Totally, though I wouldn’t bother switching if your project is half assembly anyway. Unsafe Rust definitely has some beauty to it, but only if there is some safe Rust to embedd it into

What did Rust do to FFmpeg to make them so mad lol

Why not remove all age restrictions then? I mean, you can get drunk or start smoking as a teen if you really want to. Yet many don’t, because is iconvenient.

And I also don’t buy this ‘kids get cut off’ shit at all. You can use Youtube without an account, no problem. You still have easy access to news and websites. You can still network with other people and join, for example, group chats or TS servers. Heck, it’s like, what? 10 Platforms that are (semi-)banned? Half of the people on earth grew up without social media at all, yet some people talk about this like it’s the air they breath.

That very fact just reinforces my suport for the ban a lot. If you really need social media, just go to the fediverse dammit. It is incidentally not banned and almost guaranteed to be better than the dataharvesting ragebait shitshow with gambling ads that’s mainstream social media these days.

I love FIDO logins and next to fucking no one implements them :(

That has to come from someone who doesn’t know the bliss of micro

Rare AI W

Edit: On Anthropics part I mean x)

I think AI is great for code review. It’s a best-effort process anyway, so letting an AI loose in addition to a coworker doesn’t hurt. So far it beats any human review by far, because it can detect even the most obscure (potential) flaws

Vibe Coding is a security problem literally everybody except vibe coders warned about

Proton has Tor-alike 2-hop modes. You can have the server accessing the illegal content elsewhere and Spanish authorities wouldn’t know, except if they went looking for it in e.g. Switzerland

Jesus Christ (alive and well)

Can’t wait for the revival in 20 years

We’re past that point as well. 4k @ 240 Hz is so good, most people won’t be able to tell the difference to an 8k, 480 Hz monitor. Even if they pay special attention to it. Probably not even in A/B testing.

There is still room for improvement in the area of HDR, but monitors are almost as good as they will ever get.

Well, I don’t know whether it’s by default, but systemd does so - if the program doesn’t close in a timely manner (or there is an exception configured)

PSA: GitHub does not have a monopoly, you are free to host your stuff elsewhere (or yourself)

Say it with me: It’s not vibe coding if you read and understand the code.

That is not vibes, that is knowing what you’re doing and working based off of a suggestion.

ChatGPT can just about summarize a page, wake me when it starts outsmarting anyone

I mean, Rust has the massive upsite that it won’t compile in many cases if you fuck things up. Then again, embedded or generally low-level driver-y stuff is still in its infancy in Rust. Relative to C/C++ that is.

There is stuff that you need that has no official Rust support. There is poor documentation and half baked frameworks. There are examples being silently outdated, breaking changes between framework versions, and nighlty-versions from Github mixed in to fix them. And then of course plenty of timing and hardware dependent things you will need to do yourself.

I do this for a living and personally tried to use AI here and there to help me out, but oftentimes it fails miserably. Not always, but very often.

Rust is an unreadable mess to you because you can’t read it. It has a steep learning curve, but the reward is one of the most reliable and efficient languages ever created.

Okay, so if I come up with a random question about some framework, your brain will give me the answer?

I use LLMs on a daily basis. Mostly as a search engine replacement and, to a limited degree, for coding (e.g. comments, boilerplate). I am not against it coming to my browser in principle, but on the other hand, I can just visit Lumo, Duck AI or whatever else to have AI in my browser. So Mozilla basically has to find an answer to the question of why I need more AI in my browser.
