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.

Arch Linux is the same as the other day I think I will be in the office tomorrow so I can do it for you and you will be able to get it on the way to the office

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.

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
