What about vector pikachu?

Gentoo on desktop.

Big money is being held because of anti-money laundering, not because of technology.

Hey, Trump already did! Twice…

Cracked software still enables their dominance over the market.

If it happens to only specific companies, but others will do anything without issues, it will be a huge problem.

And it will.

If that motivation still leads to work against tech monopolies

It doesn’t, never did, never will.

I can’t believe we have to argue in 2025 about this.

The whole project 2025 is about breaking bad regulations, antitrust won’t survive. You just have to kiss the ring, and do whatever.

Many things, too many to even remember.

Very bad SQL implementation is a good start, still bad replication support (compared to Postgres), various bugs present for too long…

https://www.sql-workbench.eu/dbms_comparison.html this comparison is a bit out of date, but explains a lot

Postgres is far superior in every way.

We used MySQL (and Percona XtraDB) servers at work, and it is so bad. So I made several presentations showing generic and specific reasons why Postgres is better. I had to cut a lot of content because MySQL is just that bad.

Some things may not seem relevant now, but as you keep the DB around long enough, you will appreciate the whole package of Postgres.

Things that will help a lot, but are extensions:

• pg_partman - for automatic partition management
• patroni - management of replicas, automatic failover - it does everything for you with simple commands

There is a DB comparison matrix, but hasn’t been updated in over a year, which is a shame, but still gives you the idea of how different databases support SQL features: link.

Spoiler: postgres has the most support, with a huge lead

Edit: MySQL is dead last, btw

I love user notes; this one has ‘fascist centrist’ attached, and lo and behold.

There’s no fucking way they let her go on.

I’m ready to eat my words, but I expect her to disappear, or be limited to companies which did not fall in line to Musk/Trump.

The entire shtick of the next admin is deregulation, antitrust will not be welcome.

I love this comment so much, that I upvoted, saved, and commented on it.

Bravo, good human, you helped to restore a bit of faith in humanity in me.

It’s also very Shody

“You see what happen to one of you. Are you sure you wanna to through with this?”

It’s not like OpenAI cares about people anyway.

Fuck them, fuck Altman, fuck Microsoft.

I have an AMD laptop, have no issues with battery life, works like a charm.

Intel even with their architecture had bigger power draw in desktop CPU than AMD. But dunno about laptops.

Afaik Intel has been dropping the ball for a while now in every segment, low to high.

Are Intel cpus really better in the laptop department? Since in desktop they fell very far behind.

It has KDE, which I believe has something close to it.

Very old packages.

They have security updates, but are usually held back years to ensure stability.

Oh my
