I was patient all along, but seeing him wearing a Half-Life shirt is just too much to endure. Burn the witch, I say!

No.

If lower class would have more money, the donations would be even higher I suppose. I really hope he gets the best lawyers ever to defend him. Imagine the faces on all CEO‘s and conservative politicians when Luigi walks free. Will this be the initiation of The Purge?

It was. Now compare the benchmark of OLTP tasks and you will be surprised

It does. And that’s why I am afraid of that. Operational costs are important as well. I’d rather have those components individually than integrated into a whole ecosystem. This way I can more easily replace components, which is going to be necessary at some point.

Smear campaign with an open source product? Are you sure you still have a working organ between your ears?

That being said, my recommendation is based on using databases in big data environments for 15 years. But I am glad that your home lab is working fine with MariaDB. Does not mean it is a good product. And your comment just proves my point.

While there was a time, where those databases were considered “good”, they are only this famous because they have been free or open source for ages. Professors love open source stuff. This does not necessarily mean it is a good product in terms of database functionality. They have been stuck in the old age and simply get outperformed by almost anything. Professors also hate to change their slides and to learn something new. Because their priority is on functionality, not on real world use. And when you want to use a product in the real world, non-functional properties gain a lot of value. One of them is performance.

If you want to have a fast, reliable, open source database, use ClickHouse.

Avoid MySQL and MariaDB at all cost.

Thanks. That is indeed deeply concerning.

There is a difference between a public figure and a CEO.

Partially agree. But a dumb CEO can be replaced (see Sonos).

Again, why should I care? The company does not only consist of the CEO, which is also why I‘m interested in the things a company does, and not what a CEO says.

People have private lifes. CEO‘s too. I don’t see why I should remotely care what the personal opinion of a CEO is. And I am deeply concerned that this is such a big deal, no matter what their opinion is.

If you have a personal problem with that, that‘s totally okay. Putting them on a stand, is not okay. Let them have an opinion. Debate if you disagree. But stop making such a scene out of everything.

And how would you even remotely know, what I have been through. Again, it is easy to complain.

I can see that. How about not living in a country with laws like that? It is always easy to complain, but what is it that you have done so far?

I blocked blahaj.zone voluntarily. Same as the tankie-zone.

Can you somehow migrate the stuff from the old account to the new one?

So they complain that burning plastic releases CO2. True. So does burning wood or any other fuel. At least this way you can harvest the energy that is being released. What else are you going to do with that plastic? Recycle it, which produces probably way more CO2? Put it on a landfill?

So they seem not be interested in real solutions, like reducing plastic. They just want to say „no“ because they are bored. Pathetic.

Now who is really punished by that action; the 37 people who are forced to continue living or the three, who will eventually end the suffering prematurely?

It is a philosophical question and there are different perspectives.
