「[...] Skydance Media, which is slated to acquire Paramount Global, the parent of both CBS and Comedy Central. David Ellison, who leads Skydance, has projected an image of being intrigued by the politics espoused by President Donald Trump...」

The company buying CBS (i.e. Skydance) is almost entirely funded by David Ellison's MAGA conspiracy theorist billionaire daddy #LarryEllison.

Maybe, just maybe, the point is to create a second FOX propaganda outlet with this one doing the #Techbros' bidding specifically. 👀

Apparently CBS were also shameless during the McCarthy persecution era so... 🤷‍♂️

The #Oracle founder Larry Ellison was best mates with Apple founder Steve Jobs FWIW.

🐑 Nearly 3 out of 4 Oracle Java users got audited in 3 years

「 Oracle introduced a paid subscription for Java in September 2018, and in January 2023, it decided to switch its pricing model to per employee rather than per user, creating a steep price hike for many users. In July 2023, Gartner recorded users experiencing price increases of between two and five times when they switched to the new licensing model 」
