I feel like that's an unnecessarily narrow view of what the fediverse can be. The fediverse is not only for any single particular social networking use case, like micro-blogging (Mastodon) or forums (Lemmy, Pyfed etc). It can be much more than that, and all of it at the same time. There's no reason why the fediverse should restrict itself to only certain social media use cases.
Not sure I understand - you think some of those things don't belong on the fediverse? What do you mean "one or the other"?
I know we love to hate on LinkedIn, but honestly there are plenty of reasons to want social features about employers and jobs. Reviews, salary discussions, union organization and all such stuff that employees could leverage against employers, for instance.
Of course that's not what LinkedIn is largely used for because it's full of employers trying to brand themselves or influencers trying to make an image for themselves. But it could be different, I think.
but i assume the sheer amount of images/video takes up a lot of space
You can adjust settings in Lemmy to not store other instances media like this, so this shouldn't be a big problem with the right config.

Super cool! Hopefully that can resolve some of the long standing issues with the borrow checker.
I'm not really sure what you're asking. Or I guess I mean, it's a very broad question. Just start a project and get learning.
If you have any more specific questions, feel free to ask!
Isn't it pretty obvious? Fastrand is not cryptographically secure, urandom provides that option.
This is like 1 poster that should be 7 different posters.
Scenarios in gambling are rarely "purely random". I.e. the likelyhood of winning in poker depends on what you already got dealt and what other cards got dealt and so on. What does "purely random" even mean? Like a lottery with equal chance of winning for all participants? Yea that's gambling but just one kind of gambling.
Keep in mind that software engineering as a field is like, incredibly new, compared to a lot of other fields. Computers have not been around for that long, historically speaking.
It's honestly to be expected that some of the first established languages did not turn out to be the best language that could be. We're still figuring out how programming languages should be.
In 50 years, there will probably be another series of programming languages. They might even be optimised for LLM usage rather than for human directly, who knows. This stuff is all so new.

On that I agree. It'd be nice with a more universal platform.
