Anyone have experience with Oracle Cloud and ease of moving away?

This benchmark seems to recommend Oracle Cloud, but I’ve heard that Oracle has historically used aggressive licenses and legal terms to keep customers locked-in.

A CLI runs on the client, so they can embed client-side functionality like telemetry or caching.

The link is to the f-droid blog. The official "Keep Android Open" site is at https://keepandroidopen.org/, and contains good information on how you can contribute by contacting regulators.

> Act like a “host” wherever you go

The only corporate “core value” that i ever liked was Airbnb’s “Be A Host”. It was a cute and fitting way to encourage a welcoming attitude to any teammate, manager, or stranger. it wasn’t well practiced by everyone, but it stuck with me since i’ve left

boberoni — Sat, 07 Feb 2026 07:06:53 +0000

A devkit is not a familiar term for me, but it seems like this project is a gui app for android development on linux arm64.

Google officially supports Android Studio, emulators, SDKs, and so on, for macos arm64 and linux x86_64, but not linux arm64. this project fills that gap

The more I work in corporate and learn about office politics, the more I see parallels to geopolitics and diplomacy. If I squint, I can even see the parallels to social and romantic relationships as well.

Maybe it's the mathematician in me who enjoys building models of abstraction.

I would recommend “Chip War” by Chris Miller. It’s not for learning tech skills, but provides an approachable history of the semiconductor industry from WWII to the present day AI boom. I think it provides good insights into how governments think about investment into the global semiconductor supply chain.

My guess is that getting local permits is easier to get for Waymos (never faster than 45mph, only within bounds of a single city) than long haul cargo (on highways faster than 65mph, crossing multiple city boundaries).

This isn't too far from the truth. In a twisted way, firms outsource the screening process to the admissions process of elite schools. Also, the reputation of elite schools adds credibility to your team, which is very important to get clients to trust you enough and pay you lots of money to manage their finances.

> business is about growth or margin.

> To grow, we could do 1 of 2 things:

> - Sell more of our existing products, primarily Coumarin

> - Add new products

> If we focused on margin, that’d mean focusing on:

> - Increasing efficiency in manufacturing

> - Reducing expenses

Good insights. I’m curious if there are other models of business that are just as simple and useful… :)

Can you tell me more about what your new job is, without releasing anything sensitive?

If you are running applications on Linux containers in the cloud, then I would recommend Brendan Gregg's blog and books (https://www.brendangregg.com/overview.html). He does a lot of knowledge sharing from his experiences at Netflix.
