A man who grabbed our concept of a centralized internet by the balls and squeezed it so hard that the Lemmy’s user count 65xed in a 3 months period. Thank you for your service

Fuck Musk, Spez, and Zuck, and throw in Gates and Bezos while you're at it. Each of them has made their own personal empires of shit.

You can't mention those and not mention Larry Ellison. If it weren't for him, OpenOffice wouldn't have forked.

Yes, I would also like to know about this Larry Ellison.

Mentioning Larry Ellison by name feels redundant. Like saying Earth is part of our solar system.

The link doesn’t load. What did Gates do that you‘d put him in the same category as the rest?

He is notorious for Microsoft's anti-competitive practices in the 1990s. But, I wouldn't put him in that company today. His philanthropy since leaving Microsoft is no joke.

Gates continued his bullshit well into his philanthrophy days.

And it looks like that the invidious instance that served my original post’s link is temprarily down. So here's another link.
