  • Call me a weirdo but the more errors a compilers give me the happier (albeit a bit frustrated) I am. That stuff generally surfaces in a way or another… and I prefer at compile time 🙂

    That said I haven’t spent quality time with Rust yet… so not sure if there are a lot of nitpicks (ala go) or these are valgrind-level of “holy s*** I am so grateful to this tool” 😃


  • I think it turned out worse than that.

    I am ok with “question everything”, the problem is that people don’t believe in reputable sources that don’t confirm their beliefs, they look (possibly unreliable) sources that confirm them

    I think it is due to the echo chamber of social networks. People have constant confirmation of superficial “sources” and they continue to want that.

    Incidentally it’s the reason I use lemmy where the algorithm is not optimised to the point of echo chambers (also looking for “all” helps)

    And internet is telling women it’s men fault. And poor people it’s immigrants fault. And insecure people it’s trans fault.

    We are the most narcissistic generation ever: it’s always someone else fault… and while we are arguing online changes go in the wrong direction (more inequality, more war, less affordable education that means less social mobility)













  • The chat space is problematic.

    • There are a lot of apps that don’t encrypt at all (e.g. Google chat, discord, etc)
    • There are apps that encrypt but they are subject to jurisdictions that can or may in the future force backdoors (e.g., Chinese apps, possibly telegram, possibly US apps in the future)
    • There are apps that encrypt, are in countries that are privacy focused but are not for free (e.g., threema)

    This contributes to a fragmentation that makes WhatsApp the app that-you-must-have

    Sure it is supposedly encrypted but I would not bet my money that is without back doors
