@csantosb Them web pages which force you to tear the tab off the browser into its own window, so that you can resize it to make the text palatable…
@unknowing8343 @Custodian6718 Generally speaking not my opinion.
@thingsiplay @Sunshine That’s the most banal post I’ve read this year.
@Max_P @stewie410 This is just wrong. Taking a stand against things like this causes change for the better in the long run. Rails will survive without DHH, like Linux survived without Reiserfs and MySQL survived after Larry Ellison. There may be some pain involved, but we owe it to ourselves to tread the better path, and make bad people just socially unacceptable.
@csantosb Is this really the recommended way to run Rust? Rather than the one which Guix provides directly?
@slazer2au @Shadow_Glider And have you ever even tried Guix? Not systemd…
@csantosb Should point out that the script is also blind to use of ‘guix shell’. I’ve stopped using that for this reason…
@Aatube Your web site seems to have an SSL problem.
@FizzyOrange @morto #nix and #guix do exactly this. It is 2025.
OFF TOPIC, but, how do you do the stand-out quotes like that?
@warm @LOLseas @0ndead @hellmo_luciferrari Because the British are still misunderstood by the rest of the world.

@chronicledmonocle @cm0002 … given all that, it just makes sense to systematically rewrite everything that exists in C as Rust. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.
@chronicledmonocle @cm0002 The real answer is that some people just want something to do.
The more philosophical answer is that after C (circa 1960) there have been lots of developments in programming languages, both translated and compiled. Rust is epochal in that it takes all the best features and has the right defaults based on 50 years experience. Most notably it is the first language which understands the code it is compiling, and is thus able to see errors and make deep optimizations…
@Scoopta @cm0002 The point is that if everything was open Linux support would be so much better as we would understand the working of the hardware so much better, and we should do everything we can to discourage manufacturers from adopting this stance. FOSS has the great benefit that anyone in the world can improve it, and then share their improvements with everyone else. That makes a better world. Just better.
