I just don't have an idea, why we still need Microsoft SQL, if we have HAF, @arcange ?
What you don't understand is that while HAF may do the trick for some, not everyone has the skill or the will to deploy and maintain such an infrastructure.
That's where all the difference lies and that's what we call service, as @detlev so aptly described it.
We are looking for free and open world here
You seem to be confusing "we" with "I". Don't project your wishes onto everyone.
You don't like it? Don't use it.
Is it bad? Provide us with something better (according to your criteria) with the same level of quality of service.
Hi @arcange , sorry if you get me wrong here.
It is not that i don't like it, and it is not that it doesn't work, I like the Hive and it works well - for now.
But my concerns are, what if, in couple of years, the Microsoft decide to change their policies and certificates (and trust me, they can this, because, we see, in the world, what of power they have to change and influences the peoples lives in the plandemic...), for example, to unsupport, or not accept our decentralized Hive, just some one centralized crypto (done by Microsoft) what their will make, centralized, etc. (it can be, because of the control they don't have here in Hive, or decentralized world). What will be then? Where is going the Hive then? Because, the main engine Hive is working with, or on, is the Microsoft closed DB?
These are my main concerns, and not that it doesn't work ok. Yes, it works great this DB, for now. But, one change in the policies or certificate, and we are somehow destroyed, because of this change.
Therefore, I just want to appeal on devs like you and other, to think about this for a second, and prepare for the future. And yes, i known it is hard to do it. I don't think Hive it was not hard to do, but, we have it, and maybe in couple of years, we don't need fiat anymore, because of great devs have done excellent work with Hive and crypto.
Hope you don't get me wrong, and understand what i mean. Maybe is time to think about future, and not relaying on any of these corporate things. That's what I meant.
I don't get you wrong but, sorry to say, with such a FUD mindset, we should no longer trust and use any private or centralized entities' products or services such as car manufacturers, public transport, connected washing machine manufacturers, ...
I have been working with Microsoft products for years and I do not see why or how they could "unsupport, or not accept our decentralized Hive". I'm pretty sure they don't even know what Hive is or they don't give a damn. Should something happen anyway, I have already analyzed alternatives, which currently do not satisfy me (for many reasons which I will not elaborate in detail here). So I'm not that unprepared.
