Yeah, doubt I know any more than you, I've been meaning to move off lemmy.one due to his absence, but only recently got around to setting up an account on another instance.

Lemmy.one recently had an error loading posts, but it seems like it might be working again after a few days. The admin seems to have been active recently on Mastodon, but this isn't the first extended period of him being MIA from Lemmy, if it wasn't for the fact that the instance seems to be on the latest version of Lemmy and working again, I would have said that it was abandoned and likely to break permanently at some point.

“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.

Yeah, but if OP actually plans to try and add all the ideas that are suggested then there's already a lot of difficult requests. One or more cats should be easy to add into pretty much any game, even if it's a text-based couch co-op sci-fi dungeon crawler with realistic ship controls.

It shows the bundle with a US VPN, but I'm not sure if you'll have trouble trying to redeem them with Kobo, not sure what sort of verification they might do.

Bundle is US only according to the page:

This bundle is only available to those in the US.

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.
