My Stance on Toxicity About Programming Languages - Xe: https://christine.website/blog/against-toxicity-programming-languages
Just finished knocking together a Finger server in Rust. Probably a little bit overkill for Finger, but I wanted to practice for something bigger in the future.

@fortune someone tell the autotools folks..
@quad sort of, but that's really only the shell utilities coming from BSD. It's using musl libc, not BSD libc (which would have been quite a porting effort) and perhaps more interesting Gnome as desktop. I find it odd that they would go to all the effort to get rid of that much GNU and then use Gnome.
violent vent
people shouldn't be allowed to publish programs unless they commit to writing proper docs.
WHAT IS THE DAMN PYPI HANDLE FOR THIS LIBRARY YOU MOTHER FUCKER YOU MOTHERFUCKER YOU AAAA
@werwolf @aw I ran an OpenNic server for a few years myself and had a .oss domain alongside my regular .org domain. My only issue was that other servers would come and go from time to time, including the name servers that mine was peering with once or twice. I still love the idea, and have never thought it was a good decision to have a corporation (Icann) in control of the global dns root. Goes totally against the superior of freedom that used to exist on the web.
I'm sorry if you are only trying to use fedi to promote your "content" please think again as there's no algorithm to back you up. Turns out you need to think about your audience as literally actual people. People who tend to ignore ads.
New blog post about improving the gemtext parser in GemView. Goes a bit into my first foray into Rust lifetimes.

Rewriting the gemtext parser in GemView from scratch. The old code was inherited from what was originally a dependency, where the author never responded to a single bug or pull request.

@StampedingLonghorn yeah, you describe yourself a lot like how I see myself. I'm not anti-social either, or at least that's not how I see myself. I have a small group of really close friends.
@StampedingLonghorn as a rather non-social human, comparatively speaking, that's long been a weekness of mine. One that I'm wishing to improve of course, but definitely not my strong suit.
@kev quite nicely done. I wouldn't have even suspected WordPress if you hadn't said that it was.
I've spent 27 years in the workforce in jobs that were anything but the tech sector. I have no college to my name, but have been using open source software daily for over 20 years and spent the last couple of years pushing myself to learn programming.
Any advice as I begin looking for a job that would actually put those skills to good use? Thanks in advance, fediverse.
