Welcome to the Rust community! This is a place to discuss about the Rust programming language.

I wasn't on X, but now I've created a mastodon account :)
You've managed to create a 2+years old account, congrats
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
No. Rust is a multiplayer map featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
1v1 me in C++
Go
You're Basic
No, Rust is a multiplayer survival game
The stuff Iron gets.
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.
Yep. Twitter and Discord are the two most annoying walled gardens I can think of when it comes to projects (like FOSS dev).
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
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.
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
something about opensuse firing anyone who was right-wing
I knew my OS of choice was awesome but damn. 💗
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
The official Rust project account will no longer be active on Twitter
Thank me later alligator.
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.
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
wait until you hear about this project called lemmy
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.
Honestly I'm laughing at those comments. Most of them are outright pathetic, not just sad or annoyed or smug but childish and pathetic.
Those people wrote a "hello world" and gave up after having to do something using an ampsand (&)
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.

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