    If folks thought Rupert Murdoch was bad, let me tell you, Larry Ellison is far worse. And I say this as one of his customers! There’s an old joke among Oracle DBAs:

    What does Oracle stand for?

    One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison.

      I had to download something from Oracle a little while back (so had to register an account with them), they make you tick a tick box saying you support Israel or something. It was crazy to see.

      Majorly Zionist company. They have a whole section of their website just for news on Israel:

      https://www.oracle.com/il-en/corporate/business-continuity-management/

      Employees have complained about how the company its self works to suppress Pro-Palestinian voices online:

      …and now they’re buying TikTok.

        Trumps attacks on TikTok from the get-go were clearly to seize control of it for fascist propaganda. Now we know.

      My institution uses Oracle for management and I would consider it state-of-the-art for 1996.

      nothing like have to memorize 15 number chartstrings to manually route approvals.

      What’s the difference between Larry Ellison and God?

      God doesn’t think he’s Larry Ellison.
