   "find all sorts of minutia & excuses" Usually those are in there to be found and used. Your energy would be better spent being upset with the politicians for putting it in there than the lawyers for finding it.

   Yes, and I think that should be illegal. My point is that it would be more productive to focus on fixing the system than just getting angry at companies for "cheating".

   I really wish people would stop seeing large companies paying low taxes as cheating and "loop holes". It is neither and it makes us blind to the cause of the problem. The politicians we vote in deliberately create laws that allow

   Thanks, I have never heard the term “political zones” before, so I made an assumption.

   UTC offset is way more useful than those 3-4 character timezone abbreviations. Just have a look at the list from Wikipedia [1] and notice how many repeats there are. As an example AMT could be either UTC+4 or UTC-4. And this doesn't ev

   I have never ever seen "plausible deniability" keep someone out of trouble. I have seen attempts at applying it several times, but never successfully. As an excuse for why to not do the right thing I really hate "plausible de

   I think there are ways of solving number 1. Maybe if the company was bound to opensource the code a few years after release or under certain circumstances.

    The problem really is a lack of solutions that just work with no setup required. The only two environments I have used where things just worked were VB.NET using Visual Studio while at uni and Dart using the IDE/editor they bundled in

    Off topic: I once ordered a cheeseburger and got a “burger” without a beef patty or any other kind of meat, not even the veggie pretend meat. Just bread, sauce, pickles and a single slice of cheese. I felt pretty disappointed with that “che

    Interesting, I could see using fossil for public projects if the pull requests gets implemented. Currently I only use it for private projects. So my top wish list feature would be basic CI.

    I use it for any personal projects that are large enough that I want a few pages of documentation and a ticket system to keep track of planned features. The ticket system can be configured quite a bit, so I usually set it up like a todo lis

    I can see it being very useful for events, call centers, or any kind of operations center where you want a lot of screens.

    Cool, I have subscribed. You should probably also add it to Apple podcasts. (edit: I added it as an issue on github) About using the Github wiki for articles, I think you would be better off having the actual content on your own domain. It

    Thanks for explaining it. It's however still annoying and could use a better design.

    Yep, Microsoft login experience has been getting worse over the years. The current one I go through for Office 365 is like this: - type in email, click "next" - wait for next page to load - type in password, click "ne

    We used Discord at work for team chat for about a month before upper management found out and dictated that everyone use Teams because it's free as part of Office 365. Discord worked so well for everyone on different platforms and Team

    Well that would be sad. Discord is so much better than Teams. I hope they don't integrate it with the Microsoft stack.

    There is no way I could have convinced the people I have to use a password manager without the browser extension. So for those people it was either same password on all sites or a password manager with a browser extension.

    I feel like it would be easier and cheaper to negotiate a support contract with Manas (Crystal) than with Google (Go, Dart) if your company wants paid support.

    Kinda depends upon if it is educational, informational or entertainment. I never use podcasts to just fill out the background, I generally use heavy metal music for that. I tend to either remember how/where to find the information agai

    Sure, they keep getting some words wrong all the time, but it is likely good enough to get the general subject of what a podcast is about.

    Not every format is for everyone. I personally listen to podcasts or audio books every day when driving and in my lunch break.

    Have you actually tried searching "Ship It" on a podcast platform? There is absolutely zero chance that I can find the correct one without knowing what the thumbnail looks like. Search results in order: - I Ship It - Ship It

    You could always write your own password manager if you are that paranoid.
