Millimetres, centimetres, who needs orders of magnitude? It’s great to hear this robot was able to pick up the 5km long piece of gravel the size of a small rodent

Why are you altering the dead in the first place? Leave them be, they’re dead

Windows can support BTRFS with an unofficial driver:

I’ve used it without issues, so world recommend it as long as you’re aware of the disclaimer:

You use this software at your own risk. I take no responsibility for any damage it may do to your filesystem. It ought to be suitable for day-to-day use, but make sure you take backups anyway.

“Copyright holders who initiated the blocking are required to monitor the blocked websites to ensure they still meet the criteria for blocking. If the conditions are no longer met, they must inform the Clearing House, which then notifies the ISPs to lift the block,”

They have no incentive to monitor and unblock them, it would just be more work (and therefore cost them more) to do this. When the list of blocked sites isn’t even public, there’s no way for them to be held to account unless someone sets up a service to check - just like this student did.

Samsung/Android/Google Pay/Wallet thing never gained traction despite having access to the chip is exactly what we’ll see if the chip just get opened up free for all.

You realise that in the UK and a lot of other countries people mainly pay by contactless and while you can do that with just your bank card, many link it to Google/Apple pay in their phone? The Amex UK app used to offer their own implementation as well for contactless payment, but they also supported Google pay/wallet so eventually decided to drop their Amex app implementation of contactless payments and just told people to use Google pay. Don’t equate them not gaining traction in your country with that being the case in general, especially if you’re from the US, where banking technology seems to be 15-20 years behind a lot of the time.

Come on. Just admit this is all really bad satire.

I saw a post where the MBFC bot checked MBFC’s bias, unsurprisingly they were least biased, high credibility and very high rating for factual reporting

No idea, didn’t do anything wrong and they were fine with it all until they suddenly closed my account. I too would like to know what I did wrong.

They disabled my account without any notice, I tried to login to see why my VM wasn’t responding and found they’d deactivated Oracle cloud services. It’s also difficult to get in touch with support as there’s multiple different portals and with the cloud services disabled I struggled to find a way to raise a relevant ticket. When they eventually responded they gave some generic BS about their ToS.

My suggestion for anyone using Oracle free tier is stay on it if you want, but be prepared for the eventuality that they shut everything down without notice or access to your data.

Make sure you have backups, they randomly shut mine down after a couple of years

I would go for a distro that has relatively recent/up to date packages, especially for Linux kernel and power-profiles-daemon, as these will work better with the CPU than packages from 6-12 months ago

Wait, you guys privatized your mail service?!

Yep, tories like to privatise everything even if it will make things worse or end so badly it needs to be renationalised
