Exactly :) That’s what I mean as well, sure there are great things written in rust, but they are great because they are great, not because they are written in rust :)

I’m very much aware of that, I have programmed stuff in rust as well, but claiming that it’s secure and “better” because it’s rust is just pr, believe me, I can write some really sihtty rust code.

I’m no evangelist for PHP, but I say use the tool that you know, when I make a new program I’m going to do it in nim, because it’s the langauge that I have the most fun working with. It has mostly the same pros as rust, just with a lot nicer syntax and it’s generally more flexible.

No shade on people liking rust, but this constant parroting of the same point by people who probably never even used the langauge is getting kind of old.

Well if you look at their app talent would be stretching it…

“We absolutely must ship what we said we would” Yeah right, everything else they have promised never led to anything, but this, this we have to push through :p

No it’s something used to start makinga discussion sour, you put words in my mouth that I never said, it’s not that you used the wrong word, you decided you didn’t like what I said and wanted to shut me down, or should we say… censor my opinion.

There are places where they can, or else I would have not known about it, and I do, so there is obviously something. I also know about things that happen in china that that government doesn’t want us to know, because people I have interacted with who are from there have been sharing stuff.

I don’t know where you get this “hate” from, there is no reason to put words in my mouth as I never said I hate it, I just disagree that it’s a good idea. But that you are already grabbing for disingenous tactics like that really tells me enough about you, so that’s the end of the discussion for me.

There is a huge difference between moderation of posts on a platform and an authoritarian regime… That’s a long stretch, having a platform deleting something you posted that doesn’t fit in, or is hatefull is something completely different from having an authoritarian regime going against you, if you have an authoritan regime then having something on a blockchain that can’t be deleted is an extremely bad idea as well, that’s another problem with that that I didn’t see before, so thanks for that at least.

I don’t think no censoring is a good thing, opens for a LOT of harassment.

The problem is that crypto is unregulated, the regulations are there for a reason, to stop things like ponzischemes and all the other things that already has happened that fucked people over. Maybe if they got regulated in some way, so that those things couldn’t happen easily, as it is now, I would say no.

I’m mostly a hobby programmer, and I mostly use nim for most of the stuff I do, it just works very well with how I think and things just work, which I’m really happy about. The type system is really nice, with the right kinds of granularity for things that I want to do.

For now I’m mostly focused on learning the langauge that I use, and I have been playing around with a lot of different stuff, maybe some kind of forth would be nice to do some real down to the metal stuff, but I very seldomly have to do that. I did play around with factor for a long time, and it’s a very interesting language, it just never really felt comfortable for me, more like a fun puzzle game in a way.

It’s a fun little project to do :)

Yeah, and you can just fold the first comment in the chain and the whole chain disappears as well, so it’s not like it’s that much in the way either.

I nuked all my posts and comments as well.

Well, that kind of sounds like the normal rust propaganda, don’t get me wrong, I do think the language is decent, it’s just tiring to see so many people just buying into and parroting some weird claims like “it’s rust, so it’s secure”

If you like light hearted lyrics, gloryhammer and Angus McSix are pretty fun, they don’t take themselves serious, and I love them for it.

Basically yeah, “free speech” and shitposting, basically right wing bigots doing bigot things.

Yeah, that’s very much the case for me as well :/

They might have been on an instance that federate with things like poast and noagendasocial

Been on it for almost 2 years for now and I really enjoy it :) I mostly just use it to remember what I read and how I like books for myself, and to share which books I’m reading with friends.

Also they don’t have the language skills, I’d be serously impressed if they managed to scrunge up employees with the language and culture skills for many subs.
