- Comment on Strawberry should be spelled with an H 1 day ago:
may I ask what your first language is?
- Comment on Strawberry should be spelled with an H 1 day ago:
Do you have this problem only with “strawberry” or also with “straw” alone? What about other words beginning with str-, like street or straight?
My first language doesn’t have syllable-initial st-, yet pronouncing any of these words is no problem for me at all in English.

- Comment on "Open source Windows" ReactOS is now 30 years old 1 week ago:
It’s not really suitable for production use yet. I ran it in a VM a few days ago, got a BSoD within a few minutes just from doing completely normal things.
As the other comment said, the main usefulness is the fact that there is already a lot of Windows-only software out there and it’s useful to have a way to run all of it on a FOSS operating system, even if Wine is for one reason or another not an option.

- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 2 weeks ago:
Not a new debate at all… xkcd.com/1914/ and the context for that was yahoo.com/…/twitter-suspends-verifying-accounts-g…
I agree that if “verification” is going to be a thing, it should only mean the person or organization is who they claim to be, not imply endorsement of any of their activities.

- Comment on Europe 2 weeks ago:
I remember reading that the first two don’t allow free discussion about Zionism (one bans a lot of anti-Zionist speech, the other has an explicit rule against all Zionism), so I avoid posting there; I think communities that aren’t specifically ideological should allow a wide range of free speech. The third one is AFAICT better, so are !europa@lemmy.world and !europe@sopuli.xyz.
There is also !EuropeanUnion@europe.pub for things that have to do with the European Union, which is somewhat different from the continent of Europe. The community this thread is about isn’t explicit whether it is about Europe or the EU.
- Comment on Deshittification 2 weeks ago:
I subscribed to the new community this thread is about; but then again, your comment does kinda make me think that there are already communities like !freesoftware@lemmy.zip or !libreculture@lemmy.ca or !right2repair@discuss.tchncs.de which should cover a lot of the topics that may be discussed there. Let’s see whether anything unique ends up actually talked about there. :P

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?

- Comment on xkcd #3191: Superstition 3 weeks ago:
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 weeks 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.

- Comment on xkcd #3191: Superstition 3 weeks ago:
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 3 weeks 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.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
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.
