Yeah,
I did a speed test comparison between Oracle MySQL and MariaDB MySQL,
MariaDB is about 10 times faster.

FYI: When Oracle bought MySQL a lot of developers left and created MariaDB, so the brains behind the project moved, and in the meantime Oracle did a great job of fucking things up.

Well, it ain't just the EU :/

Our right to privacy is under attack basically globally (EU, USA, England, Australia, maybe more, but those I'm aware off).

Being wrapped into bullshit reasons "to protect the children" or "to fight crime", which won't help, since malicious actors and creative kids will find work arounds for such measures.

The truth is likely more to put a oppressive surveillance police state into place. Where opposition can more easily be tracked down and silenced.

Now it's more important then ever before to protect your rights to privacy. Since rights are easily eroded by politicians, but very hard to re-gain afterwards.

E.g. look at Russia, where you accidentally slit your throat while shaving if you try to voice yourself against Putin.

 

Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

Real AI does not exist yet,
atm we only have LLMs (Large Language Models),
which do not think on their own,
but pass turing tests
(fool humans into thinking that they can think).

Imo AI is just a marketing buzzword,
created by rich capitalistic a-holes,
who already invested in LLM stocks,
and now are looking for a profit.
