  I’m just here to cheer on a Jitsi link in the wild.

  Go Jitsi!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you mean?

  Stop DB, run pg_upgrade, start it, win?

  Or set up logical replication into newer version, wait for sync, test use-cases, switch write?

  Where do you get better experience?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Does that mean it’s still an utter borderline unusable shit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Tutorials mostly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is Maria that much better than MySQL?

  Cause that one is absolute shit, very difficult to maintain, and requires lots of config changes and even replicas can disconnect when something’s not 100% ok.

  I will take Postgres over any other DB any day of the week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it true?

  Postgres with correct fillfactor, it doesn’t create new pages and works very fast.

  Replication in MySQL always sucked ass, only received synchronous replication in some new edition, and that also didn’t sound great.

  Postgres has logstream and logical replication, both of them can be set to various levels of synchronicity, and logical replication is configurable at least as well as MySQL is in terms of which data is sent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  MySQL always sucked ass.

  PostgreSQL went in a different direction, started with best support of the SQL standard, then optimized everything to make it fast.

  Postgres has/had the best SQL standard support out of every server, open-source or not.

  MySQL was at the other end, only started catching up after Oracle bought it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Surprisingly a lot of people around me watch hockey.

  And I also hear about a lot of people watching it.

  But even though I’m very much into IT, I know very few people who selfhost. Despite that being a small community, local genAI seems even smaller that that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No, even Two Thrones felt off.

  The combat and movement was so good in WW that I didn’t try anything new after TT.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Do 5% of people you know use local LLMs?

  If so, you don’t know a lot of people, or you are heavy into the lLLM scene.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨200 million records exposed in massive Pornhub data breach — here’s what we know so far⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Too bad that’s being dismantled right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Statistically relevant portion?

  You know they were hyperbolic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ubisoft has been utter shir for more than a decade.

  I used to love Prince of Persia, I tried to play Warrior Within half a year ago, that’s how much I love it.

  But it hasn’t been the same, it’s just generic shit all over the place.

  Task Manager is weak.

  Misspelled putsched.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Again: if majority of players stop buying PC hardware, it will not be sold AT ALL. That’s it. Indies will fade slowly after.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, I fight as much as I can, but it’s been decades, and nothing meaningfully improved.

  It just sucks to see the world march goosesteppingly into madness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Are You Guys Handling This?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Play for a week, refund on Steam.

  Free forever!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just trying to explain to you that YOU might do your thing, but YOU do not sway the industry.

  I’ve known and understood the dangers of dark practices, yet those companies were rewarded regardless of me not buying into them and warning others.

  All I’m saying is that you and I represent an insignificant minority of money in gaming, and if the majority won’t shop for PC hardware, that will cease to be sold. Completely. You and I will not change that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m telling you that we are in a minority.

  And that unless we can convince at least 50% of gamers to not buy into that, we lost.

  EA should have been bankrupt twenty times over, but people keep buying their games.

  Same as with everything.

  I keep fighting, but this fight has been lost since the start.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you play Call of Duty every release?

  No? Because millions of people do.

  Do you think your actions are offsetting that?

  Because they are not. Nobody is going to sell hardware to a couple thousand folk who won’t get in with the times.

  Put Linux on it.

  It made my Yoga last about 3 hours longer than Windows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Best-Selling Video Games Since 2020⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People keep buying calls of duty like their lives depend on it.

  Make it make sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Lioness does not...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On lemmy there are multiple women-only communities that reach front page regularly.

  If you pay close attention, they also post here.

  I’m suprised how many (at least claim) to be women around here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s exactly what we need.

  LLM producing the code

  LLM approving the change

  LLM agent pushing to prod

  Then wonder why the users are gone

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m afraid that’s going to be a long way off.

  KVM can do it, but usually only to one kernel. Not sure if you can have multiple kernels handling one GPU.
