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 1 day 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] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Eh. I mixed them. My bad.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

That's crazy.

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] 10 points 1 day 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

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 2 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.

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] 1 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [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 2 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] 97 points 3 days ago (4 children)

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

Thank me later alligator.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day 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 1 day 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 149 points 3 days ago (1 children)

wait until you hear about this project called lemmy

[–] [email protected] 99 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 1 day 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 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 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.

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