This isn't the right community for support questions, we're more interested in questions that spark discussions. Please avoid posting similar stuff again, and try communities like !linux@lemmy.ml.

Cheers!

That is my opinion as well, though I think we could be a bit less lenient on "lazy" posts further down the road, when the community is bigger. I'm talking about not having a question in the title at all (like the recent vaping post) or just asking technical stuff that doesn't spark discussion (like the recent FLOSS PDF reader post).

What are your thoughts on that?

[–] tmpod@lemmy.pt 2 points 6 months ago

You're right, I often forget about that. It's still an incredible achievement.

[–] tmpod@lemmy.pt 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah, for sure 🙏

Aaaaaah, that makes much more sense lmao

The "jogo do pão"/"jogo da bolacha" is silly and dirty kids "game", I was quite confused how you even knew about it x)

But yeah, jogo do pau is pretty cool, though I know little about it. It's another slowly dying bit of our culture.

Was going to say that too. Regardless of the motives and driving forces behind the incredible speed at which the vaccines were developed (i.e. certainly a similar urgency could be applied to other diseases killing thousands and millions in poorer countries, but there ain't as much interest in that), the mRNA technology proved quite powerful and an avenue to continue exploring in future research.

It is, the the fault isn't entirely on the tourists (specially if they're respecting and give two fucks about the places they're visiting); the governments have been pushing tons of pro-tourism stuff everywhere for years, hence why we grew that industry so much, often without thinking of long term consequences and economic balance. So now, we have an economy overly dependent on tourism (with all the good but mostly bad stuff that brings), which, in addition to other shitty decisions like massive roadway investment instead of railway (we have one of the best road network in Europe, but a shitty railway one, significantly shrinked down in the last 40 years), have led to lots of serious issues preventing good development of a lot of other industry we could have and once had. The classic example is Algarve (the southernmost region) is so dependent on tourist they had a very hard time during COVID. Outside of Lisbon's (<2M) and Porto's (>1M) metro areas, every other city has less than 500k people, and the vast majority less than 100k, which presents obvious issues.

Anyway, sorry for the shit dump 😅

I believe "jogo da bolacha" is a more common name here X)

Yeah that's vodozemac, which is a Matrix crypto SDK written in Rust, and is part of the broader Rust SDK they are developing (which handles nesrly everything necessary for client development, even some opinionated UI stuff).

[–] tmpod@lemmy.pt 1 points 6 months ago

Like rorschah said, it's a Matrix client, with a focus on being super lightweight and embeddable, having its own SDK. I enjoy it, since all other clients (with exception of iamb ig) use up a lot of memory on my account. Unfortunately, development has been very slow lately, and the client is missing important features like edits, text formatting and so on.

That is strange. Check the logs show anything out of the ordinary.
