The Rust Lang Ecosystem — Trans Megathread for the week of December 16, 2024, to December 22, 2024
A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
from rust-lang.org
Rust by itself is a great language, but what really makes it shine are its many great crates. The ecosystem around rust is one of the best there is, and its documentation is practically unrivalled. So lets look at some of those crates!
actix-web
Actix-web is an amazing web server framework for rust. It's modular, easy to use, intuitive and fast. It's also what lemmy is built on! So when you use this very site, you are using something build with actix!
Bevy
Bevy is a code first game engine for rust, based on the ECS paradigm. It's incredibly refreshing and different from most other engines. It is also unbelievably modular, in fact, just about every part of the engine cam be removed or added as you please! If you are every looking for something simple to play around, try bevy!
Tokio
The backbone of most asynchronous rust. It provides everything needed to build reliable, fast web applications!
Serde
Serde is the go-to library for serialization and deserialisation in rust. Its derive macros make it a breeze to use, and there are countless crates supporting various formats with Serde!
SQLx
SQLx is an amazingly simple sql handling crate. It is both feature rich and yet simple, and just a joy to use!
Reqwest
A neat little crate for sending http(s) requests! It's also used in Lemmy, and just about anywhere else where someone needs to do get some thing from an http(s) endpoint!
And this is far from all! Rust is a lovely language, with an even more amazing ecosystem!
Have an amazing week, everyone!

alcohol, nicotine, self crit, bit of preening too, dysphoria and some weird sexuality discomfort stuff
Telling myself "I'll stop drinking and smoking again after New Year's"
Neglected my upper body shit and just did cardio today but honestly had my best session ever??? Hit 1111 kcals burned on incline treadmill in one sesh and was going for more than an hour without a break
Did good on household chore stuff and the kitties were pretty good today
Feeling weird about myself tbh
Like, not even necessarily bad but odd, I've felt a bit more masc/butch than I usually do lately and I dunno what to make of that
Part of it is presenting kinda more androgynous and spending a lot of time in proximity to gym bros and not wanting to stand out too bad in an uncomfortable way and masking my gender shit and queerness
Part of it could be endocrinology shit from exercising a ton and my levels might be out of whack in a more masc skew
Libido's been higher than usual? Kind of an annoying chore tbh, I've kinda felt like I did fairly early into both of my puberties where it was like "goddamit, seriously again??"
Feel bad about looking at random ppl with some thirst, especially women and feel bad about feeling like my attractions and impulses are too male and feel bad for the women like in the abstract just from being attracted to them
Feel bad about weird smut shit I've looked at that was hot and then immediately off-putting after uh, interest wore of because off uhh, accomplishing the goal there
Have some weird feelings and thoughts about gender and sexuality and idk if I wanna get into them now but idk, feel weird
I neglected some self care grooming shit today just out of exhaustion and feel bad about it
I feel like I'm craving some feminine social interaction and femmy stuff for myself, I don't remember the last time I wore makeup or dressed up or did a manicure and I feel like I'm neglecting part of myself and feel kinda sad about it
Generally lonely and weird feeling
Idk, but I'm glad to be able to post here and interact with you lovely ppl
test post please ignore
Part of it could be endocrinology shit from exercising a ton and my levels might be out of whack in a more masc skew
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure exercise doesn't do anything to your hormone levels, so being a gymrat likely isn't related??
feel bad about feeling like my attractions and impulses are too male
Do u wanna talk abt "male" attractions and impulses............
Have some weird feelings and thoughts about gender and sexuality and idk if I wanna get into them now but idk, feel weird
If u do wanna get into em I wanna listen, could be good. I find your feelin a bit more masc/butch to be interesting tbh.
You should get some feminine social interaction and femmy stuff for yourself as well, you deserve it
Hope the loney and weird feeling doesn't last long
sexuality/gender stuff, masc/butch feelings being kinda dysphoric stuff
If u do wanna get into em I wanna listen, could be good. I find your feelin a bit more masc/butch to be interesting tbh.
Yeah, idk? I know part of it is just from being more masc masking socially lately but feeling attracted to a woman "in a male way" makes me really uncomfortable
I feel like my sense of self is like, 65% femme 35% queer uh, not-man but kinda masc?? "Boi" maybe? Idk. Whatever that blend is pretty much describe my sense of enbyness and self though, I'm definitely not a guy and I don't really think of myself as a "woman" ever per se but I frequently feel like I'm "lady-adjacent" kinda? Maybe a third thing or in the middle a bit slanted towards femme-ier?
