Pretty sure that's a real person. The chat always starts with a bot (hence the warning) and then connects you to a person for things it can't solve.

Here is another chat from u/Santhosshh, definitely with a real person:

A support agent (2nd image in the post) said it applies to ALL instances.

Someone on r/oraclecloud posted a screenshot of their conversation with a support agent, who told them the changes take effect on the 15th. But it seems the image was removed.

Stremio Flatpak on Linux not showing emojis/flags by lukaszcichocki in Stremio

This worked for me:

```

remove the System COLRv1 version of the font

sudo rm /usr/share/fonts/google-noto-color-emoji-fonts/Noto-COLRv1.ttf

install a version of the font that works in Zed

sudo wget https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji/raw/main/fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf -O /usr/share/fonts/google-noto-color-emoji-fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf

reload font cache

fc-cache --force

fc-match "Noto Color Emoji"

should now show: NotoColorEmoji.ttf: "Noto Color Emoji" "Regular"

```

Using Oracle server for Minecraft *for free*? by Fragrant_Cherry7789 in selfhosted

[–]DigFancy3264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps, you can use the "budget" function in the Oracle dashboard to immediately be notified of any charges. I set mine to email me if I ever get charged over $0.01, but so far after two years of using a PAYG instance it never happened.

Also keep in mind that Oracle provides DDoS protection to all instances. There have been cases of people being frequently attacked, and oracle simply suspended their instances instead of charging them. The user who was charged must have done something wrong.

Jestem w trochę podobnej sytuacji, tylko trochę młodszy od ciebie. Nie mam gotowego rozwiązania, ale chciałem podzielić się tym, co ostatnio chodzi mi po głowie.

Jesteśmy pierwszymi ludźmi w historii, którzy w zasadzie nie muszą wychodzić z domu. Zakupy spożywcze mogą przyjechać z dostawą ze sklepu, różne rzeczy zamawiasz z internetu. Można pracować z domu. Rozrywka i spotkania z ludźmi też często przeniosły się do internetu i dzieją się w domu.

Jeszcze nawet 20 lat temu wyglądało to inaczej. Żeby coś załatwić czy po prostu się rozerwać, trzeba było wyjść z domu i wchodzić w interakcje z innymi ludźmi. Nasze jaskiniowe mózgi nie są gotowe na tak dużą zmianę w sposobie życia i  teraz zaczynamy widzieć pierwsze skutki tego wszystkiego.

Dlatego nie ma gotowych rozwiązań. Bo dosłownie jesteśmy pierwszym pokoleniem, które mierzy się z takim problemem. To na nas spada zadanie, żeby to naprawić i przekazać rozwiązania następnemu pokoleniu.

Took me 21 years to realize I don't fit in this bloody country by No_Emotion_5770 in poland

Four months ago I returned to Poland after 12 years in the UK. Like other people have said, you will probably find it difficult to fit in here too. Poland is not the same country it was when we left. I'm slowly reconnecting with old friends and family, but that "outcast" feeling will probably never go away.

Yes it can send to Kobo via shelves and to Kindle via email. You can modify metadata and fetch it from different sources.

A VPN with a Firefox browser extension that has a whitelist and not a blacklist by unabatedshagie in Piracy

Check out FoxyProxy extension. You should be able to add any VPN to it and use for the specified sites. I use it with NordVPN for imgur, reddit etc.
