He killed.

This lost me

Coming soon, everything is corrupt, I have to delete the .metadata dir regularly, but it’s faster.

You’re having the same conversation with me on multiple threads and it’s me who is thick? It seems like you’re personally insulted when someone does not choose the tech stack that you identify with. It’s a language, not a religion, you’re going to be ok. I have my reasons not to like it and you do not have to approve. Get over yourself.

Not usually. Are you always this poor of a communicator?

Depends on how you “introduce me to reality”

Do you always make vague threats when someone disagrees with you on the internet?

Is that a threat?

C# is not my first choice but I did tolerate it the last time I worked a corporate job. MS seems committed to .NET core being open source and have never tried to rug pull C# or the .NET framework itself.

Also, I believe Microsoft’s incentives are different, and in a way that benefits me. For instance, they sell more Windows Server licenses because it’s easier for legacy shops to administrate (even though it can be done with nginx now). They also get more native software released for Windows, sell more Visual Studio Pro licenses and are able to steer people toward Azure DevOps and other Azure based cloud services.

Oracle has some similar products but their revenue streams are miniscule in comparison. They also have historically been a very lawsuit-based company, as an aggressor not a defendant.

What a well thought out retort /s

Reality.

Sorry, no, I will not go back to my abuser because they say it’s different this time.

Sorry, I have my own company, my choices matter, you should blame whomever made that choice for you.

It’s not necessarily cynicism if it’s based on previous patterns of behavior. Oracle reveals themselves to be run by bullies again and again and I choose to not put myself at risk. You do you.

It’s just my reasoning as to why I won’t use Oracle products. Feel free to put your own company at risk.

Feel free to use it, as long as you’re willing to pay lawyers to fight them when they decide otherwise.

That’s great for as long as they allow that to exist. I do not have an army of lawyers, they do. I will not ever be using Java.

I’m aware of the jdk alternatives and I will never use any of them because Oracle might some day decide that they’re an IP violation like they did with Google’s Android. I’m sure you’ll tell me something about the licensing being different but that still will not matter because there is always the possibility that Oracle will change their mind and start messing with me for sport. The Java ecosystem is rotten from the top down because Oracle cannot be trusted.

This is how Oracle finally kills Java. I stopped working with Java many years ago and firmly believe that no developer should tie themselves to this fuckery. Find a new job before it’s too late.

Guess they’re not wired for puns. Time to switch the conversation to something light so you don’t run up the meter with their resistance.
