I’d absolutely qualify it as non-secure in this context. Signal is E2E encrypted but there are no systems in place where it understands who’s added to a chat and validates access based on ACLs or anything. Authorization policies are critical in securing systems.

Four times??? We’re almost diving by zero here. Sanders is basically infinity times more sane.

Ecosia is building a custom search engine index, ETA summer 2025

Scientists should consult tech people about stuff like this just like we should consult scientists for science stuff. Unfortunately a lot of tech people also aren’t conscious of this stuff either.

Instances are stores (think Amazon or Etsy). Products are posts. Sellers are users.

Stores aren’t protected from being defederated. You can still search Google or whatever, still visit the site and buy stuff. It just will not be a unified search, just like how anything else works with ActivityPub.

The good stores would be run by admins who don’t have an incentive to defederate from others. Stores don’t make money or take a cut from sellers anyway. The sellers aren’t in charge of the instance, just like an Etsy seller can’t do anything about the fact that they have competitors on Etsy.

The need for decentralization is that the store / Amazon / Etsy is broken up but the search and interactions, reviews, etc. are unified.

I think it makes sense. It would allow a decentralized unified search across all stores. With Lemmy I can search posts as long as the instance is federated. With this I could find products.

I’d say Rust is definitely mainstream. Obviously not the level of JS or Python, but it’s being used all over the place. All FAANG companies, the Linux kernel, JS runtimes, web browsers, Android, Signal, Mullvad…

IMO GC has nothing to do with high or low level. It’s just incidental that there’s a correlation. In GC you usually don’t need to think about manually allocating or deallocating memory or truly understand what pointers are (in some ways anyway). In C / C++ you do.

In Rust you almost never manually allocate or deallocate, and you have both very high and low level APIs.

I’d say Rust is both high and low level. It just depends what you use it for. If you want to build a CLI or a web server, it’s great for that. If you want to do kernel stuff and choose to flip bits around you can do that too.

As for books, maybe you’d like trying Rustlings instead.

…why do you think Twitter had anything to do with getting Musk into the White House?

1. Rust is the best language for writing WASM in, so you can write Rust and run it in the browser without transpiling to JS.
2. Rust isn’t just about speed or GC pauses. Its type system is amazing and allows you to encode things that you cannot in any other mainstream language.
3. It’s so incredibly well designed, it fewla like that clip from Ricky and Morty where Morty feels what standing on a truly even plane feels like then has a panic attack when he leaves. Rust rethought everything from scratch, and isn’t just some new syntax or fancy compiler tricks. No null, no exceptions, no inheritance, new typing capabilities, etc.

Go made some pretty poor design choices, and now even Google is choosing Rust for a lot of stuff instead.

Hyundais are very good EVs

Not sure, I’ve been looking at Graphene myself but haven’t used it. Just passing on what I’ve seen.

Custom ROMs are all different. Some suck, some don’t. I’ve heard very good things about Graphene. You can even install it from the web in a couple clicks.

Google Pixel + GrapheneOS

Also, if you think Apple’s completely closed source software is more trustworthy than Google’s mostly open source software… LOL

Because they, a company that markets itself as free thinking, are supporting a platform run by a Nazi.

If you want to buy the app

GrayJay is free, just FYI

I’ve had several places say they only deliver through DoorDash.

We’re talking about Bernie Sanders taking money from Big Pharma. If you have any evidence that he did, please share.

Andy Yen is a right-wing Libertarian that have no idea what he’s talking about.

That’s enough for me to leave. Add on to the fact that Proton has been severely mismanaged since its inception. He’d rather prioritize crypto wallets and shoving AI into email than getting basic shit working.

I just moved away from Proton to Posteo for mail and calendar and Addy.io for email aliases.

Isn’t that something that could easily be updated by PixelFed?
