I read some of your twits but could find the source for that, do you publish it?

Generally yes if you don't want your vacation quota to get reduced.

In my country we get paid 80% of our usual pay on sick days prescribed by doctor.

We also can get an appointment online and get that sick day. We can also get sick days up to 3 days prior.

Also you can get a sick day if your kid is sick.

Holidays are on top of vacations so they shouldn't be counted .

What countries? Above peoplemwrote about Germany.and didn't mention such strange limit of first few days. Also in Poland there is no such thing. You can have a sick leave for 1 day and you get paid the same amount as if you get 3 weeks - 80% of your salary.

Sick days as other wrote is prescribe by a doctor. It doesn't have a limit (e.g. .y college broke his leg and was on sick leave for 1.5 year). And his vacation time accumulated, he didn't use his 26 days first year so the next he had 52 days to use.

Sick leave in my country is not full paid, it is 80%, so people are not that keen on getting it if not needed. On the other hand they are not hit that dramatically if they are sick.

Old games have big sales, 90% range.

Well at least steam ones.

Spore had that feature that allowed max 3 installs from disc.

So disc or not doesn't really matter.

This is incremental. This change is the smallest possible one that could work. There are more coming in later.

No manufacturers might suggest prices, they can't set them, not in any sensible country.

If they do, they do it secretly and when governments find about that they are going to receive a big fine, together with shops that colluded with them.

Enterprise users are price sensitive, because they are charged per token (and have limit per user set by companies, and those limits are different from $50 per month to 1500$ per month). Subscription users might be insensitive to that.

It is breaking competition.

Would you like all products everywhere be priced like their producers want?

If it doesn't give penalty for refusal it is not that useful.

> Its 2026, there is no need for a proprieraty IDE that is stuck in the early 2000s.

This is the best IDE for Java. And it is nowhere near 2000s, it is modern and the best one can use for Java.

I was a bit afraid that MUD was an acronym for something else, I clicked in about 10% hope that this will be for multi user dungeons and behold, thank you. Interesting read.

That brought back memories when we were trying to find free terminal in few departments at our uni to get access to one that has internet connectivity.
