Firefox Multi-Account Containers
Firefox Multi-Account Containers divides your browsing into separate color-coded tabs. Allows you to set up proxies and then assign each proxy to a container. Thereafter, each request coming from a particular tab in the container will use the appropriate proxy. electricheat explains, "I use [it] all the time. Either for different accounts, or for having certain tabs use certain proxy configurations."

Mullvad blocked by streaming apps and certain websites
I don't have a solution, but a potential part of a solution. If you're using Firefox, this addon allows to chose different proxies (and hence different IPs) for different containers. Should you find one Mullvad server that works (perhaps one that was recently added), you could make sure that your Netflix container always goes through that server, regardless of what server the app is connected to.

Deleting Software I Wrote Upon Leaving Employment of a Company
> convince management of the value
This presupposes that such convincing is even possible. Many, many companies have leadership that are simply terrible at identifying value. If you've never been part of a majority of developers advocating for, if not outright begging for, some huge ROI initiative to get the green light, you are very fortunate.
There are great counterexamples, like Valve, which is known for giving developers an extreme degree of autonomy, and they benefit greatly from that approach. For each Valve, though, there are dozens of companies that manage to succeed despite themselves.
Take Microsoft, for example. One tiny, yet representative, example: the way the Windows Terminal team handled a suggestion from Casey Muratori to take their software from abysmally slow to lightning fast:
https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10362
A quote from one of the Terminal developers, dismissing the suggestion:
> I believe what you’re doing is describing something that might be considered an entire doctoral research project in performant terminal emulation as “extremely simple” somewhat combatively…
Just how difficult was such an endeavor in actuality? Well, given that Casey implemented his own terminal emulator from scratch and incorporated the functionality he was proposing in a mere weekend... not a whole lot. Relatively minor effort for a huge return on investment. It took Casey explaining the concepts, then providing a working proof of concept, and finally a bunch of backlash online towards the Terminal team to get them to do the right thing for themselves and their users.

A glimpse into the universe where Windows died with the 1980s
At this point ConHost.exe is open source [0] so it is maybe not a stretch to expect Microsoft to open source CMD.EXE at some point.
Though with PowerShell being cross-platform and already open source, I personally don't think there's enough to gain in some sort of better open source CMD.EXE fork. I'd be interested in being proved wrong on that, but I'm also happy enough with PowerShell these days I'm not in a hurry to return to CMD.EXE.

Windows 11 looks to be getting a key Linux tool added in the future
"Users of Linux and macOS may well be familiar with the sudo command, used regularly in the terminal, and it looks like Windows may finally be getting its own version."
More Linux tools are coming to Windows, especially Windows Server because the tools are good and they make it easier to administer a Windows Server.
They are looking at adding a default TUI text editor (https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/discussions/16440) and now they are adding sudo.
I would not be surprised if systemd or something like it gets ported or reinvented for Windows simply because it makes managing services so nice.

On Being Listed as an Artist Whose Work Was Used to Train Midjourney
>We are allowed to view and consume it, to be influenced by it, and under many circumstances even outright copy it.
People keep saying this but it's actually much more complicated, and in many cases you can't view copyrighted content.
An example, MicroSoft employees are not permitted to view or learn from an open source (GPL-2) terminal emulator:
https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10462#issuecomm...
Another example is proprietary software that may have it's source available, either intentionally or not. If you view this and then work on something related to it, like WINE for example, you are definitely at risk of being successfully sued.
If you worked at MicroSoft and worked on Windows, you would not be able to participate in WINE development at all without violating copyright.
If you viewed leaked Windows source code you also would not be able to participate in WINE development.
An interesting question that I have, is whether training on proprietary, non-trade-secret sources would be allowed. Something like unreal engine, where you can view the source but it's still proprietary.
