If I had a million dollars I’d start a company that sets up and manages federated software like Mastodon and Peertube.
I’m just this guy, you know. Except on Lemmy.

I’m also that guy. And every time I say I don’t like raw tomatoes someone pipes up with “Well you just haven’t had a good one.”
I promise you, I have had what people call a good tomato and I still didn’t like it.

My ex-MIL has TMJ and chews with her mouth open so I’d say her eating kettle chips, jaw clicking with every bite.

True, and I keep those folks in my prayers.
But if you’re on MySQL it’s a lot less of a lift to switch to MariaDB than it is to go to Postgres, even if Postgres is better in some ways.
Oracle is such a terrible company for their customers it makes a ton of sense to try to get them to switch to a less abusive company
MariaDB tried to go public a while back and their stock price tanked immediately and never recovered. If they hadn’t gotten acquired I imagine they’d have gone out of business.
MariaDB.com is separate from MariaDB.org that does the development, so it shouldn’t be too bad.
Then again, the folks working at MariaDB.com might have a different opinion.
There were so many web apps written in the early 00s on the LAMP stack, including Facebook. And that’s not counting the tiny internal applications that so many businesses have that use MySQL/MariaDB. Because these are business critical applications, they pay Oracle/MariaDB for support.
MariaDB is actually two separate entities: The company MariaDB and the MariaDB organization. The company sells enterprise licenses and support, and the organization manages the actual development. So there’s a little separation that will at least slow the enshittification.
It’s the original water cooler talk. Probably weren’t talking about tv shows, though

Yes, and that amount of power is frustratingly small, even if you’re an elected official.
If I listened to you I’d be out painting guerilla bike lanes on that stroad. That would be exercising power in an non-frustrating way.
Because it sounds even more frustrating than just voting for someone.
One really good example is the stroad that’s preventing good bike infrastructure. The roads that are managed by the township have bike lanes - even if they’re not separated - but the stroad is a state route, so we have no bike lanes on the main connection between these lanes, and limited pedestrian infrastructure.
This is why we have kids getting bussed to the school that’s across the road from their house.
Man, things sure have changed since I was in college. The university had one /15 and three /16s so every single ethernet port everywhere on campus had a publicly routable IP.
Napster was so goddamn fast…
I doubt that. My dad got elected to a town council and was pretty disappointed about what the system let him accomplish.

And waltzing.
And books.
