The enshittification of everything is on the rise, and this is just another part of the trend of “let’s see if we can get away with it” (or “whaddaya gonna do bout it?”) From Google login popups, “open in the app” modals, and AI stealing ev

I haven’t really seen Oracle “getting all Oracle” with it. They changed the release schedule to match their other patch schedules (quarterly instead of monthly), and the only other thing is the extension pack needs a license, but that was n
