I also have the problem OP mentioned, even after upgrading to 128 GiB RAM. I've had it on Kubuntu, KDE Neon, Fedora KDE and OpenSUSE TW, so I suspect it's a KDE Plasma issue.
Aside from all the drama, they also encouraged users to commit suicide (which is why they were banned from trans on blahaj) and used sock puppet accounts. They were banned from 196 2 days ago.
If the general stance is that reaction can be “up to the admin”, that’s a bit… minefield-y.
I understand that this might seem problematic. We (the mods of 196) are only partially in control of what is removed and who is banned, due it being hosted on blahaj.zone.
TLDR: Rust, Go and other modern languages don't use more dependencies than C/C++, but have larger binaries due to including libraries into the executable binary. This trade-off was chosen to ensure you can reliably run the executable on various systems without dependency issues.
I personally have gone with both options on several occasions. Being able to include an HTTP client without having to debug someone's cURL installation is certainly worth a few extra MiB's of disk space. However, I've also used C instead of Rust to avoid a very simple CLI program turning into several MiB's large binary (due to statically including the Rust std lib).
