Except it’s been 2 years and most people haven’t yet migrated away from Twitter to anything.

Yes let’s hope minorities suffer under fascism. That’s a good strategy.

For a linux phone

The proton drive app does not have a way to automatically sync a specific directory. It’s so infuriating, because they already have this implemented for the pictures.

I’m suggesting building a Rust library and exposing a C ABI. That’s what rsvg does for example.

You’re aware that Rust gives you access to the full C ABI?

What language are you going to use instead that has a better ABI story? Swift? Or maybe a dynamic language like Python?

Like sudo that has had zero days lurking for 10 years?

I’m not advocating for reimplementing stuff for no good reason though.

Zig is a very new and immature language. It won’t be kernel-ready for at l’East another 10 years.

a better syntax

That’s pretty suggestive. Rust syntax is pretty good. Postfix try is just better for example.

Zig also uses special syntax for things like error and nullability instead of having them just be enums, making the language more complex and less flexible for no benefit.

Syntax is also not everything. Rust has extremely good error messages. Going through Zig’s learning documentation, half the error messages are unreadable because I have to scroll to see the actual error and data because it’s on the same line as the absolute path as the file were the error comes from

No hidden memory allocation

That’s a library design question, not a language question. Rust for Linux uses its own data collections that don’t perform hidden memory allocations instead of the ones from the standard library.

it’s more readable

I don’t know, Rust is one of the most readablelangueage for me.

Fast compile time

Is it still the case once you have a very large project and make use of comptime?

it’s simpler to learn

Not true. Because it doesn’t have the guardrails that rust has, you must build a mental model of where the guardrails should be so you don’t make mistakes. Arguably this is something that C maintainers already know how to do, but it’s also not something they do flawlessly from just looking at the bugs that regularly need to be fixed.

Being able to write code faster does not equate being able to write correct code faster.

Really great interop with C

Yes, because it’s basically C with some syntax sugar. Rust is a Generational change.

It is absolue in safe Rust, aka 99% of Rust code.

Because voting has very limited choice and a winner takes all mechanism. Ob-fucking-viously the candidates should be better, but not voting won’t make that change. Trump elected will just make this worse.

Voting is harm reduction.

If you want to make things better and promote your own idealised society, get involved, donate to causes you consider to be up to your standards. But even then getting involved and convincing future candidates will be much harder if Trump is elected than if it’s Harris.

One more example of the USA sending their garbage to foreign countries…

That first one looked like a guy dressing as a woman for a costume party or something

That’s… what drag is

WhatsApp has MITM on the server side which is how Facebook scans your messages for targeted advert

You shouldn’t make claims like this when there is no evidence for it.

Signal which (unless they changed something with the profiles thing) was always P2P E2E

Signal has never been P2P.

And now you can have it through NAT-PMP on ProtonVON

They dix not build the compositor from scratch, they built it on top of smithay, a library similar to wlroots but written in Rust.

I don’t know if you’ve actually tried to use GTK or QT, but it’s insanely painful. There is a reason almost all apps are written in Electron. Native GUI toolkits suck. If they had used GTK they would have still had an outdated and hard to maintain toolkit, and to deal with Gnome politics. Using GTK was actually the initial idea.

If we want Linux Desktop to succeed, at some point we have to build tools that people want to use. I’m glad they’re doing it.

I don’t mind them having account there. They need to reach people where they are after all. I’m pissed at them for not being on any platform that is not owned by a fascist enabler oligarch at best.

Yeah, the greens had a risk of not getting 5% so it was much more worthwhile to vote for them.
