A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Microsoft uses Oracle, to give you a sense of scale.
I read this as Microslop can't operate postgres
Ms does use postgres. In fact in was a dev on the postgres team at microsoft that found the russian malware in XZ that almost got included in red hat lts and compromised the entire internet
There's no conclusive evidence it was Russian. It could just as likely be American, Chinese, Israeli, French, etc

M$ actually bought Citus Data, so they are embracing Pgsql.
