@dreamwishes3 Depends on what resources you will be learning with. For example, CS50 is a great course which teaches Python and C. I wouldn't recommend replacing C with Rust there willy-nilly.
OTOH, if/when you need to take an OSdev course, and taking on multi-threading without GC, Rust will be your best friend.
Now @mozilla is officially building upon the Fediverse. Their foray will be an instance hosted at mozilla.social.
But I hope they go further than this:
1. Make Thunderbird a Fediverse client
2. Build in-browser Fediverse functionality
3. Support a Fediverse app ecosystem
Mozilla can do so much to further the Fediverse. Let's hope that they think big.

I've waited a few days to post this about the #mastodonmigration. Here is the evolution of the new accounts in #mastodon after the events in the last week. After each new ban/suspension in the #bluebird we see a spike in new accounts in #mastodon. But recent growth seems to be more steady at around 50k per day. Since the #bluebird purchase by Musk, more than 3 million new accounts were created in #mastodon.
Perhaps it's just my imagination, but it feels like there have been many major features landing in #Rust recently. In 1.65, GATs, let-else, and Backtrace. In 1.66, black_box and cargo remove. Now on nightly, let chains may re-land, TAIT is in FCP, and inline const and pin! are both one checkbox away from FCP.
Many of these features are the results of years of work by many people. Every bit matters, and seeing them all land in just a few releases is huge.
Both our #dogs enjoy fetching the ball. But while Cady (right) solves complex equations on the fly to account for trajectory and elasticity and pluck the ball from the air after no more than one bounce, Nikko (left) attacks the problem with more passion than precision, seldom nabbing the ball without a mad scramble, covering himself with mud and happiness. #DogsOfMastadon

moderation defed
Something I do like about the federated moderation model is that it reminds me of how moderation works in most of the real life Black communities I'm in, from Nigeria to the UK to the US. A lot of behavior moderation is via "Come get your people." And "Who's mans is this?"
If I go to your birthday party and bring Obinna, knowing that Obi always gets drunk and fights somebody, that's on me.
If I say nonsense like, "That's just how Obi is!" I get "defederated."
This is the product of a party. If any Republican had rejected birtherism, denied Trump the nomination, used Congress to control him, held him accountable for his lawbreaking, snubbed his re-election, muted his calls — none of this would have happened.
