I'm experimenting with #Rust again, and my eyes always bleed with the "lifetime annotation syntax" - why does it have to use an apostrophe 😩 .

&'a mut i32

fn longest<'a>(x: &'a str, y: &'a str) -> &'a str {

impl<'a> System<'a> for LeftWalker {
type SystemData = (ReadStorage<'a, LeftMover>,
WriteStorage<'a, Position>);

But this time I'll try not to rage quit in digust again. I'll stick until this experiment ends. #rustlang

The plural of regex is regrets.

There is a history behind each sign.

@tinker @iarna RIP XMPP gchat integration.

It’s interesting that the biggest communication challenge facing Mastodon communities is explaining that it’s basically a protocol and a network of independent, interconnected servers, which is what the Web, e-mail, even DNS and most of the fundamental services we use on the internet are, and always were.
It just illustrates just how much ‘Big Tech’ proprietary social media platforms swallowed up and walled off, if it’s now difficult to explain what the internet actually is!

I just noticed that #mastodon has #vim keybindings by default

This headline is everything in capitalism right now.

Oh wow, the DM experience (at least on Mastodon iOS and Toot!) is somewhere between scary and horrifying. Makes it very hard to tell the difference between a public reply and a DM, drags people you mention into the chat.
