As an older tech person, it's legit heartwarming watching the TikTok generation discover why we all hate Oracle.

Aside from the solarcide, I didn’t really have much ire towards Oracle. They were awful towards their customers but their products were so expensive that anyone who was an Oracle customer could have easily afforded to not be an Oracle customer. In contrast, a load of other big tech companies were abusive to people who weren’t their customers, or to people who were their customers only because they had no other choice.

@david_chisnall @garius It's not the core of why admins hate them; they've been in adtech for at least a decade now; which is right at the eye of hurting people who aren't your customers.
