That’s not what I asked. I asked about a comparison of both of them to PostgreSQL.

Are there real advantages to using either MySQL or MariaDB instead of PostgreSQL?

That’s just a link to the image hosted on xkcd.com, so if that is still pixelated, it’s probably a caching issue.
- Comment on xkcd #3191: Superstition 3 days ago:
By “the post” what do you mean? The one in my comment is obviously the pixelated one, I am going to keep it that way for future documentation; the one on xkcd.com has however been fixed.

ok, I have to address the elephant in the room: is the bad image quality intentional (part of the joke) or not or what is going on here?
in case it gets fixed, here it is right now:
TIL that there is a 2x size version of many xkcd comics, which the explainxkcd bot seems to have downloaded and which looks a lot better: www.explainxkcd.com/…/File:superstition_2x.png / imgs.xkcd.com/comics/superstition_2x.png
- Comment on ARPANET, the precursor to the internet, was established in 1969 4 days ago:
I mean you know that the Internet is nowadays instantaneous because accessing websites, instant messaging, online phone calls, etc. are instantaneous …
Email isn’t really intended to be used as an instant messaging system. A lot of the time, email clients are configured to only check for new emails periodically. Email servers might be configured to have some delay to avoid using too many resources at once. At least for me, emails (e.g. password reminder emails) do usually arrive within a few seconds, but indeed not always as immediately as instant messages.

It’s a thing some people occasionally do. By itself it’s neither a good idea nor bad idea, but people have certainly been confused by it before. It’s better to use software for its actually intended purpose, that is less confusing both for oneself and everyone else.

I wonder if that was intentional, to post this at a time when there are different years in different parts of the world. :D

I post a lot and don’t usually get hateful insults, in fact most of what I post gets no comments at all.
The way I find most things I post is literally just that I repost them from my Mastodon feed.
- Comment on How will Australia's ban on youth access to social media affect instances hosted in Australia? 4 weeks ago:
This is a complex issue and both of the comments above are way oversimplifying it…
Lots of governments around the world are nowadays claiming that their laws apply to all or many websites that can be accessed in their borders. Whether they can enforce this if the website has no physical assets in the country is a very different question. They could arrest their operators when they enter their countries (as happened to Pavel Durov), or they could geoblock websites, or… here are some starting points for further research:

- Comment on EU 4 weeks ago:
Assuming “EU” means “European Union” (the acronym can stand for other things too): if you don’t put “Europe” or “European Union” in the title or sidebar, no one who searches for these things is ever going to find this community.
also there is already !EuropeanUnion@europe.pub

- Comment on Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on? 5 weeks ago:
I remember reading that Loops (? - may be wrong about which one) does the same thing, only displaying statuses with videos in them. I have not, so far, seen anyone claim that that is a bad thing, and frankly don’t agree that it is. If we can’t do that, then we can never have specialized platforms built on ActivityPub, e.g. platforms only for videos or for photos, etc., and that would severely limit what we can do with it.

In GTA 5, get on a train, get a wanted level, try to keep the wanted level for an entire round-trip around the map, then try to escape the wanted level, all while staying on the train and surviving.
(it’s been a few years since I tried this and don’t remember if those were the exact rules, but they were something like this)
