Rust has its own non-security issues, you just won’t hear about it, as they’re being drowed out by “OMG, this Rust developer has PRONOUNS and CATS, what happened to free speech, why not everyone is a fundamentalist christian like me?” style smear by the likes of Brian Lunduke.

Asahi Lina. She’s started to become infamous in certain circles, however she often blames all negative backlash on her on Luna the Foxgirl (who is not innocent, but it’s interesting that so far this whole incident only happened with Lina and is not a recurring one) contacting people behind her back, usually with a Google Doc that suspiciously lacking certain details and screenshots of certain conversations, and instead describes that. Also she claimed Luna was an abusive borderline person, and to my knowledge, only apologized to her in private. I knew Luna for a longer time than Lina did (we are using the same obscure language, where everyone knows its users by name), and during her time in null:Ptr/Live, she acted much “less autistic”, so I have a bad feeling that Lina might have tried to “amateur ABA” her, with the worst of those people in my experience ending up denying “female autism” altogether to stop women from “acting the wrong way”. It just seem, she “went woke” with it and applied to trans people equally.

People who had to deal with her bullshit have started to use “pulling a Lina” as a slang term for pulling out years old drama to smear a person, and she had so much controversy on her PL name, that people who previously dealt with her think her VTuber rebrand was an attempt at hiding her past behind the avatar.

Speaking of missing context from a Google doc, here’s an easy to find one, part of the “FUDposting”:

Finally, some legitimate critique of Rust, that does not revolve around “DEI bad” or “memory safety bad”!

Both can be criticized within reason. Yes, there’s that infamous Rust dev, who likes to sabotage projects she’s involved with the moment things don’t go the way she wants it, thinks the word “cancer” is somehow a slur, and of course loves to send her followers after people for various reasons, often while purposefully misinterpreting people’s words. All while spreading either the evopsych “extreme female brain theory of borderline personality disorder” nonsense, or the “cluster B abuse” nonsense made up by far-right theologists masquerading as psychologists to explain trans people on the terms of christian fundamentalism and without allowing them to live life as they want. This (nor other similarly bad Rust devs, nor callout culture in general, nor other things like the whole “master” branch fiasco with Github) does not mean we need to throw out the baby with the bathwater, like Brian Lunduke and other far-right adjacent people want us to do, all while pretending their position is the “centist” one, because “real fascists did those things for the sake of pure evil, but we have good reasons to do those very same things, like crime statistics and IQ tests”.

Same with memory safety. We usually get the “skill issue” type of critique, meaning “just write better code”. I personally prefer D’s approach to memory safety with its multi-level solution alongside with the much nicer code for the unsafe stuff. And I guess Rust also have something similar to D’s --noboundscheck compiler flag as a way to disable boundschecks in times it’s needed.

This all creates a situation I’ve first seen unfolding during the whole gamergate culture war fiasco. Thanks to burnt out atheist YouTubers making bad faith critique of Anita Sarkeesian’s videos lead to the rebrand of Morality in Media to NCOSE and the formation of Collective Shout, which ultimately lead to the whole payment processor censorship issue. Thanks to alt-right chuds constantly misgendering and sending death threats to Brianna Wu enabled a racist abuser to hide within our circles. And thanks to chud developers wanting to “give real treatment to gender confused people” and wanting to “gatekeep” software development from newbies, actual critiques of the Rust language, such as a heavily OCaml-influenced language being sold as a C replacement (if not a C++ replacement - all without true built-in OOP support), or the fact a functional programming language is being sold as a general purpose language, all because “you can opt out” (Java also technically allows you to opt-out from most OOP features).

Pirate Software is also a big liar, and a bad dev, who couldn’t finish his game in 8 years.

YanDev: “Thank God I’m no longer the most hated indie dev!”

I personally needed the Pi for its Arm architecture.

We should host a parody (online) conference, where we talk about things we know jackshit about, but if we were experts.

At least my game engine, PixelPerfectEngine, is being tested on the Raspberry Pi 400, so a stronger hardware with Linux shouldn’t be an obstacle, but that engine isn’t made for that kind of spectacle if you can decode its name.

Yes, but not many games run on ARM natively.

There’s some non-freeware FOSS projects, especially in pursuit of some support. While the better ones either have an easy to use build system and/or just negwares if you download their “trial” version, projects like Ardour is a lot more involved. It has actual noise injected into the sound output, it has a convoluted build system (for which they don’t provide build manuals - after forking, you’ll find out it will also need a specific version of VS to build), and on top of that, an expensive subscription model.

Do you think one should also show acceptance of highly defamatory speech, and only punish the very people that act out on them?

Believing that certain groups must be eradicated isn’t covered under my tolerance of “diverse opinions”.

Dude, do you think a group that hates “diversity” in its every shape and form is just “moderate”?

1. Dumb culture wars around programming languages.
2. It a lot different from C. In C, you have Typeidentifier variable;, in Rust you have let mut variable : Typeidentifier;, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg.
3. Some of its safety features (including RAII - a favorite feature of marcan) are both detrimental to the performance and hard or impossible to opt out from.

Does Wayland has its own Mastodon instance? If yes, they could do a funny.
