  • I usually pick Rust for CLI tools because:

    1. It's statically compiled and isn't dependent on system binaries and won't break if there if the system has the wrong version like C/C++, allowing you to distribute it as a single binary without any other installation steps
    2. Still produces fairly small binaries unlike languages like Java or C# (because of the VM)
    3. Is a modern language with a good build system (It's like night and day compared to CMake)
    4. And I just like how the language works (errors as values etc.)
  • Currently, it seems most Lemmy users are very technically inclined, there are a lot of software devs and sysadmins. I certainly don't mind that, but I would love to see a more diverse demographic. I do feel like some people here seem to think that technical knowledge strongly correlates with the ability to have intelligent discussions, which I don't.

  • To reiterate, GNIS and GNS are only relevant to an appropriately qualified official_name tag, not a name tag, because of the on the ground rule. For this kind of feature, common sense would place a lot of weight on overall common usage, since sending someone to survey the facts “on the ground” would be… difficult.

    Yeah that certainly seems difficult

  • AFAIK:

    • Dismissing reports never federates
    • Post removals almost always federate
    • Bans almost always federate
    • Reports usually federate

    A post on 196@bhz removed from .world will be federated properly in my experience, but post removals from something like Kbin seem to be less likely to federate.

  • For anyone curious about what happened; the admin seems to have made a mistake while handling my report. I suspect the person currently handling the situation is unfamiliar with the workings of Lemmy.
