@natecull I don't think Oracle wants to go to war with some European country over this

@natecull the heck are you talking about, Boeing isn't building the only planes in the world

@natecull are you being serious right now? my "going to war" toot was a joke, fyi

@natecull @noiob as an employee of a subsidiary of boeing: i would be surprised if they didn't have contingency plans for if parts of their IT infrastructure stopped being supported for whatever reason

@typhlosion @natecull yeah, especially the military definitely has plans to operate independently from anyone but themselves

@natecull @noiob anyway this is silly because if oracle wanted to be hostile to a government they would have to be way more clever about it than antagonizing plane manufacturers. at worst it would just hamper the manufacturers' ability to make new planes but almost certainly do nothing to the ones that are already in hangars

@natecull @noiob i was gonna say airbus but they're european so you got me there

@typhlosion @natecull yeah there's a bunch en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_

and it's not like boeing have a kill switch in their aircrafts, just put some fuel in and you'll probably get it in the air
