Oracle Has Been Tracking Over 5 Billion People

In this video I discuss the class action lawsuit being brought against Oracle for tracking overt 5 billion people across the globe, I also discuss Oracles CIA origins (No, I'm not joking).

@sjw wait i thought it's only installed on 3 billion devices

@xarvos More than that. An absolute fuck tonne of sites still use MySQL.

Just that much more reason to switch to MariaDB I guess...

@sjw I wasn't aware MySQL belongs to Oracle. I didn't watch this video, is this about MySQL? If that's the case, I sure hope distros maintainers will pluck it out soon

@xarvos I don't think he covered it in the video but yeah MySQL had been owned by Oracle for like 8 years now. A lot of the original devs got butthurt and forked it making MariaDB which was originally a drop-in replacement but it's diverged to the point it's starting to become it's own thing. You should still be able to migrate from MySQL to MariaDB in place without issue and also get much better performance but going the other way around is pretty iffy besides why would you even want to do that?

That being said, postgres is still the best relational database. Not only will it not eat your data but it will also perform way better than MySQL or even MariaDB.

@matrix can attest to that after I bullied him into migrating to postgres.

Postgres is literally the best relational database you can use.

Actually, I'm curious to see how it performs against the likes of MSSQL (kind of it's only real contender if MSSQL doesn't make you an hero first). Oracle SQL server is pretty much off the table since its licensee forbids you from benchmarking it.
