Maybe I just don’t think “country” == “government”, and I try to be careful with my phrasing so as not to make blanket pejorative statements about people.

India is pretty much a piece of shit country

All while being racist as hell

Cognitive dissonance much?

This makes me so nervous about how AI is going to influence children and adolescents of the coming generations. From iPad kids to AI teens. They’ll be at a huge risk of dissociation from reality.

One thing I like a lot about Rust is that it rarely does blow my mind.

But one crate that actually did blow my mind is corosensei. It’s not Rust per se that is so crazy here, but the way it’s essentially implementing a new language feature with assembly code. This is how you know Rust really is a systems programming language. I invite you to read the source code.

Clippy will warn you if you don’t use this feature.

Sounds a lot like the AT Protocol.

What are you talking about? BlueSky has absolutely nothing to do with Facebook. It’s a different company using the open AT Protocol.

Technically it’s an open protocol. Whether or not any other implementations will surface remains to be seen.

Don’t most YouTubers make more money with their own sponsorships than from YT ads? Can we start the mass migration to PeerTube already?

I love that the EU is cracking down on tech, but I also wish the US government could get in on that awesome rake.

I’m not in the market, but I’ve actually had similar thoughts of building a project on top of NixOS that’s focused on self-hosting for homes and small businesses. I recently deployed my own router/server on a BeeLink mini PC and instead of using something like OpenWRT, I used NixOS, systemd-networkd, nftables, etc.

DM me if you want to discuss more. I think the idea has potential and I might be interested in helping if you can get the business model right (even if it just ends up being some FOSS thing).

Sorry if this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but how do we know that BlueSky isn’t padding their stats with internal bots? I could see this being a viable strategy to attract users and overcome the social network bootstrapping problem.

Not exactly. I’m talking specifically about being able to call axum::serve with non-Send futures.

Stop using Brave, people.

I’m not sure what tokio (or axum) can do to avoid the trait bounds. Would it makes sense to provide a “share nothing” runtime implementation that can be injected at startup? I wonder how the intermediate layers (e.g. axum) would indicate that futures are usable by a more generic runtime which may or may not need Send + 'static.

Without some way to write generic code for either runtime, the whole tokio ecosystem would end up bifurcated by this choice of runtime.

Rate-limiting could also be applied at the federation level, but I’m less sure of what the implementation would look like. Requiring filters on a per-account basis might be resource intensive.

Why resort to an expensive decentralized mechanism when we already have a client-server model? We can just implement rate-limiting on the server.

The only correct answer is to be consistent with the code base you’re working in or the language’s conventions. If neither of these conventions exist, then someone has already failed you.

It seems irrelevant whether this person is using encrypted channels if they failed to maintain anonymity. If they distributed material and leaked any identifying info (e.g. IP address), then it would be trivial for investigators or CIs to track them down.

It’s so ironic how many downvotes this is getting in the context of this thread.
