Spent a couple hours bringing my Game-of-Life toy #Rust project back to life after 6+ years. It now compiles with modern Rust, and cross-platform packaging is working again 🎉
Mastodon FeedMastodon FeedI took the list of #Rustlang packages in Debian, and converted it to cargo-vet audits, so you can use "Debian-approved" dependencies without depending on Debian.

Dear journalists who are here _and_ on X,
I know X still feels like a necessary part of the job. But posting and re-tweeting content is not. Even if it's critical of Elon's latest actions, you're just helping him make money, and legitimizing his platform.
Please consider going, at least, read-only/DM-only, and making it known that you have done so & where to find you.
That's one further step towards de-legitimizing X, before it is being fully weaponized in the 2024 election.
Thank you!

I could write a long essay about the nature of translucent consumer electronics being one that encourages exploration, of treating the things that we use as constructed items that can be understood and repaired rather than mere black boxes, encouraging the next generation of engineers and technicians to gain a passion for knowing how things work...
But honestly, they also just look good. Look at this thing!

Why I keep harping on this: fascism requires people getting inured to outrage. Fascists want you to see things that should make you angry and just shrug. When you do, they can get away with more and more. There was a time, not very long ago, when the world saw what the nazis were doing and just shrugged. "What do you expect? They're nazis!"
Don't require yourself to be surprised in order to be outraged. You should be outraged by the outrageous. Refuse to let the Overton Window shift.

Ohio considers tax credits for anti-abortion centers after historic vote | Ohio | The Guardian
“analyzed 188 centers, found that more than 70% used some kind of misleading technique in their digital advertising. Almost 40% did not say on their homepage that they do not provide abortion, while 10% exaggerated the mental health risks of abortion and 7% exaggerated the possibility of complications in future pregnancies.”
