I was only told this recently after using a microwave oven for many years. Works as advertised.

Comparing Assumed Intelligence with an average Redditor is like asking: Are you smarter than a fifth grader?

Hint: Nope.

Since its inception, Let’s Encrypt has been sending expiration notification emails to subscribers that have provided an email address to us. We will be ending this service on June 4, 2025. The decision to end this service is the result of the following factors:

• Over the past 10 years more and more of our subscribers have been able to put reliable automation into place for certificate renewal.

• Providing expiration notification emails means that we have to retain millions of email addresses connected to issuance records. As an organization that values privacy, removing this requirement is important to us.

• Providing expiration notifications costs Let’s Encrypt tens of thousands of dollars per year, money that we believe can be better spent on other aspects of our infrastructure.

• Providing expiration notifications adds complexity to our infrastructure, which takes time and attention to manage and increases the likelihood of mistakes being made. Over the long term, particularly as we add support for new service components, we need to manage overall complexity by phasing out system components that can no longer be justified.

Pretty much … source, I live here. The mosquitoes near the airport require landing clearance.

There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don’t.

Hopefully this will persuade them to finally turn it off on every single account after unilaterally forcing it into every Google Workspace two weeks ago.

As a bonus, “classroom” and "startup"accounts cannot disable it.

That’s what it feels like when you steal other people’s personal information …

What do you call a person who practices the pull out method of birth control?

A parent.

What, you mean like Microsoft, uh, OpenAI did?

It’s called doubling down and it’s not just happening in Germany.

The COALition in Australia has just compared the First Nations People who have lived in Australia for over 65,000 years with Aliens.

It’s not the first time they’ve shown their #racist colours either.

The “leader” of the COALition has refused to stand in front of a First Nations flag:

Yes dad 😇

(It’s a joke, laugh.)

Gotta say, the down votes on this comment are deeply disturbing. Do those people think that this is acceptable behaviour?

That’s sexual harassment in a nutshell.

I’m waiting for the word Orange to be banned by executive order.

Welcome to totalitarian regimes.

The Orange is now in charge.

It’s not limited to a single Department either, here’s NASA:

I see this in Australia.

It was 51°C on the road, which is why I commented on taking public transport requiring us to solve how we deal with temperature. The maximum “official” temperature was 43.6°C.

Yeah, that’s not going to happen. I’m already in a “habitable” area, Perth in Western Australia. Unless everyone moves to the Arctic, we need to solve the problem in another way.
