cool, i'm even in one of the pictures!

we all have our most wanted missing features but if i'm being honest i don't see how session saving should take priority over e.g. rendering protocols

not a wayland dev but: patches welcome

quando eu tava interessado nisso, o que eu achei melhor custo/benefício, menos burocrático e mais fácil de usar foi o hetzner. tem gente que reclama que eles pedem documento, mas eu só precisei enviar minha cnh e eles aprovaram minha conta em uns 10 minutos

i think i know what happened: the text looks different depending on the client/interface. i first read it on thunder and it looked fine, but i'm now on lemmy web using the vanilla theme and it looks like this:

rust is a systems/low overhead programming language. really not much of a point comparing js/ts and rust, since js is much higher level. you should be comparing it with c, c++, zig, maybe nim, etc

you also imply it's pointless to have a language geared towards performance because computers are better now, but 1) programs run on more than just personal computers and you wouldn't run js in an embedded system and 2) just because your computer can put up with poor performance and resource waste doesn't mean that it's sensible to do so (hello electron)

also, rust does more than just cosmetic improvements. it adds a layer of statically guaranteed memory safety that no other commercially viable programming language that i know of has. even if its syntax looked like ancient eldritch runes, it would still be an attractive language. the fact that it manages to do more than other languages while still having a decent syntax is amazing

you can dislike rust if you want that's fine but you don't need to try to shit on it just bc it's not your cup of tea

that's fucking scummy. he really hates mastodon admins having agency over their own servers

as a brazilian, i have a few ideas as to why latam participation in the survey was so low and i don't think it has much to do with low linux usage

1. lemmy isn't very popular in brazil yet, even inside the brazilian fediverse. my current instance is a few months old and it is one of the first brazilian lemmy instances

2. unlike europeans, the overwhelming majority of brazilians is monolingual. only 5% of brazilians have any level of english knowledge and 1% are proficient. even if lemmy was popular in brazil, most people wouldn't even see the survey anyway

i don't know for sure about the rest of latam (and the global south for that matter), but I'm willing to bet both of these points apply

"this week in plasma: core plasma shell rewritten in typescript and electron"

this is supposed to be one of those "take that, racist prick" stories. these are pretty common

systemd is a system daemon, not an init system

also, why should applications avoid depending on useful features?

i don't know much about openrc, but doesn't it use sysvinit? one of the major advantages of systemd is ditching sysvinit
