I honestly wonder if this is done to reduce returns. Steam, for example has a <2hrs policy.

Put 30+ minutes of cut scene in, 60 minutes of intro/tutorial, and you’re past 2 hours of game launched time before discovering the game itself just isn’t fun for you (too predictable? Grindy? Too easy? Too hard?)

Any chance of updating the RSS feed item "summary" to something more useful than "significant news" and title to something more than the date? Or maybe an RSS feed of the newsletter format?

(I do see some of the older items have titles that include some info on what's included)

Basically, I think the ideal RSS feeds would be _two_: 1. RSS feed of every item that hits the 6/10 threshold (title and link to original, summary not too important, either same as title or paragraph summary of what the article is about) 2. RSS feed of the newsletter (title: "May 4 2023 - significant news", link: newsletter page, summary: list of article titles)

I suppose versions of #1 with diff thresholds could be nice, but I'd probably only use the default threshold.

Background: I run a bot that sends RSS feeds into discord channels (easily followable to any discord server) and this particular feed seems potentially quite handy for good news info. Probably overlaps with https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/ but that automation probably means it can catch breaking news faster than a manually-curated site like that.

What I've seen is "Oracle is evil", "don't trust Oracle", and something like "my prior history around Oracle has left such a lasting bad taste that I throw up a little in my mouth every time I touch something with Oracle in it, so I'd rather do almost anything but use something from Oracle, since using it on the daily would inevitably lead to permanent esophagus damage."

I mean... Oracle buying up MySQL was enough for MariaDB to be created and move to being the default. (well, and some of what Oracle did right afterwards).

More likely there'll be a simple script to swap from CentOS (or RHEL) to Rocky.. Or they could have a "rocky-release" package with `Obsoletes: centos-release, redhat-release` and a `yum install https://rockylinux.org/rocky-release-8.2-1.noarch.rpm ; yum upgrade` is all that'd be required to swap...

TL;DR: should be very easy, but there's minor variations in methods that I doubt are finalized.

You can open the cardboard in the store to peek at the bottom of the can, but that sort of thing may be frowned upon.

I have both in my collection, but the "dutch ovens" can be used on a range or in the oven. The "casserole" can be used in the oven or in the microwave, but are not suitable for stovetop use.

When I've shopped for the cast iron version, amazon lists them under "dutch oven".

One of our larger enameled cast iron "dutch ovens" is a favorite pot used for many things. Originally got it for baking bread (basically allows a cheap electric oven to be as good as a high-end gas oven for making bread), but it's also ideal for braising, stews, etc. To use a ceramic "casserole" for some of those, I'd need to use a separate pan to brown things and then transfer them to the ceramic casserole; using the cast iron pot for them allows for everything to be done in a single pot.

We did a pilot of Office 365 with an eye on using the OneDrive stuff (in addition to migrating to the cloud Exchange service) and found:

- There's no mac client for the business one drive. Only windows. - Documents are silently modified by adding a "signature" to them. In some cases this wouldn't matter, but in others it definitely would. - There was a 20,000 item limit. (files or directories) There's ways to get around this by creating additional collections, but that's hard and has its own limitations and issues. - Individual files had a 2GB size limit. - Those combined to mean that the "1TB" space limit was meaningless.

Note: "One Drive" and "One Drive for Business" are totally different. The stuff connected to "Office 365" is the business stuff and it's really some friendlier front-ends on some kind of Cloud SharePoint thing...

There's benefits to both approaches. However, I really only need a few extras on my OSX laptop, and I don't really want to end up compiling dozens of extra stuff just to get the latest version. Sometimes I want to force that new version, but only if there's specific functionality I'm after. Others really want to get the latest and greatest of everything constantly...
