⚠️ Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source

｢ With few new features and heavy focus on code base cleanup and feature deprecation, it became obvious to many that Oracle had decided to just keep MySQL barely alive, and put all new relevant features (e.g. vector search) into Heatwave, Oracle’s closed-source and cloud-only service for MySQL customers ｣

#Oracle stock is now lower than before they touched #OpenAI ... turns out making up numbers and throwing around rumours of "300bn deals" and whatnot with nothing but butterfly farts behind it is bad.

Lawsuit filed. Main plaintiff -- love it -- the Ohio Carpenters' Pension Plan.

This piece nails it! The "new" TikTok "deal" is simply an exercise in decorative shape shifting for a situation that has basically been in place for 3 years.

This was never about addressing data privacy, propaganda, or national security. It was always about the US grabbing a big chunk of ownership one of the most popular and successful social media apps. The US Congress just made sure that is was Trump sycophants who got the "win". https://www.techdirt.com/2025/12/19/tiktok-deal-done-and-its-somehow-the-shittiest-possible-outcome-making-everything-worse/ #TikTok #Oracle #SilverLake #MGX #NationalSecurity #SocialMedia #China #ByteDance #Algorithm #Privacy #DataPrivacy

🫧 Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price.

｢ Oracle stock has tumbled nearly 40% from its September peak, erasing more than $360 billion from its market capitalization. Nearly $67 billion of that decline occurred on Thursday alone, as Oracle’s second quarter results failed to assuage a key concern for investors — that the company is too heavily reliant on OpenAI ｣

Tony Blair and Larry Ellison are not only buddies but are collaborating in creating a unified data monopoly which leaves nothing in the dark of what you think and do, what you prefer and dislike.
If the second richest man in the world and a former prime minister, who chairs a think tank which is hugely influental in UK politics, push for total transparency of every individual
this should be taken very seriously as
a direct attack on the remaining freedoms of civil society.
