I knew what it was but clicked anyways.

Fuck you and have a nice day.

@skisnow @neme nice try but we can see link target in thumbnail 😝

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Darn. Problem with the Fediverse is you don’t know how things will render on other people’s clients.

I don't know what Rust is but glad to see anyone leave X or Facebook. There is a swimming pool at the local military base where my son wants a job as a lifeguard, but to find out when they are hiring, you have to go to their Facebook page. A government entity that requires you to sign into Facebook to see what they offer and when they are hiring.

Rust is a programming language.

Rust is the stuff metal gets

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

No. Rust is a multiplayer map featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

No, Rust is a multiplayer survival game

I wasn't on X, but now I've created a mastodon account :)

[–] xav 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You've managed to create a 2+years old account, congrats

[–] KillTheMule 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Huh? I might be misunderstanding something (maybe a joke, even!), but this is my lemmy account, that's kinda older indeed. How would that be connected to my mastodon account?

[–] xav 1 points 23 hours ago

Eh. I mixed them. My bad.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I'm happy with doing so just so I can see comments without signing in again. I do believe social media was geting too highly censored, and I dont trust the government to decide what to censor.

But you cant call yourself the "town square of the internet" while hiding things from people you cant monetize.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

Yep. Twitter and Discord are the two most annoying walled gardens I can think of when it comes to projects (like FOSS dev).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Good news, it was mostly private for profit entities doing the censorship

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

That's crazy.

Oh nyoooo, Rust is woke

  • Lunduke (probably)

He crapped on Debian for this reason too. & for some reason people think he's a journalist.

Also will Pleroma & Akkoma get any love & I also hope they create a Matrix room as well

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I really liked his "Linux sucks" presentations when I watched them many years ago, but I didn't know anything about him beyond that. Then some time last year I saw that he made another one, and I decided to watch it mainly for nostalgia, and I was shocked to see so many points about how linux companies are woke, something about opensuse firing anyone who was right-wing and redhat doing some white shaming move or something. I paused, checked his actual channel and holy shit. More than 90% was anti-woke "journalism", and has been for years now. I was severely disappointed.

[–] mke 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Niccolò, KDE developer, made a video about Bryan's... everything. It's revolting. People still bringing up his stuff must be either unaware and thus should be informed, or they're complicit. Having talked to a few, I've noticed it's usually the latter.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just finished watching it, and honestly that's the idea I got after those red flags that jumpscared me when I was watching that linux sucks video. I think I watched them up until 2018, and I remember finding them entertaining and they always ended on a postive note, but I knew absolutely nothing about Lunduke apart from those 4 or 5 videos, that's why I was so shocked to find out that he's a generic right wing parrot.

As a sidenote, Niccolò seems like a really cool guy. Thanks for sharing the video, I subbed

[–] mke 2 points 11 hours ago

Glad you liked Nicco and found it informative. I think his takes are usually grounded, and his software development background helps. I certainly like him a lot better than most tech influencers, if he even counts as one.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

something about opensuse firing anyone who was right-wing

I knew my OS of choice was awesome but damn. 💗

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

His "Linux Sucks" series was also rage-bait, He's a shill & lacks morals & attacks any FOSS projects for not being on the side of politics that he is in.

Most of the FOSS outlets have outright banned him & his community from interacting since he's a menace

[–] [email protected] 100 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The official Rust project account will no longer be active on Twitter

Thank me later alligator.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I used (for a short time) to maintain a usage of Twitter instead of X, to participate on pissing of Musk along with the crowd, but to me it makes no sense anymore, X is indeed not what Twitter was years ago. It's not a name rebranding anymore, we all here know that. And IMO, Rust would not have left Twitter, like I wouldn't have. We left X, with everything that new name carries with.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Functionality changes, community and users are changing and off course the leadership, rights and branding changed. Right, I think its fair to distinguish the Musk era with his X branding, from the legacy Twitter. So I give you that.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Twitter hasn’t existed for a while. Rust didn’t leave twitter, they left a corpse

[–] Colloidal 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It’s to clear possible confusion with X11.

Surprised it didn't rewrite it's own X with blackjack and concurrency

[–] [email protected] 151 points 3 days ago (1 children)

wait until you hear about this project called lemmy

[–] [email protected] 101 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Lemmy was written in Rust?

(Edit: damn, over 75% of the codebase is rust. Nice)

It's funny how many people are against this. They sure do like to lick elon's boots.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Honestly I'm laughing at those comments. Most of them are outright pathetic, not just sad or annoyed or smug but childish and pathetic.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago

Those people wrote a "hello world" and gave up after having to do something using an ampsand (&)

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 days ago

It's funny how many people care one way or another. It's a programming language, and if I want updates, I'll check their changelog. They have incredibly consistent releases, so why would I need a notification on SM when they release again on that schedule?

I don't get it. Post or don't, I don't care, just write good code.

I don't understand why any business is active on any social media, especially ones run by billionaires.

Post your shit to a website.

Have it auto-mirror to a social media platform.

Funnel questions back to your own website.

Done.

[–] MXX53 32 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I have been recently reminiscing with some friends about the internet back when instead of massive websites that held everything, there were small forums with specialized focus. You could get to know the people in the forums over time. It was so much better than the shit that exists today.

I would love to join forums made by these projects. I don’t care if I have to have a bunch of accounts. Individual forums and RSS feeds are awesome. Since moving to RSS I have drastically reduced my mindless scrolling.

[–] FizzyOrange 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Ah yes phpBB those were the days. Wait, no they weren't. They sucked. Old forum software was one of the worst computing experiences I remember.

Want to download a custom Android ROM? Hope you like reading through this 120 page thread one page at a time. Oh and each message will be surrounded by a metric mile of profile pictures and signature.

RSS was pretty great though, I'll give you that.

Good. No one with any sense still uses that site.
