I don’t think many ppl are down on rust… it’s won developer’s most favorite to use for like 5+ years now in a row on stackoverflow.

I was tempted to say Ruby, but based on my friends that are learning (or tried to learn Japanese), it seems like Ruby is trying to be the opposite. So not sure.

Ruby would maybe fit with toki pona : terse, simple, predictable.

I love so many of these, I’m gonna have to download the rest that I haven’t seen.

All about Eve, Witness for the prosecution, maltese falcon, and now voyager, rear window, these are some of the best movies ever made.

If you like legal dramas, presumed innocent (the movie with harrison ford) is really good also.

We’re adding more fine-grained voting settings, but it’s a few releases away.

I think you got that backwards. Magnificent seven came out in 1960, seven samurai in 1954. It even says magnificent seven is just an adaptation of seven samuria.

What’s more dangerous for a US citizen? US companies forwarding info to local police (as facebook and google have and continue to do?), or another country with no such power doing that?

Thx, I’ll give it a try.

You can install a gemini / gopher browser to see what sites look like with them.

That makes sense. Its a very weird thing to think anyway, that the most powerful country in history is somehow controlled by a vassal state they helped create, and who’s only able to continue existing due to US support.

You can’t self-host it. People asked for this feature, and were harshly turned down by the signal devs. If you don’t believe me, then try it yourself.

Makes sense, although it’d be nice for privacy-oriented people to have this thin-layer that converts any site into a de-bloated version that they can view safely. As far as I know, there isn’t any tool that even provides this option right now.

I think Gemini or Gopher includes both. They don’t read html / javascript, so they definitely wouldn’t look the same.

This is nonsense. Who has more economic power, the US or Israel?

Saying that the US - the global imperialist hegemon - is controlled by Isreal, on top of being ridiculous, is deeply antisemitic.

Isn’t that an Israeli talking point tho, that any criticism of them is anti-semitic, equating any criticism of the zionist project as anti-semitic? Seems like both white-supremacists (who want to see an evil jewish cabal controlling everything), and Israel (who want their state to be equated with judaism), agree on that equation, even though they’re on opposite sides.

That says nothing about what they actually run on their server, or who they allow to look at their database. Most importantly, you can’t self-host signal anyway, so posting the source code for something you can’t verify that they even run, is pointless. They went a whole year one time without updating that repo, until the open source community made an uproar about it, and signal was forced to start updating it again.

The Gemini protocol is really interesting. The site markup is so minimal, that people can (and do) create browsers for them from scratch, in a way that would be impossible for html web browsers.

I’m probably in the minority with this opinion, but I genuinely hope web browsers die. Google all but owns the browser, with nearly every browser except for firefox being a skin on top of google’s browser engine. This situation is only getting worse, so I really appreciate the efforts of these alternative protocols to slim down and provide a privacy-oriented way to view what should be simple static content (text + pictures).
