  • Mattel CEO says toy manufacturing won't come to America, but price hikes will

  • You mean like the White House and Congress?

  • Americans mostly don't even want to do the manual labor jobs which have always been available in the US, like residential construction or picking crops. And the oligarchs want to both reduce immigration and re-industrialize? It's going to be comically unpopular.

  • How much do you donate to open source projects per month? How much time do you spend using their software? How does that compare to proprietary software / games?

    Jump

  • ~$10/mo currently but since I recently switched to Linux, and it's working very well for me, I feel like upping it a little.

    I've long considered donating to Mozilla since Firefox is by far my most used open source software. But they don't seem to lack money. So, huh.

  • Anyone else notice a lack of Cinco de Mayo celebration this year?

    Jump

  • Yeah, same. Previous years it was cars driving around with flags, posters for events, etc. This year I saw absolutely nothing. Feels a bit glum tbh.

  • Skype was shut down for good today

    Jump

  • I never really used Skype as a VOIP platform, but it was a great tool for many years for calling international phone numbers affordably. I'm sure it helped many people saving a lot of money calling their friends and relatives. For that I remember it somewhat fondly.

  • US Postmaster General Louis DeJoy resigns

    Jump

  • I believe administrations like FDR or JFK would’ve tolerated none of this shit. Biden looked weak as hell. I like the guy and I support the democrats but you can’t take the high road indefinitely. I take your point though and I’m not happy about it either. But I would’ve preferred a bad boy Democrat administration over whatever the fuck this is…

  • US Postmaster General Louis DeJoy resigns

    Jump

  • You’re right of course. On the other hand this policy of strictly following established laws and precedents is in part what got us into this mess. Democrats could’ve been ruthless but they were meek. And now they have become almost entirely sidelined.

    But yeah, stupid headline.

  • Mutual aid spam is becoming a problem on the Fediverse.

    Jump

  • I agree. E-mail is the original federated service. And 50 years later e-mail spam remains a big problem. I hope Fedi projects can get spam mitigations on-par with email before spammers start getting serious about this place.

  • Linux royalty backs adoption of Rust for kernel code

    Jump

  • Moving from C to C++ would also not solve any real problem. C++ of course adds OOP which I think can be nice (not everyone agrees with this!) but it also adds an insane amount of language complexity and instability. Mentally reasoning about C code is hard, reasoning about C++ code is nearly impossible.

    Rust however brings a novel solution to classes of problems like ownership and mutability with the borrow checker. It's now accepted to be a great tool for writing high performance code while preventing a substantial amount of common, but often subtle, bugs from slipping through. It's not arbitrarily the first non-C code to be accepted in the kernel. And it's used in other operating systems like Android and Windows already.

    Not letting me reject trackers without paying is some real garbage..

  • It's been continuously surprising to me how much hatred some C and C++ devs have for Rust. While Rust isn't perfect, and plenty of criticisms aimed at the language are well-reasoned, the borrow checker is IMO the logical next step forward in "zero-cost abstraction" which is one of the strongest core philosophies behind C and C++.

    The R4L effort seems to be structured sensibly, starting out with only allowing Rust code in (new) drivers. From what I can tell there's comparatively little that has to be maintained upstream, but even that is encountering aggressive pushback.

    I can't help but feel like some devs have spent so much of their professional careers learning how to avoid the many footguns of C(++) that they fundamentally resent Rust for being a language which avoids most these problems, allowing fast code to be written with fewer bugs in less time and with less effort. This feeling is based on having written lots of C++ code for over 20 years, and having personally encountered devs who deeply resent Rust just because it's not C.

  • Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad?

    Jump

  • Yeah, that must be it. It's a real shame because the core technology seems to be solid. Streaming 1080p videos from other instances just works. But finding channels to follow seems impossible.

  • I was about to leave a snide "Eww, crypto" comment here, but this "Interledger Protocol" seems like the most good-faith approach to digital currency I've seen yet? I'm not knowledgeable enough to fully understand it, but I hope it will actually turn out to be a good thing.

  • Europeans of Lemmy, is American beer really that bad?

    Jump

  • Beer-drinking European living in 'Murica here. For certain styles, the US has fantastic beers available. In particular IPAs (which don't always have to be mega hoppy!), pale ales, pilsners, amber ales, and stouts. Plenty of great choices to be found here, if you discover the right breweries. That's key, because there are a lot breweries with imo questionable taste.

    What's harder to find are good beers of other styles, such as Belgian or German beers. US breweries try, sometimes, but they aren't succeeding.
