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 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Lawnmowers can be a piece of shit too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Lawnmowers have the bitchiest machine spirits. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago True permalink fedilink source parent [–] fuck_u_spez_in_particular@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 child) Oh yeah, I consider him to be the worst billionaire of em all, even "trumping" that muskrat... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] boonhet@lemm.ee 24 points 2 years ago (1 child) Oracle, the official company of "Look, we're developer friendly now, our stuff is open source and free to use!
