  • I don't have anything to add to the specific arguments made in the screenshots since I don't personally use AAE (though my wife's family does). I just wanted to clarify that if you have reason not to assume best intentions, then I don't think you should.

    I'm just used to a lot of discussions beginning with hostilities these days, and I see it and have to deal with it everywhere. I really just wish that would all stop (not you specifically since I feel there were other instigators in the thread in question), and feel like more reminders can't hurt.

  • Since I just got out of a discussion that went similar to this off-platform, I guess I'll just share what I wanted to share there:

    Discussions go better when there isn't an assumption of hostility from the other side, and where both sides work to understand the emotions and reactions that the other side is having. Think why the other party might be upset. When something upsets you, assume best intentions (unless you have good reason not to), and try to understand both why it upset you and why the other party might think that way.

    There is no reason to make enemies of potential allies.


    Speaking personally:

    Since I grew up around a lot of people speaking AAE in particular, I want to call out that I noticed it mostly tied to income class where I lived, not specifically race or color. For a lot of people who live there, it's the only language they know. The origins are one thing, but it's understandable both why someone would be upset about an appropriated part of their culture, and why somebody would be upset that they're being told they can't use something they've known and which has been a core part of them all their life.

  • Don't forget Intel's latest GPU launches either! For custom PCs, there are some really affordable and relatively powerful GPUs available now (for the price). Despite their performance otherwise, Intel is killing it in the GPU space now.

    For a lower spec build, you could definitely put together something with a 12100F (or other cheap CPU) and a battlemage GPU. Depending on where you get all the parts, you might be able to hit sub-$500 and get great 1080p performance, or for sure sub-$1k 1080p and likely 1440p performance.

    Handhelds also have a lot of good options available too. To save some cash, you can get low end Steam Deck and swap the hard drive yourself. Got myself the cheapest LCD variant and swapped the tiny drive in it with a 2TB drive off Amazon.

  • Everything you said makes sense, but just want to add to your note at the bottom: * can also be used for reborrowing (&*blah, &mut *blah, &***blah, etc). This is useful for getting a shared borrow (&T) or unique/exclusive borrow (&mut T) from another type of pointer (like Box, Arc, or even MutexGuard).

  • This is true of so many ecosystems. In the past year, I think I've had to rewrite an ESLint config twice, transition a Prettier config to another format, update React in a project and a good half of the other dependencies through some breaking changes, etc.

    It's not really unique to Rust, and happens for projects that are well past v1 (in React's case, v19 - and they still haven't figured out suspense, not that I'd want to rush them).

    Still, I'd love for things to remain consistent over time. The breaking changes in this version of axum are pretty easy to update to though, and you might even be able to just regex replace these in all your files since it's just a matter of using braces now instead.

  • Cybertrucks have a lot of problems, but this seemed to be a clearly intentional explosion by somebody.

    That aside, can Tesla just unlock any of their vehicles remotely and access all the camera footage on it? That seems like a much bigger problem, especially since Mr. Musk is practically our next president.

  • We understand that this is a breaking change for basically all axum users

    Lol.

    I love the changes. Probably better to get this over with now than to wait until it's no longer feasible to make this kind of breaking change. The Option extractor change is also nice - makes for some much more ergonomic error conditions.

  • Making homelessless illegal will obviously result in fewer homeless people. They'll all pick themselves up by the bootstraps, walk into the nearest fast food restaurant, and ask the manager for a job. That's obviously how it works these days, clearly.

    What kind of person sees a law that makes it illegal to be poor and thinks it's going to solve some problem lol.

  • Well you can have a party full of literal fascists and people will still vote for them before considering a third party. If you have any hope of a third party taking any amount of control, I could use some of it. Sadly, third parties are mostly just spoilers for the opposition these days though.

  • It sounds to me like the FDA is doing what it's supposed to (part of it anyway). I wish these could be caught before they made it to shelves, but pulling them before they can do more damage is still a positive.

  • What about the Nazis? What about the genocides in Rwanda, Soviet Russia, Cambodia...

    I saw evidence of Chinese persecution of political prisioners in Hungary, which is completely unacceptable and needs to be dealt with.

    Seems we both agree then that the Chinese extralegal, international persecution of political dissidents is unacceptable. The rest, guess we can continue to disagree.

  • The fact that you're necroing a week old post to spout nonsense without evidence shows just how confident you are in your argument.

    The number of prisoners in gitmo have been reported on plenty of times.

    Dozens in 30 countries... OK

    Do you live under a rock or something? Feels like every week there's a new investigation/arrest related to this.

  • Do you happen to know when the most recent new prisoner to gitmo was brought there? And how about the most recent kidnapping, assault, or other official international crime by the Chinese government?

    Maybe some numbers? There are dozens of known Chinese international, extralegal police stations opened in at least 30 countries. There are less than 30 remaining gitmo prisoners.

    Nobody likes gitmo. If a certain "party of law and order" would actually give a crap about law and order, it'd be closed by now. But comparing the two is grasping for straws, especially since one's actively being expanded while the other has been shutting down since Obama.
