Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don't fall into that trap about Oracle. — Brian Cantrill (https://youtu.be/-zRN7XLCRhc?t=33m1s)

And

I actually think that it does a dis-service to not go to Nazi allegory because if I don't use Nazi allegory when referring to Oracle there's some critical understanding that I have left on the table […] in fact as I have said before I emphatically believe that if you have to explain the Nazis to someone who had never heard of World War 2 but was an Oracle customer there's a very good chance that you would explain the Nazis in Oracle allegory. — also Brian Cantrill (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79fvDDPaIoY&t=24m)

Call me medieval, but I don't understand these people... If I somehow had a ploy to make that kind of money in one shot I'd make like a bandit and vanish... Then retire. That kind of money is never work again money. I could retire at 30 and die in my 80s a rich man.

Dark mode is better 90% of the time, but I still use light mode when I'm outdoors in bright sunlight!

How dare tell USA their problem? Why don't you go there and do something? Gwon! Gwon!! You little punk! If USA could do somethin, they would.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 1 points 5 minutes ago

No can do. It's just too big. Nobody can do anything about anything because it's soo big. You can't phantom the size of USA before you get in a car and drive some hours across the state border only to realize that you're still in the same car.
