I do in fact exist

I'm an information sponge, so if you have some question that you think I might have an answer to, feel free to ask! Even if I won't have it off my head, I know how to look up things fast.

@quad@akko.quad.moe there's a reason why I said "like" (tho didn't know there were 5 different aptX ones lol)

weird that even with the speakers being able to only run with a single protocol, it's still different, I'd guess somebody put some sort of filter in the android audio chain for phone speakers, yet it still gets applied for external audio as well

@kline@mastodon.sdf.org I don't think that the feature in particular is toxic (tumblr has it and it's fine, very good even), rather the twitter culture used it in a very toxic way.

And like, it's not as if you can't do the dumb shit that led it to being awful on twitter - you certainly can - it's that the moderation on fediverse is miles better and that prevents it from getting out of hand. Misskey and *oma instances have had quote posts for a couple of years now, and I've never noticed/seen complaints about it being a problem.

@sun@shitposter.world @feld@friedcheese.us ok, I understand it with oracle because of it's toxic licensing

But like, I've rewritten a whole bunch of stored procedures - e.g. from postgres to mssql and then back to postgres after some changes while it lived in mssql. Was fine.

And yes, if you put all of it in stored procedures, you're gonna have a bad time migrating (guess why oracle wants you to use them so much), but as I said, you should have either small ones for consistency, or large ones for large transformations/analytics. The first case is easy to rewrite because small, the second case is a pain either way because the alternative is just having all of the sql in some script or whatever and you're gonna have to rewrite it either way.
