The experimental Rust PR to add a more expressive "interop" ABI on top of the C ABI is IMHO the most exciting new effort that happened in Rust in the last few years.

Thanks to @josh and others for starting this very important work 🥳​

Also @Mara's reply seems to indicate that some serious thought is now also put into other related areas, especially for handling Rust dynamic libraries.

Very exciting stuff for making Rust a better choice in various areas where exactly these topics were slowing down or hindering adoption.

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software and Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit anyone's ever said, so when people say he's a genius I figured I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

After 2 years of negotiations with Microsoft, the German Data Protection Conference issued a damning statement: German schools must not use MS365 due to privacy violations.

Fortunately, Linux, LibreOffice & Tutanota are very good alternatives. 💪🔐

Qoto.org blocking, genocide mention 

@matt @FediThing The weakness of Fediverse is the immature process of moderation. I’m reading more and more examples of blocking whole servers without clear reasons. Because somebody is thinking about something. Maybe it’s a single post, maybe thousand posts from one million. The easiest thing is to add them to the fediblock list with a long list of general and unclear accusation. Nobody will check them.
