I remember reading that the first two don’t allow free discussion about Zionism (one bans a lot of anti-Zionist speech, the other has an explicit rule against all Zionism), so I avoid posting there; I think communities that aren’t specifically ideological should allow a wide range of free speech. The third one is AFAICT better, so are [email protected] and [email protected].

There is also [email protected] for things that have to do with the European Union, which is somewhat different from the continent of Europe. The community this thread is about isn’t explicit whether it is about Europe or the EU.

I subscribed to the new community this thread is about; but then again, your comment does kinda make me think that there are already communities like [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected] which should cover a lot of the topics that may be discussed there. Let’s see whether anything unique ends up actually talked about there. :P

That’s not what I asked. I asked about a comparison of both of them to PostgreSQL.

Are there real advantages to using either MySQL or MariaDB instead of PostgreSQL?

ok, I have to address the elephant in the room: is the bad image quality intentional (part of the joke) or not or what is going on here?

in case it gets fixed, here it is right now:

TIL that there is a 2x size version of many xkcd comics, which the explainxkcd bot seems to have downloaded and which looks a lot better: https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/File:superstition_2x.png / https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/superstition_2x.png

edit (c. 9 hours later, the morning after in my timezone): ok, it seems it has been fixed, so it was apparently not intentional

I wonder if that was intentional, to post this at a time when there are different years in different parts of the world. :D

You mean the part about spinning counterclockwise?

In the original text form https://what-if.xkcd.com/42/ this was just a link to the comic, I guess that wouldn’t have worked in a video.
