Ah, yes of course. The community of Rust programmers is full of imaginary beings, holograms and simulations.
it is incomplete
Care to specify what is missing?

How so?

Your assertion that “many people are loathe to learn Rust” (with the obvious implication that it’s unworthy of attention) or that it is an "incomplete’ or “extremely niche” language, are unsubstantiated and insulting assertions themselves.

I’m specifically complaining about you shitting on Rust. The other things you mention aren’t germane to your language-specific attack.
- Comment on What is the best way to support Lemmy specifically and the Fediverse in general financially? 5 weeks ago:
Shitting on Rust while propping up Python, whose ecosystem receives every day more and more influx of Rust-based tools and libraries is… a weird choice.

Natural stupidity.

Any universe has at least one sentient being.
What in the hell is this idiocy?
- Comment on Big Brother Is Watching Your Online Criticism of ICE Crackdowns 1 month ago:
If you live in a dictatorship, those rights don’t exist. The rights are earned or agreed upon by a collective. They don’t pre-exist. In an universe without sentient beings, the notion of “rights” is nonsense.

They come from God or Nature.
Bullshit. Gods aren’t real and nature gives nothing.

100% agreed.

No. Everyone should learn Esperanto as a second language and preserve the cultural tapestry of existing languages.
All cultural loss is a tragedy.

how easily the corporate marketing apparatuses think they can shove it down the public’s throat.
Let’s also remark: USian public. Outside the States the reliance in stereotypes and too-pretty or too-token-minority is so obvious that it detracts from enjoyment.
Argentinian here. Lately I mostly consume British TV. It’s immeasurably better. People act and look as real people.
That’s also why I find USian remakes disgusting. They lose all distinctiveness. A blatant case was the police drama Broadchurch (UK original) vs Gracepoint (US remake). The only common cast member was David Tennant. The UK characters feel as real people. The US characters were obviously actors. Olivia Coleman was believable as a police officer in a small fishing town. Anna Gunn… wasn’t.

Not the person you’re answering to, but: You say this as if everybody enjoys manual labor, sports and/or outdoor activities. None of the proposed activities elicits the least amount of interest for me, for example.

You’re willingly ignorant about the many negative aspects of using Ai. Being ignorant is fine, but making such a proud display of it is not pretty.

If you can ask that question you’re horrible yourself.
- Comment on Why do females got to be so hard to talk or flirt with? 5 months ago:
Calling women “females” instead of women, as if you were a frakking Ferengi, won’t endear you the interest of any sensible person.

and therefore automatically multi-platform
But not necessarily multiplatform.
Damn those people developing only for Chrome.

Bribes, I’d venture.

It crashes, it loses things, it has a lousy search function, to automate messaging you need to learn one of the arcane and convoluted MS services because they deprecated the much easier webhooks…
When something fails (and it always does) we just say “Well… it’s Teams”, and that sums it up.

They are not required to serve and protect. US courts say so.

Funny, in my 30s I didn’t feel old 😄
- Comment on Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie? 9 months ago:
Yesterday I re-watched Copycat. Part of the suspense fell on the main character not having a phone and the would-be killer cutting the land line.
It felt… weird.
And yes, it was old 😢
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 9 months ago:
They give me more and more reasons to stay on W10 until I give up games and move to Linux permanently.
I’ll miss my TCMD scripting, though. But besides that and gaming, most of what I do nowadays is cross-platform.

Your comment reveals you don’t have a clue how science works.

I don’t believe either of those will happen.

Hopefully this will show the world that they are a bad idea. The price will be in blood, of course.
- Comment on would getting back with an ex be a bad idea? 10 months ago:
The question is valid, but it’s also valid to remember that most of those humans will never know you, and among those who will, most won’t give a damn about you, and among those who do, very few will love you, and among those, you will love even less of them.
Even so, the number is probably not zero. But it can take some time to find out.
- Comment on What is your happiest Trek related memory/ies? 1 year ago:
TOS’ Dagger of the Mind and What Are Little Girls Made Of? made me know, at 10 ,that I really liked petite shapely dark haired women.
Then again, years later, Dagger of the Mind made me notice that I liked mind control fantasies…

For many people, learning things and reading are anathema.
