What's funny about Oracle is like, most tech companies, people probably feel *skeevy* about, but also most tech cos have done 1 thing you Like. Lots of people love their Apple products. You might be annoyed at Google right now but there was probably a time they made you happy in some way. Microsoft? People do like XBoxes. OpenAI has fans!

But NOBODY interacts with Oracle on purpose. Even coders don't *pick* Oracle. There's no brake on you just *resenting* Larry Ellison.

@mcc In the future people will be able to make undetectable AI hunter-killer drones from consumer hardware that can find assholes like Plastic Larry and melt them with its flamethrower.

@mcc Honestly can't say why ORCL has such a valuation, up again 6%. It can't just be their inferior database products and nobody runs Virtualbox except for free. Have they managed to monetize their (shithouse by todays standards) programming language java?
