The size of Cargo's target dir can be huge. This is mostly due to excessively verbose debug info for dependencies. You can cut most of it out with this Cargo.toml config:

```
[profile.dev]
debug = 1 # less precise locations

[profile.dev.package."*"]
debug = false # no debug symbols for deps
opt-level = 2 # makes their code smaller too
```

Confession time. I was unenthusiastic about Gov. Tim Walz, and voted for him reluctantly. I was wrong. I'd vote for him again without hesitation.

Ciaran Martin: client-side scanning technology may used by others who have no interest in protecting children, eg an authoritarian regime.

"A culture war is no fun if there’s no actual conflict, and although some journalists and pundit diehards remain, many of #Twitter ’s prolific users are posting less and on different platforms. Socialmedia platforms that cater to the right’s ideology eventually become tired and predictable—the result of the same loud people shaking their fist at digital clouds. History has shown us that there are plenty of ways a social network can die, but the quickest way is boredom." https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2023/05/elon-musk-ron-desantis-2024-twitter/674149/
