I genuinely have multiple friends who use that word about themselves. It isn’t negative unless people perceive so.

That must be it
Just a language thing, sorry. In my country this word does not have any negative connotation.
I rest my case
Handicapped people might disagree
I would just have Postgres running statically on some solid hardware. It’s easy to configure permissions and connections, too.
Not too hard to set up streaming replication for a hot standby if you wanna be sure (or offload some reads).
I use Postgres btw
So what is your point exactly? That you shouldn’t charge for software you develop to access a free network? There are plenty of free solutions for you.
My account is 13, but lurked a bit before that. Never installed the official app. Used RES for desktop, and Boost for mobile.
A 1 Gbps up/down in Denmark is around 40-50€, and low speeds like 100/100 is more like 25-35€.
Same for Norway and Sweden. Everything is unlimited of course.
One is a rate of data, the other is an amount.
Mbps means megabits per second.
MB is just megabytes. You can of course turn it into a rate, but then it would be MB/s.
There are 8 bits in a byte, so 100 Mbps would be 12.5 MB/s (divide by 8)
My point is that words are part of languages which change very fluidly, and you could make the same argument for hundreds of other words.
If the word isn’t considered bad by anyone hearing it or anyone it describes, nothing is wrong with it. Many meanings are different between your language and mine, even though they sound alike or share some etymology.
