It ain't over until Oracle implodes and Larry Ellison goes broke

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 3 points 19 hours ago

Oracle looks like it isn't imploding like a neat full rack of pins always look stoic and eternal the moment before the bowling ball hits.

@supersquirrel Very true and very much not a reason to rejoice, since everyone with a retirement plan or an adjustable mortgage, or really any participation at all in the global economy, not only the US', will suffer, and be forced into harsher living and working conditions in the aftermath - for several generations.

Very true and very much not a reason to rejoice

but a very good reason to read James Joyce!

If only for the rhyme of it.

@supersquirrel
If you couldn't tell, I'm already confused enough without trying to figure out the rantings of some dead Scot psycholinguist. But rhyming's almost never uncalled-for.

One of my spirit animals is Fezzik.

JJ is IRISH take that back! ...and he isn't dead for God's sake! He just needs a little whiskey thrown his way and he will come around again!

@supersquirrel Holy crap I erred big time. I used to drink Jameson's at James Joyce Pub for crying out loud.

I have insoluble brain problems.

Sure.. the AI bubble pops, but can it lock....?

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 day ago

A lock is nothing but a precisely designed false-knot waiting to be tugged on in the right place.

@supersquirrel @brem
To quote a facilities manager of my past acquaintance : "a padlock will only keep out an honest man".
This from a guy who kept a metre-long set of bolt croppers in the hat stand in the corner of his office. Everyone knew that if you needed to "recommission" a unit of office space, you borrowed the croppers, and returned them with a note of which address your company was staying in, and what your new phone number was.
