drive integrates simply into the file manager on Gnome for cloud storage. It doesn't do offline file-sync between devices, however.

The Microsoft and Apple products don't support Linux because... Microsoft and Apple.

That’s great, right up until Ring unilaterally decides to...

Which is a completely different topic than the one I quoted. The article said that equipment owners shouldn't be able to provide their videos to the police without the police first getting a warrant, which is an utterly ridiculous position to take.

OBVIOUSLY the police should have a warrant to get the video without the equipment owner's permission, but that's not what the author said.

But it also allows Ring owners to send videos they've captured with their Ring video doorbell cameras and outdoor security cameras to law enforcement. (...) If a crime has been committed, law enforcement should obtain a warrant to access civilian video footage.

This is utter nonsense... Anyone is free to voluntarily provide their own pictures and video to the police. A warrant is so that police can come and take it from you against your will.
