I just use Hugo. I’m sure there are other SSGs that are either objectively better or better for my specific use case (text-based blog) but it works fine for me.

I mean Rust is definitely known for long compilation times but yeah otherwise I am not sure how any of this is Rust-specific. Maybe by “doesn’t do what you tell it to do” they mean the borrow checker and strict compile time checks…?

Nice to look at. Disambiguates commonly confused characters (l, 1, I; 0, O).

Misogyny.

What happens if someone refuses to do any chores in a shared household? There are already plenty of situations where people do work for free because it’s in your own interests. In groups like households people take turns taking out the bins and cleaning. In a communist society people will take turns doing the necessary work. If someone refuses, maybe something is wrong in their life, and they need help. At the end of the day, there’s no economic coercion in a classless society. If one in a million people don’t work for no understandable reason (disability, depression, personal issues, etc) then let them. What else are you going to do? Work or starve? Incarceration? The point of the universal emancipation that communism brings is to do away with those evils.

Yeah tbf I only use Fedora for VMs and to recommend to non-technical people so I’m not the best judge of its quality. But my experiences of it have been smooth + no complaints from the non-technical folks I’ve recommended Fedora to who have gone through and installed it.

The other OSes that come to mind when I think of well-crafted OSes are Alpine Linux, OpenBSD, and maybe Void Linux, but here “well-crafted” does not mean they appeal to the same audience or fill the same niche as Fedora haha. I guess I can see how Debian is doing these days for next time a non-technical person asks me for a Linux distro rec.

A real shame. I do think there are other OSes with the same level of polish as Fedora, but not ones as “normie-friendly” to recommend to people.

Yay

I only use flatpak for one Python program because it has a lot of runtime dependencies I don’t want to bother with. I generally wouldn’t use flatpak.

You can embed Assembly in Rust. A lot of low-level Rust projects embed Assembly.

Thunderbird is a K-9 reskin. They’re the same app. People pick based on what icon and app name they want I guess.

Sure. I personally read him as intended to convey that even the “good cops” are bastards. I’m personally of the philosophy that things don’t need to be handed to the player/reader/etc on a plate—depending on the degree to which you agree, one might think that Kim should’ve been more clearly/explicitly a bastard, but like, imo the game is from a cop’s pov and from the pov of a character who has a good relationship with Kim, and what the game does with writing him as a bastard whilst still being personally likeable from the pov of the protagonist is well-done.

Kim is meant to be a likeable character but he’s definitely not praise of the police. He’s written to be at least complicit in the various crimes of the police.

As the other person said, a cis woman who uses the men’s out of expedience is much more likely to be let off the hook than a trans woman who uses the women’s because she’s a woman. They might want to enforce on the former out of misogyny anyway but an individual cis woman has a better chance of a sympathetic judge or jury.

Trans people who don’t pass, Black women, and other people who aren’t sufficiently gender-conforming for their liking will be made to prove their assigned gender in court.

I just break it up with a (metal) chopstick. Works fine.

Men will be split between Penile Battalions and Anal Battalions.

Skirts are fairly common formalwear, at least for women. Are you a man? If not, I think any office job, receptionist job, etc, would be fine with you wearing a skirt. I imagine it’d only be some forms of manual labour where a skirt would get in the way.

Why would a bank make you not wear a skirt?

Had no idea Qt had 3D rendering… GUI designers get more creative. Let’s see a 3D email client.

Good luck trying to maintain the mammoth that is systemd… why not just switch to an alternative init system and focus your efforts on contributing to those, instead of trying to single-handedly maintain such a huge codebase?

“Psyche” is a different word to “psych” in English. “Psyche” is a noun, pronounced “sye-kee”; “psych” is a colloquial/casual verb, pronounced “syke”.
