Why would anyone recommend their company to use Oracle stuff these days? Oracle should give kickbacks to people that recommend to use Oracle Database, Java, or VirtualBox in their company so they’ll keep at it /s

I have to unsubscribe from some of kbin’s magazines because bots constantly posting spam there in past few months. It’s bad. I didn’t know the dev runs double duty as mod as well.

What’s the point of sending traumatized soldiers back to the battlefield? Aren’t they a liability?

Kids used to spam hadouken and kamehameha to each other back then. Not sure what kids these days do though.

The Philippines and Vietnam, which are on the front lines of territorial disputes with China, maintained strong support for the US. In 2023, the US and the Philippines updated their mutual defense treaty and expanded defense cooperation agreements. Vietnam upgraded its bilateral relations with the US and entered into a maritime cooperation agreement with the Philippines in January 2024. ​

I think it’s wild that Vietnam, a communist country, aligns more to US instead of China.

Since both Russia and Ukraine now have prisoners in their military force, how likely it is to have an Ukrainian prisoner serving Russia fighting a Russian prisoner serving Ukraine in the battle field?

They don’t say unlimited, but they also won’t say the limit of their reverse proxy service. It’s intentionally vague.

Regardless of who’s right or wrong in this dispute, it’s just another example of why getting deep into cloud vendor lock in is not great for your company. If you went balls deep into cloudflare’s offering, e.g. using cloudflare workers, kv, cloudflare access, etc, you can’t afford to get kicked out of cloudflare for any reason. What are you gonna do when their sales rep tells you to pay more this year? Refusing is not an option because it’ll screw your company hard.

I always knew my English teacher was impolite.

The CIA played a long game for this one. First, they engineered the global warming, which led to cooler temperature than usual in that region, which led to fogs and low hanging clouds, which caused the crash of the helicopter carrying the president.

There are certain kinds of people that love this kind of tourism. I mean, tourists visit North Korea every year. It might be the thrill of visiting forbidden countries that attracts them.

It’s a famous historical site:

Bamiyan, one of the poorest regions in impoverished Afghanistan, is a popular destination for foreign tourists because it contains Buddhist monastic ensembles and sanctuaries, according to the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

The scenic city was also the spot where the Taliban destroyed two large Buddha statues in March 2001 during their previous rule in Afghanistan. The group said the statues were blasphemous under Islam.

Maybe in the US, but in Asia, a huge portion of sales for Honda, Toyota and Suzuki are for their modified kei cars. Even so, they still don’t seem interested in releasing their electric models there. This gap is currently filled by Chinese EV manufacturers.

They sell slightly modified kei cars in other countries, but not these electric models.

Japanese car manufacturers actually sell a lot of EVs… in Japan. They don’t seem to be interested in selling those mini EVs abroad.

In an order issued on April 24, Additional District Magistrate of Rajouri Rajeev Kumar Khajuria ordered immediate suspension of VPN services in the district as a preventive measure to protect all information related to the ongoing Lok Sabha elections and other sensitive data from cyber attacks.

I still don’t understand why they banned VPN. How banning VPN would protect the election?

If you’re one of a tribe living in the jungle of West Papua, then yeah, it’s basically survival of the fittest there with no electricity or modern amenities. If you’re living in a city then it’s no different than the rest of the region, but with small risks of armed conflict with the separatist group.

Protesters violently storming US capitol

US police: I sleep

US police: real shit

I mean, a huge number of redditors moved here because of reddit enshittification.

Highway, all lanes are completely cut off, at 2 am, with no nearby street lights in sight. Those drivers probably didn’t even see it coming. Even if you’re a drifting god, you probably can’t escape it unless you can jump the guardrails like the speedracer to the opposing lanes. After a pile of burning cars lit the area, people noticed something was off and started slowing down and avoided doom.
