Over the past few weeks, several US banks have pulled off from lending to Oracle for expanding its AI data centres, as per a report.

At least IBM used to be cool and gave us things like SQL, DRAM and Thinkpads. Other than Java kits I couldn’t name a single useful initiative from Oracle. They just take existing inventions and shuffle enterprise papers.
IBM gave us the PC standard! That’s by far their biggest contribution to the IT world, we’re still harvesting the belefits today.
Look at the ARM ecosystem of “every-PCB-is-its-own-kind”.
Oracle didn’t even create Java, Sun Microsystems did and Oracle gobbled them up. The only thing Oracle has actually created is a shitty old database system and legions of lawyers.
I don’t know much about Sun, but they seemed like a cool company - Java, Solaris, Sparc. A lot of people sounded pretty upset when they got acquired.
Used to be cool…you might want to look a little bit further into IBMs past, specifically what they were doing during WW2…
The tech is still cool. Doesn’t mean IBM didn’t deserve to be dissolved and it’s entire staff shoved into a wood chipper post war for aiding and abetting genocide. Kinda like the V1s and V2s, fun fact my great grandfather worked on those and Stukas, shame the Navy posted him in fucking Florida.
All is justified if it gave us Thinkpad 🙂↕️
