Yeah, I was using vivaldi before switching to Zen browser (a firefox fork with the sidebar as I like it.) The only thing I cared for was about that UI change.

I thought I was agreeing with you for naïve comparisons between software products. But since you got into my example… I will have to say: from the problems you describe (like getting a signature by both management and HR), I barely see anything related to documentation of PostgreSQL (which was my point). And I struggle to see, for any of the issues you mentioned, how Windows SQL server is any easier. Plus, almost all organizations (Big and small) are using postgreSQL and not Windows SQL server.

Last but not the least, I can’t understand what you’re asking at the end: Does an “entrenched” anything sound “nimble” to you?

???

To be honest, open source and documentation (plus, chatGPT correct answers) are way more coupled in some open sorce projects than Windows and all their magic tricks, error codes, and so on. The fact that there is some sort of commercial support that is bigger or better with proprietary software (generally speaking) is true and partially because of network effect. I do agree with you. But I think it depends on what are we comparing… e.g. Windows SQL server vs. Docker PostgreSQL. I rather stay with Postgres, since it runs all over the world.

As a professional opinionator, I…

I always assumed that the toxicity is in the spores, so I second this…

That’s re-victimization. People do people stuff, like using social networks. Furthermore, the database probably goes as far as previous to being bought, enshittified and renamed by Musk. So… you’re not being fair.

AFAIK that was a telemetry issue that was fixed (but very poorly addressed.) last year. Then someone posted about it recently…

I am using it BECAUSE of the vertical bar. So, I wouldn’t know.

I have been using Sidebery in Firefox for ages now… and TreeStyleTabs before that. To me it’s natural to use the space in the side of the web, since I almost never scroll horizontally but instead need the vertical space…

Thankfully I have been switching to Zen Browser just earlier this week :) I am very happy with the UI and ‘firefox backend’ (I get addons from here, not the highly censored google chrome webstore.)
