Probably a glitch over here, then. Now it opens.

No.

But I’m not in the US. I understand that most people online assume that everything happens in the US, but I’m not there.

“That video is no longer available”.

Fossil.

So does Fossil. I love the program, but that irks me to no end.

people are not doing it

Ah, yes of course. The community of Rust programmers is full of imaginary beings, holograms and simulations.

it is incomplete

Care to specify what is missing?

Your assertion that “many people are loathe to learn Rust” (with the obvious implication that it’s unworthy of attention) or that it is an “incomplete” or “extremely niche” language, are unsubstantiated and insulting assertions themselves.

I’m specifically complaining about you shitting on Rust. The other things you mention aren’t germane to your language-specific attack.

Shitting on Rust while propping up Python, whose ecosystem receives every day more and more influx of Rust-based tools and libraries is… a weird choice.

100% agreed.

how easily the corporate marketing apparatuses think they can shove it down the public’s throat.

Let’s also remark: USian public. Outside the States the reliance in stereotypes and too-pretty or too-token-minority is so obvious that it detracts from enjoyment.

Argentinian here. Lately I mostly consume British TV. It’s immeasurably better. People act and look as real people.

That’s also why I find USian remakes disgusting. They lose all distinctiveness. A blatant case was the police drama Broadchurch (UK original) vs Gracepoint (US remake). The only common cast member was David Tennant. The UK characters feel as real people. The US characters were obviously actors. Olivia Coleman was believable as a police officer in a small fishing town. Anna Gunn… wasn’t.

Not the person you’re answering to, but: You say this as if everybody enjoys manual labor, sports and/or outdoor activities. None of the proposed activities elicits the least amount of interest for me, for example.

Then the proposal may be unfeasable for professions with highly specialized knowledge. Dumbing down the jargon of doctors, programmers or architects, for instance, makes no sense given the loss of needed precision. If a mundane doesn’t know the workings of the lymphatic system or the uses of the visitor pattern, tough luck.

Every area of expertise has vocabulary that’s relevant only to that discipline, is extremely precise and carries a lot of useful meaning. Why would that be bad?

Be honest: Is the user experience as easy as Debian’s or Ubuntu’s is?

Or at the very least Debian.

I haven’t tried Arch, the whole idea gives me fever.

100% agreed. If I see a compliment sandwich, I assume that the person using the technique is lying about the compliments and I lose all respect for them.

Have a miserable year and get lost.

If you are unable to see the difference between occasionsl notes and full blown programming, this discussion is pointless.

If I really wanted to

Why would you, unless you really enjoy pain? I’m not kink shaming, but I don’t mix work and kinks.