Anyway the attraction impulses towards women make me uncomfortable partially because it reminds me of feeling like a "straight" "boy" as a teen before I realized I was queer and not really a guy actually
Uh sorry if TMI too but uh, the impulses being uh, kinda top-y is strange to me too
(I find women beautiful and lovely but uh, kinda a bottom and am most attracted to like, futchy top energy women generally and the thought of topping is strange and dysphoric to me, it's like, the sexuality equivalent of writing left handed to me mentally and makes me uncomfortable and weird feeling about "seeming like a guy" or "not really a trans femme)
((I don't think this way about other trans femmes who are tips or vers, it's just a weird internal hangup)
Idk, I wanna do better at self care
Might do a home spa day thing tomorrow and paint my nails or something
waow
I know part of it is just from being more masc masking socially
I dunno if I know this one but I think I kinda do. When I had guyfriends in the past, it was kinda draining to talk to them. It's probably hard to explain without illustrating in detail how profoundly fuckin weird I am, but they weren't talkin about stuff I wanted to or in ways I wanted to. This that we're having now, LocalOaf, would not happen with The Boys. They could never
Anyway I'm being a pithy asshole but I'm still waiting on a good definition of "male attraction". Usually people do just mean being top-y, and so I've never really managed to nail down what attraction models are gendered how... In split attraction model, is purely sensual-sexual a MALE attraction? Idk... (annoying annoying) To quit being a huge dickhead for a sec:
make me uncomfortable partially because it reminds me of feeling like a "straight" "boy" as a teen before I realized I was queer and not really a guy actually
Yeah I mean that's understandable honestly, not really a pleasant reminder. I realise now that one of the reasons I'm so chill (relatively speaking
) is that there's a pretty solid dividing line between the "me now" and the me that everyone thought was a guy. I guess the difference for me is, I stopped feeling a lot of the weird shit I felt when I was 14 years old. If you're still feelin the same ways and unlikely to change, disentangling those feelings from your past could be a project. By the same token though:the thought of topping is strange and dysphoric to me, it's like, the sexuality equivalent of writing left handed to me mentally and makes me uncomfortable and weird feeling about "seeming like a guy" or "not really a trans femme
I mean, it doesn't make you seem-like-a-guy or not-really-trans-femme, y'know. You are ALLOWED to think and feel and do, it is allowed. But also if it's dysphoric and unpleasant for you, again, project... Idk like, are you gonna stop feeling these types of sexual attraction?
Also lmao of course, it is ALWAYS only a weird internal hangup that applies to ourselves...
I'm definitely not a guy and I don't really think of myself as a "woman" ever per se but I frequently feel like I'm "lady-adjacent" kinda? Maybe a third thing or in the middle a bit slanted towards femme-ier?
Pretty cool if u ask me =) and I can relate to the selfcare thing, I feel like an unkempt street animal somewhat frequently which I do not like. I haven't really built up the inner want to just dress pretty around the house though, Idk sweatpants comfy..........
sexuality/gender stuff
You're not being "a pithy asshole" about it at all lol, thank you for the reply.
I dunno. Part of the hangup towards women is just the discomfort of hypothetically approaching someone I'm attracted to irl and feeling like I have to explain myself. I think I'm only really able to date other queer people and not knowing if someone I'm attracted to is a cishet or not from first impressions can be daunting. Part of it too is like, feeling weird about seeing myself as desirable to someone else? Like "wait, what if I am attractive to someone, but in the wrong way
"I've been gendered as a (kinda fruity) guy before by cis women who seemed interested and it really kinda put cold water on the interaction like immediately for me, like "oh honey you're nice but you've got me all wrong and I don't have the energy to explain things when I can tell you're looking for something/someone else altogether from the start here" if that makes any sense
Maybe weird too, but I have less hangups about that with being flirted at by gay men?? Like sorry to any gay men that might find it offensive, I don't mean anything bad by it, but something about gay flirting even if they're misreading me as a queer guy still feels to me like "well at least they can tell I'm not a straight guy" and like, "being read as queer (bottom)" by a guy is... uh, kinda Gender in an indirect way for me? Like, mentally to me, being misgendered like that isn't as bad as misgendered as a straight guy if that makes any sense? "Guy (straight)" and "guy (queer, being flirted with under a presumed dynamic of being read as a bottom or bottom-y verse by someone that seems like a top)" feel like, distinctly different genders to think of myself as being misread as internally if that makes any sense?
I dunno
This whole thing smacks of Gender, etc
which is rad btw
Okay well you are welcome then
the discomfort of hypothetically approaching someone I'm attracted to irl and feeling like I have to explain myself.

