The Guardian says Google knew about wage theft in 2019 and opted for a cover-up. I'd put something about the "dark side" here, but that's elsewhere in the newsletter

Indeed, that was the slogan.. A while ago.

Currently it seems to be "Do mo(re) evil".
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The services of a good leader is an important gap that development teams desperately need filled. However, very few managers know how to properly serve software development teams. I'm not your employee, you're my manager

That's the full Sith mantra, yes. I just chose the first bit of Yoda's quote on it[^].
But now that I think of your fix, you're right - Dark mode does eventually lead to suffering

More than two million web servers worldwide are still running on outdated and vulnerable versions of Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) software according to research from CyberNews. Good thing no one attacks those
The good news is that most of them seem to be pirated copies of Windows?
Or it could just be that people are still arguing over whether IIS stands for Internet Information Services or Server.
