The cuts are part of a wider trend among tech firms as they spend hundreds of billions of dollars on AI.

    Only fools would buy or use Oracle products. They will only ever fuck you over.

    The pricing for the 2038 patch is going to be steep.

    And then they release a Security Patch Update, but don’t release the patches needed until a week later. So I had a document urging me to install an unavailable patch.

    That’s good, I guess? Most businesses who license Oracle should see their rates go down considerably. Right? /s

    The reverse should be hilarious. Anyone reading this applying for jobs there should not take a fucking offer below premium, because that’s what they are trying to do.
