The average company using #EclipseTemurin saves $1.6M+ annually after migrating from paid Java SE options. Temurin’s adoption has skyrocketed, from 250M in 2024 to over 700M in 2025!

But sustaining it requires investment.

To bypass age verification checks in the UK I encourage everyone to use a VPN and to actively promote the use of VPNs to bypass such checks.

@ofcom.bsky.social say:
