That last quote had me rolling. Good on Brian for having a working brain.

It also concerns me that so many SD legislators are hearing voices in their heads at home, but I guess that's a problem for their psychiatrists to figure out.

My thumb does not happen to be 7 inches long. Unfortunately, app designers seem to believe it is and put their hamburger menus in the top left.

And my hand's not small. It's moderately sized, I'll have you know.

Why would the president of a different country resign because some US republicans are calling for it? If anything, this makes me think that the US should be sanctioned for foreign interference (not that this is new).

Shortly before the meeting ended, Trump said, “This is going to be great television.”

In case anyone was curious about why it ended so dramatically.

I don't know why I was expecting that to be an American Civil War movie. It had me super confused at first.

Sounds like they need some Flex Tape. One of the employees they fired might even have some lying around if they ask nicely.

Feels like a good opportunity for someone to spin up a Tesla debadging service. Could strip the T off as a show of disrespect.

I think linking to the original article in the description is a good compromise if you're crossposting. That would still save a click for myself and others who aren't too interested in Phoronix's commentary.

Save yourself a click. Here's the original blog post.

I think what I was more hoping that would address are anonymous (and sometimes fake) personas spreading hatred and misinformation publicly and loudly. I guess the problem though is that even without anonymity, people still do it anyway, and Facebook and Twitter are great examples of that. I think having control over your own anonymity is important. I just wish there was less of a feeling that you can harm and disrespect others without consequence.

I keep wondering, if forums and social media platforms required ID verification (probably through a third party with policies against retaining PII) and each account was linked (but not necessarily publicly) to a real ID, would that help? For example, being banned from a platform would be permanent since the ban would be tied indirectly to your ID, meaning that consequences would be real for abuse.

I feel like the core problem is that people can post without consequences. It's both a good thing and a bad thing ofc, but maybe the downsides are too big.

Could also maybe be a more robust "verified" system I guess where all platforms verify identities of businesses/people through a common provider, and even a platform like Lemmy could show who is verified (which would require tying the identity to the account publicly). This would still allow for anonymous accounts, but those who are verified would be able to be held accountable to what they post online in exchange for higher credibility. I don't think the verification systems we've seen already really help that much though, considering how toxic twitter has been basically throughout its entire existence.

A more serious answer would be that Rust can't be compiled to all targets. There is a lot of work to get Rust to compile with gcc though, which would help with this tremendously.

It was mentioned in the notes for 1.84.0 that they began migrating to it. They might be doing it without an edition change if it's backwards compatible (or if the incompatibilities are considered bugs).

Returning the cart, or at least moving it out of the road, means I don't have to get out of my car and lob the cart at your car as you drive off move the cart out of the way to park my car. Decency has nothing to do with what you do for yourself - it's all about what you do for others.

Personally I don't really care where the cart is as long as it's out of the way and not a problem for the store's staff to access it.

For me, it highly depends. Turn-based strategy games, I can easily play at a much lower framerate (30 is fine tbh though I always appreciate more). FPS-style games? 60 is a bare minimum, but 100+ is what I would consider to be enjoyable.

I'm not aware of anything that's specifically drag-and-drop, but slint supposedly has a live preview that could be helpful.

Is there a reason it needs to be specifically in Rust?

In at least a couple states, the police have said they won't follow demands from ICE without a court order. It could be a lot worse. Progress is still progress.

This is the real battle that should be fought against antisemitism. Not random symbols that people have used for decades to mean completely innocent things. Someone who would heil multiple times on public TV and openly post and share hatred on major platforms.

It's a shame the ADL refused to call him what he is when it mattered: a nazi.

Usually the serialization/deserialization code, I keep with the model. The part where a file or whatever comes in, I leave that to the caller to decide on. In other words, the model knows how to serialize and deserialize itself, but not where it's being serialized to or deserialized from.

Then again, in C#, it's usually just a couple attributes on my model, and in Rust, it's usually just a couple derives. It's rare I actually write much, if any, serialization logic by hand.

Trump's FEMA chief lied to the agency

These headlines could be a lot simpler if they weren't so roundabout.
