This is only very indirectly related to Java as a whole. the reference implementation of the jvm is open source and managed by a coalition of companies under a GPL license, the OpenJDK.

Oracle has its own set of enhancements to the reference jvm that handle things like just-in-time compilation and garbage collection differently and have some additional flags that allow for more fine-grained tweaking of certain features.

There are many other companies that do the same.

Oracle only started doing this in 2019 so many companies who were running Java before this used the Oracle JVM out of convenience, even if they weren't going to use the tweaked parts. So everyone switched to another implementation, OpenJDK, Amazon Coretto, Eclipse J9 or some other available JRE/JDK.

In 2023 Oracle cracked down harder trying to get people to pay for licenses and changed their terms such that any company with even 1 employee using an Oracle JVM had to pay for every employee in the company. ridiculous I know.

This is just more news about Oracle's licensing crackdown and not about Java as a whole at all. Think of it more like the Unity licensing change and you're telling people to stop coding in C#.

on mobile the bird in the first panel is incredibly difficult to see and looks like a storm cloud. thus it looks like the kid is just upset for no reason.

sirloin and mashed potatoes. bon appetit.

nothing beats the petdom it's soft, picks up hairs and then self-cleans into it's holder. When it's full you just take the cap off the end and put the hair in the bin

I can't do it. it's so burned into my memory.

when I first watched it I had never lost a dog. my childhood dog was still living with my parents.

now as a fully pretend adult I have a 2 year old eurasier who is literally another person living with me and there is no way I can watch it again.

I will wait for you

gog.com probably has most of these

I set 2 alarms. one 15 minutes before the other. when the first alarm goes off I take a 200mg caffeine pill. when the second goes off getting up is much easier.

When you ask an LLM a reasoning question. You're not expecting it to think for you, you're expecting that it has crawled multiple people asking semantically the same question and getting semantically the same answer, from other people, that are now encoded in its vectors.

That's why you can ask it. because it encodes semantics.
