Gee, I wonder why people are generally more productive at home?

I agree, fellow lemming! Let us follow this path together in solidarity.
Who is this Rufus fellow? Is he like Tux?
How is "Business and Financial" not the #1 category? I work in finance and it's so painfully obvious that for every employee that actually does real work on a day-to-day basis there's at least 10 that don't do anything at all. Not even, "this work is not meaningful." I mean, they literally don't do anything; they keep chairs warm and write emails explaining why everything isn't their problem or they stare at every free slot in their calendar every Monday and find ways to micro manage the people that work under them (getting in the way of those people actually doing real work).
I see memes about construction crews where one guy is digging a ditch and there's three other guys hanging back doing nothing and I can't help but think, "that's actually a pretty good ratio!"
Anyone who thinks "big government" is inefficient obviously never worked for a big bank. The regulators assigned to banks are far more on top of things and turn in vastly more real work than 90% of bank employees. In fact, nearly everything in banking and finance is fully automated (when it comes to moving money around, calculating interest, figuring out if someone can get a loan, etc) that at every quarterly shareholder meeting the only ideas that are ever shared in regards to "making more money" are about cutting costs by finding ways to "run leaner" (aka laying more people off).
Mozilla Foundation is kept alive with Google money, for the express purpose of being able to show there’s an alternative and that Chrome is not technically a monopoly.
Circa 1997: Apple, Inc is kept alive with Microsoft money ($150 million), for the express purpose of being able to show there's an alternative and that Windows is not technically a monopoly.

I can't speak for anyone but myself but I recently built a new PC for myself with an AMD Ryzen 7950X. When I was doing research I looked at loads of benchmarks and prices of both AMD and Intel chips and ultimately chose AMD because it offered the best value. Especially when you factor in the power costs over time (eco mode is very impressive and yes, I do run with eco mode enabled).
I'd imagine most folks who build their own PCs go through the same sort of obsessive process, haha.
There's no major issues with either AMD or Intel CPUs on Linux these days so that's not really a factor. I did go the extra mile though to double check that the 2.5GB Ethernet and Wifi chips in the motherboard I chose had excellent Linux support. I also made sure that updating the motherboard BIOS didn't require Windows-only software (turned down one motherboard because of reports of Linux users having bad experiences there).
Home schoolers/child abusers are everywhere.
Note: Not talking about legitimate, regular curriculum, "online school" for kids that can't attend normal school for whatever reason, (e.g. bullying, immunocompromised, etc). I'm referring to religious/cult garbage home schooling stuff that doesn't teach kids much of anything. Parents that put girls through these programs often end them at the fifth or sixth grade (because that's all they need to be "good wives").
So the takeaway from this is that "regret" from gender-affirming mastectomies isn't 1% as often claimed in the media. It's actually 0%:
Literally not a single one of these dudes regretted it.
