I think the oracle enterprise software suite is the final boss of awful software. If you haven’t used it in anger you can never complain about software.

Been 4 years driving EVs and no trouble at all. Rarely used public chargers and when have needed them have been fine (the use of apps to pay is still an irritation but will go away in time). I also collect cars that make noise and enjoy that but it is like riding a steam train.

We have been pronouncing melbourne wrong. However you say Osbourne is how you should pronounce melbourne. So for Australians we don’t say “Osbun”. I don’t make the rules they just exist.

So, we let them take our resources free of charge, make a killing selling them overseas, destroy a nature reserve, then hand them half a billion taxpayer dollars to clean up their filth.

Other countries are making a fortune from our gas exports, while Australians pay a premium price for our own gas.

It’s worthwhile trying Apple intelligence and Siri with ChatGPT, as an example of the most half hearted implementation I have ever seen. To call it amateur would be mean, as no amateur would do anything that bad.

I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel
Why even have a brain, any ideas, any ability to express them, any kind of communication with other people, any desire to solve problems or invent anything, any reason to learn, any use for your eyes or your heart, or any reason to teach or create

As it is festivus and time for the airing of grievances here’s mine: the remake of total recall didn’t involve mars. The remake of point break didn’t involve surfing. No one has faced punishment (ideally capital) for those crimes. This is my grievance every year.

I’m not in Europe. You, the website, are also not in Europe. There is no one involved in this transaction that has anything to do with the EU, agreed? So why do I have the endless cookie pop overs?
