I've began implementing Webmention on my blog just this week after seeing it in action at EmacsConf - it's a good sign to see it also syndicated here not long after. I hope many more adopt it, it's a great idea. The talk in q

Indeed, I'm using Emacs for Code, reading/writing documents and emails, as well as consuming RSS feeds. The ecosystem and values that underpin Emacs are fantastic - in my personal case the only downside to heavy use of Emacs is th

One similarly ignored bug that springs to mind is the performance of the "Send To" context menu item in File Explorer. I always dreaded dragging my mouse over it by accident.

Yes, when replying to my general comment, you shouldn't use the typical conservative rhetorical tactic of using the specific to ridicule the principle. I was making a general argument about the pattern one can see across the economy. T

Competition isn't allowed to flourish when the market leaders use their runaway profits to buy up any and all possible contenders. My point is that this exact process can be seen across our economy, because anti-competitive behaviour i

Capitalism optimises for monopolies. Everyone agrees on this - this is why we have antitrust mechanisms. Unfortunately, they tend to facilitate and reinforce the problem instead of combat it. My comment is a general one on markets at large,

Exactly. Managers are there to facilitate people and communication, business leaders are there to facilitate capital and strategic vision, engineers actually make the thing and master the detail in the process. Good businesses learn to list
