“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.

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

Either retail park or industrial estate in the UK, depending on if most of the businesses are retail/shops or not

You could look at setting up a discord bridge on the matrix server to bridge messages between the two. Pine64 have had something like that for quite a while on their discord & matrix.

Also echoing what's been said already, I did initially think this was some air pods style product from Pine64, as they prefix almost anything they make with Pine

I know this is (probably) a joke, but there's a modern reverse engineered version: https://github.com/k4zmu2a/SpaceCadetPinball
Someone's also packaged it for Flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.k4zmu2a.spacecadetpinball

Until they randomly ban you and shut down your free services
