I got a "only 0.9% of users reach this achievement" message on Duolingo the other day. I was sick, bumming around the house bored and feeling icky, so I did a ton of lessons and hit a xp-earned-in-a-day milestone.

Yeah, I had media literacy sprinkled in starting as early as I could read.
I remember an early exercise. There were a bunch of statements I had to identify as either fact or opinion. I incorrectly said "Going to the beach is fun" is a fact.
Fast forward to high school where I had a teacher who took more points off for writing statements without robust sources. And in university where they were on a plagiarism rampage to make sure every word was properly attributed.

Never had an employer that cares about what I do with my free time nor how optimized it is.
The question is what a person might offer as an employer, not what benefit a person might like to have as an employee.
Paying money for a behavior is an incentive for that behavior.
Does that mean every employee would choose to live far away to maximize their commuter mileage benefit? No.
Does that mean some barriers to living far away would be reduced, thus increasing odds that some employees would live further away, or that some prospective employees that live at distance would consider applying to this company over a company that doesn't offer a commuter mileage benefit? Yes.
Companies also aren't worried employees "would spend most of their weeks driving". Most companies don't include drive time as hours worked.
Employees living far away is not something I would want to incentivize for so many reasons.
Across everyone in the house, we have Hulu, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Disney/ESPN. Sailing the high seas means all the shows and movies available from those servicea can be accessed via one media server interface.
Every once in a while I log into Amazon Video to see if their interface is as hot trash as I remember. It always is.
Full remote.
I actually like going into the office ~2x per week. But tell me I have to and bump it to 4 days, I'm out. I also do not want my colleagues forced on site. My current ~2x/week is as productive as it is because the other people going on site now are there voluntarily and for specific reasons.

That looks delicious. Thanks!
I played around with Friendica and Mastadon years ago, then forgot about them until reddit enshittified this year.
"I'm pretty certain he has already publicly apologized though."
Feel free to share evidence of the public apology, you seem to be remembering something no one else saw. All I'm seeing is him making excuses, no apology.
Nah, some Catholica do. Some are pissed a Jesuit priest, among the most progressive of orders, is the pope.
Also, his word isn't as binding as you think unless he speaks ex cathedra, which no Pope has done in decades outside canonizing saints. The pope can say all he wants about gay marriage or global warming or whatever, it's not binding unless he says it ex cathedra and it will be a cold day in hell before he does something like that. It would split the church apart immediately.
