Top comment on the lemmy world this was cross posted with points out among other things that the app isn't a system app and doesn't otherwise have permissions to access most of what is claimed here, and from a cursory glance at the app on my phone that claim looks correct. is there something I'm missing or is this post just wrong?

So they both store data in a table like structure, but that's about where the similarities end. Excel is useful for handling smaller more flexible data sets, but has performance, scalibility, storage, and structural deficiencies compared to SQL, it's also harder for computer languages to communicate with a shared excel dataset and modify it vs SQL.

One of the major issues with excel as a database is data limits, excel only allows for ~1 million rows. Considering there are ~1 billion possible SSNs, excel would not be a great medium for them for that reason alone.

One big advantage of SQL is you need to structure your data on the creation of the table and it's designed with the expectation that all data will fit a structure, including unique keys, format, and other limits and structures. This allows you to enforce database rules easily and massively reduce storage size and query times.

There are a bunch of other reasons for using SQL but most of it boils down to either it's faster, easier for multiple computers to access and read/modify simultaneously, or better for enforcing rules and structures when modifying it.

This is actually really strong for a max level artificer as they get a +1 to all saves for each attunement

Works great for moon druids too, to give them a ranged option in wild shape.

Its funny, I'm currently using popos and my experience printing was easier than windows by a mile. Literally like 2 buttons clicks in the first related menu I found.

Likely depends on what's needed/used as feed

Honestly, if they caught the hint, understood what it meant, and took action, that would be a miracle and would totally be worth some cheese.

It does, but giving a warlock enough dex (which considering they dont get heavy armor prof is reasonable) to pass a dex save occasionally and like 18 hp is all you would need for this to be a major issue.

You keep doing that to older DnD players too, except you drop hints that the enemies are in a cult that has been giving them power and when the wizard does fireball them, the wizard gets hit by a dozen hellish rebukes from all the young warlocks they just hit.

What changed? I thought that is still what they did.
