Rust cake:

None

😶

I really like Kbin and it’s amazing that Ernest did pretty much everything alone, but I feel like the choice of language will eventually become a bottleneck for the project. A project of this scale needs contributors, but PHP is kind of left in the past relative to other languages, I think many people are put off by it who would otherwise contribute.

Me for instance, I’d much rather contribute to Lemmy which is in Rust and gain experience with an upcoming language, instead of learning PHP just for Kbin and then dumping that knowledge in the closet.

You talk about alternatives yet none of your examples are of alternative solutions

What a fucking dumpster fire of a comment section lmao

No, like I said this also applies to everyone else, I just personally don’t think it’s going to happen…

A cinema chain where I live did a LOTR marsthon not too long ago, it was so wholesome to see all the fans gathered up and clapping at all the important moments, it kinda felt like watching it for the first time

I agree 100%, but it’s important to note that it’s a very difficult issue. Whether someone actually wants to die or if they’re mentally ill and are making a terrible irreversible mistake is often quite a tough line to draw, making this a very complex problem to solve.

User: X feature is not working properly

OSS Dev: Cry about it

User: Switches to proprietary alternative that works

OSS Dev: Why does no one use OSS software??

Scala is really nice and fun, but I get the feeling that it’s been kinda dead for a pretty long time

Do you have some resources on cybersecurity with Rust? I’m not at all experienced in cybersecurity but I’m curious

The EU needs to wake up and go hard on companies and industries. No mercy, no half-assing, just legislate the absolute shit out of them for once so that maybe our children can survive and live in not so terrible conditions, because not so terrible is the best we can hope for at this point.

The rest of the world too obviously, but the EU seems the most likely to do so.

Because they’re causing this shit for decades now, solely because of their greed. If most of them suddenly have a change of heart and decide to put their power to help the world then opinions about them will improve, until then it’s pretty justifiable to want to lynch those responsible one by one like the unhinged murderers they are.

One of my biggest concerns with these kind of platforms is that they’ll end up being a home for creeps and criminals due to a lack of rule enforcement. I don’t want to be ashamed to use this platform or anyone to suspect me for it.

This, so much. I don’t mind porn but I do mind it popping up unexpectedly while browsing all instances in public. There’s so much of it relative to other content that it feels like Lemmy is just used as a porn repository at the moment, I need to find more magazines to sub to

It’s already causing massive geopolitical changes… No one can say for sure where it all leads

This is a pretty huge concern with distributed hosting, I hope there are some safety measures on all instances

I just cloned it and got it running locally today, I’m hoping to tackle a few issues in the backend soon

It was so good and very few people knew about it, sad :(

I think it was just one developer doing all the work too

Out of the pretty small number of database systems I’ve used:

• Postgres: Pretty standard choice, can’t go wrong with it
• MySQL/MariaDB: Also very safe choice, I feel like it’s more feature rich than Postgres but I’m not sure
• Oracle: It reeks of proprietary bloat and it’s unnecessarily different than the previous two in some things, but you can get some official enteprise support if you’re a company
• Influx: It solves a specific problem (time series) but it’s very cool, modern and with api support for many languages
• Microsoft Excel: Obviously the best choice
