Laravel is shit.

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

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.

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.

For what purpose?

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.

Emerge, baby!

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.

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

I also choose this guys wife

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

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

They are quite expensive, which is a shame

First of all, what do you consider to be a reputable company?

Second of all, what does it change who is hosting it, Immich doesn’t support e2ee, so even the ‘reputable company’ can see your photos.

Third, who says I don’t have a company?

Give me an expected disk usage and I will give you an offer.

It’s LLMentalist time again!

Because many cities are already draining aquifers which aren’t being replenished due to the lower rains and higher demand, and once those are gone, both servers and people will be absolutely fucked?

Isn’t Google going to do it themselves?

Microsoft never had any different plot, it was always about this, from the very start.

I finished Eternal on Nightmare and almost never used the hook.

Both 2016 and Eternal were best on the Nightmare difficulty.

The start sucks, as you don’t have all the tools, but it teaches you how to approach the arena combat. Once you figure it out, and you start to enjoy running around the map blasting everything in the face, you just do that for the rest of the game.

(I have not played DLCs, as even Eternals EULA angered me too much).