Part of it too is like, feeling weird about seeing myself as desirable to someone else? Like "wait, what if I am attractive to someone, but in the wrong way
Oh yeah, I mean this is a whole seperate thing I think. I'd be fucking pissed if a cis woman ever misconstrued me as a fuckin' fruity boy. And being misconstrued as a straight guy is just erasure. We cannot trust the cis
I think the difference in approach makes sense, though. Your gender percentages almost rsad as genderfluid to me at points... but it's like, it reads to me that being read as Queer (bottom) is close enough to Gender for you, maybe it's the contrast between you and the presumably-masc gay guy doing the flirting? But when you approach a woman, you wanna be related to inna femme way, right? So having a woman treat you that way is not fuckin pleasant. Tell me how offbase I am, but I think I get it.
Also this top-bottom sexual social order is distressing wtffffff
the genders are determined by sexual role?? More power to ya...TL;DR this post has been fact checked by TRUE TRANSGENDER PATRIOTS and rated T4T.
spoiler
I mean, I'm not insinuating that those are like, Gender™️ genders, but the way orientation interacts with gender is kinda fascinating to me? Like, is "man (straight)" a different gender than "man (gay)"? Is "woman (straight)" different than "woman (lesbian)"? Or like "man (masculine)" vs "guy", or "lesbian (femme)" vs "lesbian (butch)" or stone butch as its own gender identity? Idk, it's fascinating to me. (also people who self ID as "fem boy" but not as a trans femme? No shade to anyone, I just find it all interesting and confusing at times as someone that often feels like they (ze? see even cementing that mentally feels odd for me) are only ever at best approximating my own sense of self by relation to noticing how other people relate to each other and working it out for myself by process of elimination of what doesn't fit for me.
something something gender? I 'ardly knew 'er, nyuck nyuck nyuck
spoiler
Gender is fuckin fake shit...
I mean, while sexuality is very arguably marginalised more due to its gender connotations as per Bornstein, (because queerness breaks cisheteronormativity) practically speaking I am pretty sure woman (straight) and woman (lesbian) can be pretty much the same gender. I think. It also depends on how much one considers sexuality to be an essential element of gender though, which varies...
See like, what if we just didn't think about it and were just gay (or other) instead?
This shit's such a brainrotter because there aren't actual definitions. It was made up, but by funny queers this time.I just find it all interesting and confusing at times as someone that often feels like they (ze? see even cementing that mentally feels odd for me) are only ever at best approximating my own sense of self by relation to noticing how other people relate to each other and working it out for myself by process of elimination of what doesn't fit for me.
Idk your pronouns are pretty neato to me =) and I mean, I think that's an okay tactic, I mean what else are you supposed to do, right? Sadly I don't think there's theory that helps tell you what your gender is, unless you're a very specific strain of gender accelerationist.
I dunno, what do you want to be? Considering that you can be pretty much whatever, y'know. Whatever feels good to u.

Idk your pronouns are pretty neato to me =)
Aww, thanks!
I kinda like ze/hir but never used them irl and pretty much just go by they/them with IRL ppl and usually don't bother correcting strangers, might work on that but idk, I kinda just hate the hassle most of the time more than the occasional misgendering bugs me but ehhh
I dunno, what do you want to be?
Ain't that the million dollar question lol
This feels silly to think and I shy away from really articulating this sometimes because I feel like it might come across as insensitive to binary trans ppl but uh
I kinda really wish I was an AFAB enby?
Like, I'm getting better about my self image and less uncomfortable with things I can't change and focusing on improving the things I can, but height/frame and junk bug me and bottom surgery seems really scary to me and is financially something that's miles and miles away for me if I ever wanted it and ehhhh, idk how I feel about it
One of the things that sticks in my head thinking about my appearance and bums me out sometimes is often thinking "I wish other people could describe me as 'elegant' and that doesn't really seem attainable in a way I'd be happy with given the hand I've been dealt"
I like feeling strong, but I just feel... clunky? Or "the wrong kind of androgynous for what I want?" I dunno, it's kinda hard to pin down sometimes but I frequently feel "off" like my sense of self has a hole in its sock or something
spoiler
usually don't bother correcting strangers, might work on that but idk, I kinda just hate the hassle
I gotta admit yea, and I don't even have cool pronouns. Whenever people irl are like 'woman!' it's just, yeah whatever y'know, close enough.
I shy away from really articulating this sometimes because I feel like it might come across as insensitive to binary trans ppl but uh
What if it was insensitive to non binary trans people
Sorry the more I think about this the less sense it makes, I dunno. Only by being assigned female can you be short, have small frame and vulva? I get the point but it doesn't feel on to me, Idk.often thinking "I wish other people could describe me as 'elegant' and that doesn't really seem attainable in a way I'd be happy with given the hand I've been dealt"
I think I sort of grasp this, but this is also getting sort of impressionistic, a bit abstract. I mean, I know what "the wrong kind of androgynous" means sort of, because that's when you are androgynous but randomly with gender connotations, blegh this shit is awful.
I'm not trying to be a jackass or anything, I'm just having trouble grasping this all the way, Idk
