More than anything, they are self-serving hypocrites. They rail and rant about communists, socialists, muslims, jews, etc. in public, but come election day, they will vote for their self-interests.
Oracle is the choice if you need a high performance RDBMS capable of processing extreme amounts of data at extreme io rates. Nothing comes close for enterprise level applications. THAT SAID, it requires a special kind of individual to be able to get the most out of it. Even better if that person knows of the existence, value, and use of the many undocumented v$ tables, etc.
Once you can migrate most of your data out of an RDBMS, you options open up significantly.
For smaller projects. Oracle makes no sense, unless the expectation is vast and rapid growth.
EDIT: Oracle is the most evil corporation in tech. Those who know, know.
I am no crypto bro and I am an LLM sceptic but codeberg's moves this past week make it unusable to my org, just as I was thinking of moving our entire codebase to it. I cannot guarantee that there will never be any LLM use in the future.
We will absolutely get UBI, or violence will ensue. That said, UBI will not look like humans being able to focus on arts and the humanities. The more likely scenario will be like that found in "The Expanse" book series where "life under basic" will be a threat, not a promise.
People do not actually want games that are original and know what they want to be from AAA game studios. Bungie made Marathon. It is a game with a unique aesthetic, non-apologetic play style that is excellent for those who enjoy that gameplay, deep lore, etc. It flopped and it is constantly being asked to change and have more "mass appeal".
MFW I remember that I traded for an EV, installed whole house batteries, and solar panels.
