  • Is the culture of Rust/Cargo getting as bad as JS/NPM these days

    Thanks for saying it.

    When I see some rust projects, they looks like they where managed by JS devs (“1 need, 1 package”) that want to do compiled language… The amount of dependencies can be utterly insane.

    For me, it mostly means rust have a strong package system, not that rust have good devs.

    I’m doing Python at work and you have to use a many pypi package for financial reasons (yet, I restrict myself as much as possible), but seeing this mindset is scope specific open source project is crazy.

    All of this does not means all rust (or JS) devs are bad, its just a consequence of bringing code to the masses: Its a good thing in many way. Lets acknowledge this and not being impressed by badly engineered dependency choices.




  • GPL is basically a contract that code will always be shared if distributed. This licence ensure any distributed library will give your code (legal standpoint).

    MIT is more a use as you want licence. Devs can take the code, build and distribute binaries without restrictions.

    They are not made for the same reasons. If you want to write Libre software, GPL is your friend.

    As other says, rust build statically by default, having a MIT ecosystem help to spread the langage. Yet, this also mean someone can see its code used in a commercial product without sharing back, credits or counterpart.

    Different uses.

    Haha, a PA fellow here!

    PA is very cool when you find players matching your skills. I have good memories of 4V4 games, when both teams synchronise to puts players with the same level at the same starting location so everyone have fun.

    It does not have that much soul, IMHO, and performance problems when games stands too long on multiplanetary systems.






  • On Lemmy, your informations are less protected because of the fediverse design.

    In other words, the « privacy » and « protection » is on your own :

    • VPN for the IP
    • Trashed email from trusted source.
    • I’m sure there are other things to keep in mind.

    It’s not as at Internet’s beginning. Now authoritarian countries have a lot of tools to track and find opponents. West countries don’t give a fuck and sometime even helps authoritarian countries to have those tools running. It’s a global movement that countries are slowly keeping Internet control back. Sad time for global free of speech.

    Stay safe, bro!
