This is pretty much what OpenAI tried to do with Scarlett Johansson (or more specifically, her voice) before they got hit with a C&D. Of course, this was after they had already tried to work with her directly so the intent was pretty obvious in that scenario.

On the contrary, the borrow checker is basically the first thing you learn about when writing in Rust as it's the primary "gimmick" of the language. Anyone writing a non-trivial program should have at least heard the term before, even if they don't fully understand how it works.

The borrow checker is a feature of Rust's compiler which places strict constraints on ownership of data to guarantee memory safety. It adds a lot of friction to writing Rust code if you're not experienced with the language (or sometimes even if you are). OP refers to the "language restriction of Rust", seemingly talking about the borrow checker, but has never even heard of it. It's kind of like someone claiming they didn't vibecoded their C++ project but having no idea what the STL is.

This is a silly thing to say. Normal payment processing uses more energy, but that's only because there are many, many more payments going through it. It's orders of magnitude more energy-efficient than crypto.

This is, like, textbook dystopian. Most people value their privacy at least to some extent and probably wouldn't take kindly to being documented in a public central database largely outside of their control.

Lossy sort

I think you're seriously overestimating the number of people who would actually benefit from that ease of use.

The Moscow Times is actually now headquartered in Amsterdam and has been banned in Russia. I wouldn't exactly consider it to have a pro-Russian bias.

To your point, I think he also said "deathcon 3".

This article is nearly two years old. Also, I implicitly distrust any source which depicts Taiwan as part of the PRC.

I'm all for some good old Rust evangelism, but I think it's a bit of a stretch to claim that KDE is "doomed"in the absence of a migration path to Rust, and it's not obvious to me that moving to Rust is somehow a necessity for the long-term viability of a project.

To your point about young devs and C/C++, afaik C is still pretty standard curriculum for CS degrees at most colleges and universities. C++ maybe not so much, but I would argue that it actually has a shallower learning curve than Rust. IMO the STL is a lot easier to get a grasp on as a newer developer than Rust's borrow checker or lifetime system.

It appears to be a rule against posting food made from animal products. As someone who doesn't eat animal products myself, I don't particularly enjoy scrolling Reddit or Lemmy and seeing a picture of a meat dish, but it doesn't ruin my day I would never dream of demanding a content warning for it.

To my knowledge CWs are geared towards content that has the potential to trigger past trauma, and I can't understand how a food category could be so broadly traumatic to someone (outside of EDs I guess, which is obviously not the focus of this rule).
