500k viewers is a low number even for a smaller country like Italy, let alone USA, if it wasn't for cable fees, how could they survive?

Many counter examples exist. I've seen with my own eyes US written softwares, Oracle and PTC, that were pure shit. Qt, KDE and Apache Flink origin is european, AFAIK, and they seems quite decent.

Google 2022 net income was nearly 60B. 20% down from 2021, when there still was a pandemic, but in 2020 net income was 40B. They still are making a tons of money while trying very hard to cripple their future of every product but search ads

"But also, I've had very positive experiences interacting with the KDE community. Bugs get fixed, the developers care, I can send out PRs and they get merged." I'm not an OSS dev, isn't so with Gnome community?

Would you use postgres to queue a billion messages a day consumed by dozens of applications? Or a message broker like kafka? Would you store dozens of TB of data in postgres or in a dedicated data lake? Would you put your business logic in

At least in Italy you may be surprised how many people use a RDBMS for almost everything. Business logic with stored procedures, FTS, queues, OLAP, data lake... It's the tool the know and they don't want to learn something else.

I don't agree with the comparison between Microsoft and Google, MS has many more successful revenue streams, whereas Google still relies on ads for ~80% of its revenues, I think Google business is not yet in danger, but maybe more frag

Two years ago I moved to a new company using Postgres as THE relational db, coming from years of Sql Server I found poor query plan issues troubleshooting tools. Anyway, I don't know if it's the same in Postgres, but in Sql Server

Well, one could say that Apple sells overpriced luxury items... And look at the pile of money FAAMG are making, also their products are extremely overpriced. Running stuff on AWS may even considered a luxury by many. I'm joking, but no
