    So I have a question for YouTube Premium haters:

    How is this any different than what most people pay for both another music service and another video service? It's about half the cost of other music + video services (when combined), even with the increased pricing over the years. I've been paying for YouTube Premium since the awkward Google Play Music transition and it's a bargain, especially when I had my student discount at like $4.99 a month.

    It's not this single thing. Just go look at battle net forums or Reddit. It's nothing but complaining about departures from D2/D3 systems.

    I was completely unaware that anybody was unhappy with the game until I went to report a bug on the D4 battle net forum and I was met with 50 different threads complaining about this, that, or the other.

    Because apparently people were complaining. I just wish they would rip off the band-aid and turn this game into D3 since that's apparently what people really want after doing nothing but complaining about it for 11 years.

    It's not the votes of the young that get diminished, it's the political minority depending on state.

    Conservative voter in California? Your vote doesn't matter.

    Liberal voter in Arkansas? Your vote doesn't matter.

    That's what happens when you have a presidential election system like the electoral college instead of a popular vote.

    Liberal voter in Arkansas? Your vote doesn't matter. Conservative voter in California? Your vote doesn't matter.

    It's just the sad reality of a winner-take-all system that places more importance on the geographical size of a state rather than individual voters.

    It depends on how "friendly" they decide it has to be to replace the battery.

    The battery in my iPhone 13 Pro is certainly end-user replaceable, but it's significantly more difficult than it was for me to pop the battery out of my Galaxy S2 and put a new one in.

    I'm excited to see what the outcome of SUSE forking RHEL will be.

    • Will IBM backtrack?
    • Will the SUSE RHEL fork stay separate from SLES?
    • Will SLES move directly upstream or downstream from the RHEL fork?
    • Will this inspire other big wigs (Microsoft?) to start work on their own RHEL equivalent distributions?

    The gotcha for this is that you have to actually use the resources on your free instance or they will reclaim it. I use my instance as a Minecraft server so it utilizes about half of the 24GB RAM you get. For a very light compute task like a chat bot, it might be difficult to keep the instance from being reclaimed.

    From this page:

    Idle Always Free compute instances may be reclaimed by Oracle. Oracle will deem virtual machine and bare metal compute instances as idle if, during a 7-day period, the following are true:

    CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 15% Network utilization is less than 15% Memory utilization is less than 15% (applies to A1 shapes only)

    I think it's OK for them to try and sell extras, but I do agree that it shouldn't be the first thing on the downloads page. At least put the paid and free options side by side, then have the lite version down below that.

    Does it require a paid subscription? You can have a free developer account. I didn't see anything in the Red Hat post besides it being available through the customer portal, which you have access to with a free account.
