I meant it as a joke, given that oracle is famously litigious. It would solve the legal questions

Khaine — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 06:27:32 +0000

Georgia makes wine in its traditional style or 'european' style. Traditional style is where the crushed grapes including branches is stored in clay pots (called Qvevri) for fermentation and aging. This means Georgian wines often have a different colour and can be cloudy.

European is the style of how most wine is made in Europe

The most famous style is Saperavi which is a Red wine.

Its sad that one of the funniest and subversive shows on television has become a rotten husk of itself.

Zombie Simpsons has been on longer than the golden and silver age of the Simpsons. They really need to let it go.

New comment by Khaine in "Apple testing new App Store design that blurs the line between ads and results"

Khaine — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 10:05:07 +0000

This sounds horrible for user experience. That used to be Apple's claimed Raison d'être. It's sad how far they are willing to debase themselves to chase a few extra nickels. They are already one of the richest companies in the world.

Surely they should focus on improving the actual quality of their products (particularly software), and developer experience and documentation, rather than further watering down their quality.

This is going to leave a black stain on Tim Cook's legacy. Sure apple may be more profitable and bigger than ever, but its betrayed its legacy, and its users.
