My experience with Mastodon was that it’s generally realy nice exxcept

1. It’s a little quiet, and

2. Of the conversation that is there, too much of it is about Twitter.

It’s kind of like hanging out with your friend who just had a bad breakup and doesn’t want to talk about anything but their ex.

The Lemmyverse feels kind of like that.

The subreddits I spent most of my time in aren’t here or get about a post a week. If I wanted to read about how spez is a bastard, however, I’d have reading material for months.

I’m generally happy with it, though, and plan to stick around. I just moved from lemmy.ml over to midwest.social, and it seems like a great little community here.

Sometimes I’ll start up ConnectBot, which is an android ssh client, on my meta quest. Then I connect to my laptop and attach to a running tmux session so I can use the laptop keyboard but see the text in a virtual window.

My actual laptop setup is pretty boring though

Drm on Steam is optional. It’s up to the dev whether to include any or not.

However, if the game uses any steam features, like achievements, voice chat, leaderboards, etc., then those won’t work without steam.

Which is weird, because far left communists are the absolute last people I would expect to support Russia or China.

It doesn’t. All the time you spent reading manuals and tweaking configs to get it to boot quicker does.

It’s also worth noting that before bevy, there was a rust game engine called Amethyst, which was planning on using a scripting language for gameplay code. Not having to use a scripting language, but getting to use rust instead, was one of the big selling points of Bevy overr Amethyst.

That’s what I don’t understand. China isn’t a Communist state, not since the 90s. They gutted their social safety net, lowered taxes on the rich, privatized most of their economy and then sold all their industry to multinational corporations. They’re farther from communism than the average EU country now, and about on par with the US.

Same with Russia. Russia is basically Galt’s Gulch now, which is why a segment of the GOP love it so much. It’s like he lemmygraders stopped paying attention around 1990 and think nothing has changed since then.

I remember getting into political arguments that went nowhere at the time but resulted in me changing my mind years later. The people I argued with never knew about my change of heart. As far as they knew I was one of those people who get more entrenched in their beliefs.

What I’m getting at is that your arguments can hit home without looking like it. What you’re seeing as getting defensive could just be the early stages for them changing their minds.

This can be especially true if someone’s political beliefs are part of their identity. You don’t make those kind of changes all at once.

So I’d say just argue in good faith, don’t try to score points, provide food for thought if you can, and hope for the other person to eventually find their way to the truth.

Soon we’ll be able to emacs the way the developers intended.

I finally watched the talk today and that wasn’t what I thought he meant. What I thought he was getting at was that the rust parts of the kernel interact with lots of other modules written by people who don’t know rust. When those C modules change their semantics in ways that break the rust code, they can’t go fix it because they don’t know rust. In fact, whenever they make a change, they don’t even know if they broke some rust module, because they don’t understand the rust code well enough. And this is something that everyone is going to have to live with for the foreseeable future, because you can’t force all those other kernel hackers to learn rust.
