Java is religiously backwards compatible. Modern java projects are not as enterprisey and boilerplatey, but, as jdk21 is backwards compatible with jdk1.3, you can still happily write code as if it's 2003.

Additionally, the java space is huge, so just wildly googling will probably not help you that much.

If I'm not mistaken, James SA Corey is an alias for two writers.

Point still stands though.

It was kinda a hoax. Not the problem itself, it did exist, but everything in 1999 was "y2k compliant". Especially things that couldn't be affected by the issue (like toasters and what have you).

It was not a hoax, but it was hoax adjacent.

I won't say they're not making it up, but their screenshot has "AI overview", yours doesn't. It is probable that "normal" google gives different results than "AI" Google.

One of the commandments (second, i think) says not to create idols of anything in the heavens or on earth. Walk into any catholic church, and you'll quickly see this is completely ignored.

So much so in fact that this commandment has been removed and the last commandment (not desiring other people's stuff) has been split to two: don't desire stuff, don't desire other people's women (later hanged to spouse).

Super Mario Odyssey and Twin Peaks. It can actually work.

People mentioned a lot of things. I'll add that plex doesn't offer hardware transcoding without premium. Now, setting up hardware transcoding on an NVidia graphics card on linux is a bit complicated, setting it up on windows is really simple. While it's not just clicking "enable hardware acceleration", it's not much more complicated than that.

Croatian "Ovce i novce" - literally sheep and the money. Same meaning as have your cake and eat it. "Kašika mu u med pala" - spoon fell into honey, meaning he got lucky "Tako ti je grah pao" - this is the way beans fell, meaning it is what it is "Izvukao si deblji kraj" - you got the fatter end, opposite meaning from you got the shorter end. It's kind of a weird one, as it is also sometimes used to mean the same as the shorter end. "Da ti dupe puta vidi" - so your behind can see the trip. Meaning to travel for no special reason, usually used when a reason is given, but is probably just an excuse to travel

GDPR isn't about where the site is hosted, but whether it caters to EU citizens or not. So, if a lemmy instance allows EU citizens to register and/or visit, GDPR applies to them.
