That "most people" part kinda reminds me of this: https://xkcd.com/2501/

I recommend "new comments".

I've never used the terminal on Android for anything serious. I've used it, but only for really nerdy things most users will never need.

KolourPaint is very close to an exact clone of MS Paint from around Windows XP.

There are also xpaint and Pinta, which are somewhat different, but might satisfy your requirements too.

Not a new debate at all… https://xkcd.com/1914/ and the context for that was https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/twitter-suspends-verifying-accounts-giving-154625015.html

I agree that if "verification" is going to be a thing, it should only mean the person or organization is who they claim to be, not imply endorsement of any of their activities.

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?

I use it all the time in web browsers (Firefox/LibreWolf can do it even on Linux). I learned to use computers on Windows (mainly XP), so as far as I'm concerned, that has "always" been a thing, so why would I not use it.

Former Windows users who expect that to start scrolling. I remember that happening to me when I was new to Linux.

It's a thing some people occasionally do. By itself it's neither a good idea nor bad idea, but people have certainly been confused by it before. It's better to use software for its actually intended purpose, that is less confusing both for oneself and everyone else.

I have long found it more useful what the middle mouse button does on Windows (start scrolling) and hope that becomes widely adopted, even outside browsers, on Linux one day too. Good step in that direction.

This wasn't too hard to figure out: that user is (for whatever reason) banned from lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/u/yogthos@lemmy.ml
