I went with EUPLv1.2 for betterbranch because it closes the SaaS loophole and embraces software interoperability.

jfmt and BetterBranch: unexpected reach | Ben’s Build and B(r)ass Notes
jfmt and BetterBranch got shared, packaged, and discussed in places I did not expect, which reminded me that tiny tools can travel surprisingly far.

The apps I developed in my company run on #Java 25, #JakartaEE 11.
Those who say "enterprise banking" or #fintech is slow and lagging behind needs to explain this to me.
Automation and great #IBM support definitely helps, but it is 99% the mindset of those in charge. Prove me wrong. 🤷🏻♂️

Im besten Fall sinken die Steuereinnahmen 2028 dann wieder, wenn die Hersteller reagieren und die Rezepturen anpassen. Denn das ist ja der eigentliche Sinn der Sache.

Das schlimmste an der #Rentenreform ist gar nicht einmal, dass sie im Kapitalmarkt investiert.
Das schlimmste ist, dass sie 30-40 Jahre zu spät kommt.
Das Umlagesystem war eine Notlösung, weil der 1. WK die Rentenkassen geplündert hat. Das ging eine Zeit lang ganz gut.
