Sod's law someone finally posts this on the day I decide to make a post. I promise I did check the board yesterday when there wasn't an update! Thanks for the explanation though.

I'm learning Rust at the moment and I too think I have some reservations with its syntax. Most of these reservations come from my strong preference for functional programming over OOP.
I am unsure if I like method-syntax period, even if it isn't inherently OO. Chaining just makes me feel uncomfortable in a way piping doesn't.
Also it seems idiomatic for values of enumerated types to be written Type::Enum
, which seems ugly and unnecessary.

Reflecting on my first year running solely Linux (as opposed to dual-booting), I think that this culture comes from the fact that, on Linux, problems can more often than not be solved. If not solved, then at least understood. When you want to change something on Windows, or something breaks, you have far less room to maneuver.
When I was a Windows user, I'd barely ever submitted a bug report for anything, in spite of being very tech-literate. It felt hopeless, as my entire experience with the OS was that if a fix would come, it'd have to be done by someone else.
Linux treating its users like adults, produces users who are more confident and more willing to contribute.
I recommend Pocket Casts.
The pricing Reddit is charging is obscene and would mean that Apollo would be forced to pay $20 million per year to keep the app running. Other popular third-party apps would have to pay similarly outrageous costs. It’s clearly a blatant attempt to run them off Reddit so the site can force users to use its first-party app instead.
I wish all articles covering the debacle but it at clearly as this.
If this gets us another Internet Historian video on the fallout, then this is worth it.

My feelings exactly. As far as I'm concerned, I'm happy to use Lemmy for scrolling from hereonin but I'll visit archived info on Reddit, once the blackout is over.
My word, I figured it had to be a coincidence. I hope some of the fat-cat stakeholders are starting to catch wind and sweat at all this MSM coverage.
Fellow NixOS traveller. I used Nix for work and never saw the appeal of a whole OA built around it but when I saw a tutorial with the declarative config I was instantly sold.
They've got at least two: an NA one and an EU one.
