Stands for One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison, not officially but I like to think it is. It’s a corporation built around a database engine.
They have a well deserved terrible reputation based on their commercial practices, including but not exhaustive, shipping full fledged software with functionality locked behind paywalls, buying and demolishing established open source companies/projects, suing the shit out of their customers for license violation (see above), price gouging their customers who often have no other choice than to run their products.
The engine itself is nice and reliable but the business practices of Oracle drives a lot of companies to settle for the competition, at least, those who can afford to leave.
My flight had to turn around because of frost issues. 3h later we left Jersey again for London and obviously I missed my flight. The airport was going to shut down pretty soon and the company only made arrangements at the last minute for a hotel and a taxi. I took the first flight back to my country at like 6am, it was a long day afterwards.
Well it’s obviously not an absolute truth, more of a good rule of thumb I think. It also depends on the reason they don’t like cats in the first place.
For me personally, trams are right up there. Aside from the main issue of sharing the roads instead of having a dedicated line, they really make it easy to get from one part of a city to another, especially for wheelchair users.

I was having a conversation with my friend about this. We were discussing AI and she believes AI will destroy all of humanity just like so many others. I personally don’t believe that. I’m aware of all the theories and the multitude of ways that it could happen and I understand that with AI, in theory we wouldn’t...
I got pics of my foot during surgery and pics of it a week after the operation. I’d love to share it with people and discuss how neat the human body is. I don’t want to subject people to it who aren’t interested in it, though.
The movie is literally about white people abusing the trust of the Osage, scamming and killing them for their land and money. No white saviour in that.
Well yeah they should move them in camps while trying to find a final solution to the Palestinian problem.
Wait, I feel like I’ve heard of something similar somewhere.
Daniel Radcliffe. Since I watched Swiss Army Man, I’ve decided that I would watch anything with him in it without even questioning it. He’s doing things he likes and you can see how much fun he’s having. It’s just great. (Guns Akimbo, Miracle Workers, Horns, etc.)
What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?

How would you rate my stick? (lemmy.world)

I mean where are the zipties keeping things secured? It's a mess (startrek.website)
Lemmy, what are your "missed flight" stories?
I just missed mine. Feeling pretty stupid right now. Hopefully your stories will cheer me up.
What are some green flags in a partner in your opinion?
I’ll start: if they have hobbies it’s a green flag for sure, doubly so if their hobbies are outlets for creativity.
What modes of transport do you really like?

Why are we as humans obsessed with mass-extinction of our species?

I hate to tell ya... (lemmy.world)

Are there any communities here where I can share NSFW medical images?
