I don’t think so to be honest, I have never seen it here :-( Maybe in a couple years

I have seen it mentioned quite a few times on websites. Can you actually pay normal shops using that?

I mean, I am all in for labeling, but banning it? Is that what’s happening? why would anyone do that

I read that this is actually coming. I forgot what it was called though. Fingers crossed.

it’s somehow scary how many overlaps there are with falling empires from the past, I miss the USA that used to be

I learned a bit of rust and I think it’s just about getting used to it. It’s fairly subjective, and people say the same about C++. I also prefer the C syntax because I find it’s simplicity extremely elegant and prefer it to have fewer features. And I like it for it’s consistency, on linux the FHS is based up on C, and it just somewhat feels ugly to break that consistency.

But I also acknowledge the advantages of rust.

Fair, I’m all in for de-bloating! The only problem with plugins is that it can become increasingly difficult to provide the same quality of testing and quality, because you can’t possibly test all combinations of enabled plugins - even if most don’t interfere with each other, it can easily break stuff

yeah I don’t like it neither, my view is just a bit pessimistic unfortunately

They care about doing the least amount of work while making the most amount of money.

I mean that’s what capitalism does in a nutshell. Lower costs and increase the price. It’s optimized for profit, not for the best product, unfortunately. The only thing that should keep it within lines is competition, but if the competition isn’t any better it won’t help

Man I just wish there were better alternatives to MasterCard and Visa.

All these desperate attempts to protect copyright. I understand it, I want to publish things and not have it scraped by AI, but let’s be realistic here. No government in the world wants to miss out on AI. The general public profits enormously from AI too. I doubt any of that is going to succeed.

Yeah, it’s a weird combo for FOSS because macOS is quite the opposite of what FOSS stands for. However, quite a few people think it’s the best and… I don’t know

it works just fine because people generally earn the same depending on education, experience and profession. There are tools online to check what range you can expect based on your parameters, and then there is some flexibility based on your person/skills. The salary is then negotiated during the application phase.

could be, I can’t judge that. do you have any source for that info or is it based on an assumption?

Yeah, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with coding in rust for people who like it. But I do think it’s quite a bit of useless work that could be spent more wisely on new products instead of rewriting things that we already have

thanks! reading my comment again I feel the need to highlight that I did not try to imply it is not happening, I just let out some frustration about the article not being specific enough for my taste

It is possible, it would bring in quite a few restrictions though. The bigger problem I see is that it wouldn’t be entirely clear as an end user whether a program is memory safe or not. However, this isn’t the case with rust neither. Maybe some kind of certification would help

Well this is obviously personal to some degree, but for me it would be to fix bugs, don’t crash, dont make me restart after an update and lose my incognito tabs, focus on being w3c compliant, block ads, maybe allow blocking annoying cookie banners and maybe allow good keyboard navigation. I like some features other browsers have, such as integrated tor browsing - but since I am not a big fan of bloat, I’m not sure whether that should be handled outside of the browser

I’m quite unhappy with spotify. I don’t care about the price, but it keeps repeating the same and same music again, and the percentage of crappy AI music is increasing. You can clearly hear it. Their client isn’t open source, and it’s just a wrapped website. It sucks.

wtf
