I’ve been running my Minecraft client on Azul Zulu builds of the OpenJDK for years, just because I trust anyone else more than Oracle.

Of course my Minecraft server is running on Linux anyway, with the openjdk build from my distro.

Honestly I don’t know what differences there still are that would motivate companies to use Oracle JDK. I thought Oracle JDK and OpenJDK converged strongly a few years ago.

Hm even with DeepSeek being more efficient, wouldn’t that just mean the rich corps throw the same amount of hardware at it to achieve a better result?

In the end I’m not convinced this would even reduce hardware demand. It’s funny that this of all things deflates part of the bubble.
