I'm a walking ad for PostgreSQL, free and open-source RDBMS. It's so much better than any other database, you should give it a try.

I am none of the above.

Laravel is shit.

I can believe it became popular only because devs don't care about the code.

no cap

Terraria is the easiest one.

I wish I had more time to play other single player time sinks like Dwarf Fortress, or even BeamNG.drive.

Compared to MySQL most definitely.

Granted, Oracle has pushed some fresh air into it, but still it has a long way to go.

Yakuza 0 got me very hard in the feels...

Such a shame that the next ones (1-4) weren't as good. But Zero... what a ride.

Sort of harsh approach, but I get it.

Though I did learn the most while having a lot of data and had issues with performance.

Studying Postgres in that job was the absolute best part, I learned so much, and now I can't find a problem Postgres can't fix.

There was a running joke in my last office that I was paid to promote Pg because every time MySQL fucked something up, I would bring up how Postgres would solve it. I even did several presentations.

Then we migrated to Postgres and suddenly everything is stable as a rock, even under worse conditions and way more data.

I just love Postgres so much.

That which is dead can no longer die

Wow, do I have some stories for you.

But in short, there's a lot of FOSS software that people use every day without knowing about it.

And it gets no funding, because why it should.

Companies making 9+ figures have issues sending even a $1000 to an open project that they depend heavily on.

But Microsoft/Oracle/VMWare/Google licenses? That money just shoots out like from a cannon.

Even if those products are not 100% needed and can be replaced.

Good news, everyone!

Vampires don't need heating!

Or groceries.

They will send you away, and then there's nobody else to stop them.

So what goal do you want to achieve?

booo

These days?

You mean like this century?

Specifically Google and Adobe have always been abusing their position. I'm not sure what exactly has ever changed, apart from them getting bigger and more brazen, but they have always been bad ethically.

Who doesn't hate their clients?

And doesn't feel at least a bit of hate for themselves?

Pls delete this right now, I don't want that image in my head, thx

I don't think there is a reason for this specific article to exist.

He's doing so much worse things, and we all know he's WAY past his deadlines.

And he never meant a single word.

Except when he said "If she wasn't my daughter".

Vincke says his wife will divorce him if their next game isn't out 5 years from now.

I also choose this guys wife

Because those options give you no agency anyway, it's not like those answers affect the plot in any way.

What? What kind of raw deals do you guys get?

In Europe I could always return the Windows licence and get over 100€ back.
