For Rust, as I understand, crates.io hosts a copy of the source code. It is possible to specify a Git repository directly as a dependency, but apparently, you cannot do that if you publish to crates.io.

So, it will cause pain for some devs, but the ecosystem at large shouldn’t implode.

It’s gonna be problematic in particular for organisations with larger offices. If you’ve got hundreds of devs/sysadmins under the same public IP address, those 60 requests/hour are shared between them.

Basically, I expect unauthenticated pulls to not anymore be possible at my day job, which means repos hosted on GitHub become a pain.

But do they also randomly explode all over the place when you enter a room?

You have to think of them more like a club rather than a non-profit company. Their legal form “eingetragener Verein” does mean “registered club”.

Basically, here in Germany, you can register a non-profit club and then you get exempt from taxes. And folks who donate to your club can also get that donation exempt from their taxes.

Yeah, I’ve also found that just being bombarded with information all the time tenses me up. You might think of scrolling Lemmy or similar as “idling”, but obviously your brain is still processing information when you do that.

Ah, damn. There’s folks out there who either like C or dislike Rust for whatever reason and they’ll always try to caveat what you say about this topic, so I made sure to only list facts. That’s why I got kind of angry when I thought you were still trying to caveat it, without spitting out whichever fact you thought was wrong. 🫠

Any particular part you didn’t understand or just too much tech mumbo jumbo in general?

Oh no, it’s worse than I thought, you must be blind then. (Folks with red-green color blindness would see a 17 in that picture.)

:P

I think, the problem is rather that they have no budget for marketing. If they become visible on Steam, that’s significantly more visibility than they can hope for from a few social media posts…

So, quick quiz question: What number do you see in this picture?

Gibt tatsächlich keine so richtig gute Übersetzung für “to post something”.

Man kann “veröffentlichen” (“publish”) sagen, aber das klingt sehr formal/wichtig, als hättest Du ein Buch verfasst.
Äh, “verfassen” (“to author something”) kann man theoretisch auch sagen, klingt aber auch formal.
Manchmal macht “hochladen” (“upload”) Sinn, aber eben nur wenn man tatsächlich ein Bild oder Video irgendwo hochlädt.
Und auf der deutschen Fassung der Lemmy-Webseite wird “(Beitrag) erstellen” (“create (post)”) verwendet, klingt aber immernoch einigermaßen formal und man muss eben dazu sagen, dass ein Beitrag erstellt wurde.

Deshalb wird informell schon auch tatsächlich ein denglisches Wort verwendet, nämlich “posten”. Also ausgesprochen wie das englische “post” + das normale -en.

GIMP’s focus isn’t on drawing, but rather on manipulating photographs. If you want to be drawing circles easily, then Krita or Inkscape or any number of simple paint applications will do that…

To be honest, I have no idea. I’m not a Roman numerals/date crack myself. The tattoo definitely wouldn’t have been faithful in that regard, but it’s also not like they intended to be accurate down to that level…

Personally, I like it as an example here, because yes, technically you can’t know for sure that a fish feels pain, much like you can’t know for sure that a cat feels empathy, but it’s illogical to assume that if we don’t know about it that it doesn’t have it. The base assumption should be that these animals are similar to us, because they’re really not that different from us.
In particular, pain and empathy are crucial to survival for us. It would be extraordinary, if fish and cats survived without any notion of it.

For that purpose, I use a language with a decent compiler, but I know not everyone is as lucky…

(they anatomically can not have empathy)

You got a source on that? Not to be rude, but it sounds like the nonsense that meat eaters in denial tell each other like “fish can’t feel pain”, even though when you poke a fish, it obviously reacts to that.

I have a web music player that I’ve developed, and while it was never really intended to be used by others, I thought I had generally followed accessibility best practices. After using it for about two years, I realized that I never even implemented keyboard shortcuts. 🫠

Which is to say, one shouldn’t assume devs to know what they’re doing. At some point, I’m also just a user and I use software like everyone else does, meaning I pick out a path that works for me and then I hardly look left and right from there.
Features not being tested when you don’t use them yourself, that happens with any feature. But it’s much worse for UI features, because those are difficult to automate tests for. And accessibility is in an even worse spot, because it necessarily opens up a separate path, which is going to be invisible to me as a user, so it gets covered by neither automated tests nor by me just using the software.

I have to go out of my way to test accessibility, which means I have to be aware that a change I’m making might introduce a regression. That’s genuinely how lots of amateur developers work, which is probably the best explanation why accessibility support is often so amateur-ish…

I mean, there’s definitely gonna be worse out there, but I once saw a tattoo on an online post, of presumably their date of birth in roman numerals.
Problem is, there was only one “M”, so it looked something like: IV/X/MCXCIV

But I figured, alright, let’s not assume things, maybe they’re a history buff and something cool happened on that day in 1194.
But if I remember correctly, I found some list of all Wikipedia articles for specific dates and that day did not have an article, because nothing noteworthy had happened.

So, yeah, I guess we do have to assume that they are in fact a vampire.

Seems like someone might’ve seen your post: https://floss.social/users/kde/statuses/114483397979979965

That’s always kind of bothered me about the whole generative AI thingamabob. Why are we generating things and storing them, when the ability to generate more of it is right there?

I mean, I know in lots of cases the output is extremely flaky, so it’s not as easy to just generate the same thing again, but yeah, it still feels kind of backwards…
