Just venting here, but is there a sys admin, dba, SRE, developer, or IT manager out there that doesn’t loathe Oracle? They go around bullying and extorting organizations. It wastes so much time and resources.

In the US, please check out bookshop.org, which partners with local/indie bookstores. You can specify a store to support, otherwise the profit goes into a general pool distributed among participating booksellers. They're also here on Bluesky at @bookshop-org.bsky.social.

It's time to #FreeJavaScript.
