"Don't make the mistake of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison" 😁
I'm guessing this quote is pretty famous. Here's a good presentation by Bryan Cantrill about the history of SunOS, Solaris and OpenSolaris, up to the point that Oracle tried to kill it and illumos happened.

“The Late Show” and its competitors are not a public good, and CBS isn’t required to subsidize something that isn’t serving their interests. But even still, it’s worth mourning a type of show premised on the idea that we all lived in a shared reality, one that a gifted bridger of increasingly broad gaps between us might make coherent and make funny. “The Late Show” wasn’t built for these times; one dreads imagining the type of show that would be.“

🐑 Nearly 3 out of 4 Oracle Java users got audited in 3 years
｢ Oracle introduced a paid subscription for Java in September 2018, and in January 2023, it decided to switch its pricing model to per employee rather than per user, creating a steep price hike for many users. In July 2023, Gartner recorded users experiencing price increases of between two and five times when they switched to the new licensing model ｣

Trotz gesetzlicher Vorgaben setzt der Bund weiterhin stark auf proprietäre #Software statt auf #OpenSource.
Milliarden fließen an US-Konzerne wie #Microsoft und #Oracle, während digitale #Souveränität und Anpassungsfähigkeit leiden.
OSS wäre oft günstiger, transparenter und sicherer. Schleswig-Holstein zeigt bereits, wie ein Wechsel gelingen kann. Die Bundespolitik hingegen bleibt zögerlich – auch wegen massiven Lobbyismus.
