Pdf has a mind-bogging array of features, which make it so entrenched in the corporate world with no viable replacements at the moment. Things like forms where users can fill them out and submit (surprisingly a popular feature), cryptographic signing to prevent tampering, DRM, etc. Heck, I think you can even add JavaScript code to a pdf.

What do you mean? Can’t you see all those innovations in the ads and tracking industry?

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

Thank you for the correction!

Every once in a while security researchers would discover sophisticated exploits that would allow malwares to take over your computer via multimedia files, but those are actually rarely exploited in the wild by run off the mill malwares.

Unless you’re an important person being targeted by hackers and three letter agencies, your biggest source of threat is running infected programs from untrusted sources, e.g. cracks downloaded from random torrents or warez sites, shady sites serving ads that trick you to run some executables, etc.

Lemmy has a lot more contributors and eyes digging into its codebase now compared to 2021 so I think this is very unlikely to happen.

I may not agree with the devs political view, but I think their work developing lemmy is excellent and made me subscribe to monthly donation on opencollective. Lemmy is an open source project where the devs have absolutely no say over how the software being used, as evidenced by so many lemmy instances defederating from lemmygrad and lemmy.ml. Their political belief won’t affect other instance.

They probably mean the .ml part.

Iirc they already validate licence online long before going subscription only.

Did it covered by warranty though? I’m probably ok with the foldable screen cracking every once in a while as long as the warranty fully covers it every time it happens.

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.

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.

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.

Transreflective lcd doesn’t look great though, especially when viewed at angles, or when the room is bright enough to light the reflective layer but dark enough to require the backlight.

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.

It would be very inconvenient if you time it well, e.g. when they’re playing games beside you and you see them about to land a decisive blow.

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.
