Excited to hear that macOS 14.4.1 has a possible fix for the Java reliability issue. Would be great to hear of an independent confirmation from #OpenJDK or #oracle folks. This issue likely tracks a JDK-side mitigation though? Or will it close after verification of the Apple OS-side fix? https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug?bug_id=8327860
…we bought an old shelf from the occult shop. Formerly used to display #tarot and #oracle decks for sale, currently taking up a corner of our dining room. Gotta get the guest room and computer room in shape—it’ll fit into one of those once we do. But for now, a fine conversation piece for a high-traffic area in our home. 🪄☕️🗡️🪙
While everyone is up in arms over the prospective #TikTok#Ban, no one seems to be paying attention to #BobbyKotick's open desire to buy a controlling stake off Chinese owners, #bytedance
Yes, THAT Bobby Kotick. See below for a quick reminder. Strangely, this never comes up in conversation.
A cynical sod might even wonder if the TikTok furore is just the US government nobbling a competitor to its native social media dumpster fires.
...And now #Trump's former minion, #SteveMnuchin says he wants to buy #TikTok. This is increasingly reading like a stitch-up masquerading as a moral panic.
"...When Mnuchin was Treasury secretary, the Trump administration brokered a deal in 2020 that would have had U.S. corporations #Oracle and #Walmart take a large stake in TikTok on national security grounds..."
Everybody knows how IBM made the machines the original nazis used in their genocide of the Jews, but we never talk about how IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and others today makes the technology China uses in their genocide of the Uighur. Why not?
The extreme financial problems in #Birmingham are less about the settlement of an #equalpay case & more about the disastrous implementation of an #Oracle IT system.
While this has been discussed publicly in the past, its worth emphasising its critical & central role in Birmingham's problems.... like the #Horizon IT problems at the Post Office, a large multinational #informationtechnology firm seems to be causing havoc with impunity!
WTF? I can't view an Oracle's help blog without signing in??
look at this link (below).
It asks me to sign in to view the comments.
and my regular Oracle Cloud account doesn't work,
and for a new account they want wayy too much information.
Including phone and address.
I just looked at this and started thinking about all the ways #Microsoft#cisco#oracle etc. would screw you over with the licensing if they were operating it
changing storage tiers
shifting functionality to “Premium” licenses
introduce new features as free, then move them to paid-for licenses
drop support completely, offering no migration path
😒
It blows my mind that it's a recorded fact that Larry Ellison sent money and people to help the January 6th coup plotters and Oracle has still not been banned from government contracting.
And that he isn't trying to assemble all of the legal talent to defend himself in Federal court.
