When programming software we use UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) which is basically just GMT.

As someone in the UK, I am very happy for the world to start using UTC too πŸ˜‚

GTA going woke?

It boggles my mind that so many people don't realise the entire GTA franchise is a satire of American culture, by the Scottish development studio. It's always been liberal.

That's what I read too. And I was born and raised in England 😳

You mean Vauxhall, right? 😜

Opel, Vauxhall & Holden have mostly the same cars with different badges in different regions

Not the same. Actually reading the new testament and about what Jesus did and stood for, compared to what the church was teaching, is what actually got me thinking for myself and eventually becoming an atheist.

The 'teachings' of LRon Hubbard on the other hand, are JUST bad ideas, badly interpreted (or manipulated), wrapped up in a fancy bow for those too naive or vulnerable to spot there issues (ok, so that's where the similarities remain)

Watching Bun 1.0 release closely, as seems to be helping move web development much closer to that goal. Fingers crossed.

I can't believe that article is on Reuters. Much of the writing is awful.
