No one could have predicted this /s

This might be the wrong place for this question, but I have heard criticism that real rust programs contain lots of unsafe code. Is this true?

Sounds like they lucked out into an awesome job with no real work required.

Sorry that’s the European version I only upvote the American version of the can.

Do you know where this post is when it’s time to pay up?

This sounds like a bug to me. At a minimum, it should be renamed to local subscribers rather than imply that it’s the total count.

This is definitely a sink-or-swim moment for Lemmy. If this is going to work, this is the chance. Twitter and Reddit are imploding. Users have a reason to try something new and are willing to deal with young, buggy platforms because it’s better than the alternative and they needed an Internet home. My upvote taking ten seconds to register is itself the knife’s edge of creation, a new birth.

Just not using the app is better than using the app.

I think that the problem you describe is self-limiting because users can easily make accounts to get around an instance that limits the content users can view or just add an account for a more permissive instance. However, consider the following: humans tend to fixate on loss, and users aren’t tied down to using any particular instance or even just one, so they don’t have to compromise. You don’t lose anything by adding another account on another instance to your client. There are already clients that let you pull from multiple instances automatically.

Defederation that hurts users, by the judgment of those users, on a platform where it’s easy for your users to just join any other competing instances on a whim, tends to select against instances that defederate excessively. That is my hope.

So often I’ve pulled up my phone while it’s connected just to try looking up a destination while I’m parked. Being forced to use only the car interface for Maps while plugged in has always been awkward.

Shame that my single USB port that supports Auto is wearing out! Soon I’ll be reduced to Bluetooth only, and maybe a mount for the phone to keep the screen in arm’s reach without having to look away from the road.
