I take issue with the article's assertion that it's a "sneaky payrise" as if it's somehow dishonest.

I've done this before after accumulating several years worth of leave due to a previous employer having strange ideas about project management and the mythical man-month.

I suppose I was kind of pressured into it, but I also liked having a pseudo-bonus that year.

Weird! I'm using Fennec (a fork of Firefox for Android) and I get a paywall every time! I wonder if they have some criteria or maybe something in my stack is triggering it (I have everything from uBlock to Tracker Control to PiHole blocking stuff ๐Ÿ˜†).

Interestingly, on desktop (Firefox) I'm not getting the paywall! But desktop mode on mobile does paywall me, but mobile mode on desktop doesn't. I don't know what their criteria are ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Gestures broadly at a giant pile of crap JavaScript.
