I don't think so to be honest, I have never seen it here :-( Maybe in a couple years

I have seen it mentioned quite a few times on websites. Can you actually pay normal shops using that?

I mean, I am all in for labeling, but banning it? Is that what's happening? why would anyone do that

I read that this is actually coming. I forgot what it was called though. Fingers crossed.

it's somehow scary how many overlaps there are with falling empires from the past, I miss the USA that used to be

I learned a bit of rust and I think it's just about getting used to it. It's fairly subjective, and people say the same about C++. I also prefer the C syntax because I find it's simplicity extremely elegant and prefer it to have fewer features. And I like it for it's consistency, on linux the FHS is based up on C, and it just somewhat feels ugly to break that consistency.

But I also acknowledge the advantages of rust.

Fair, I'm all in for de-bloating! The only problem with plugins is that it can become increasingly difficult to provide the same quality of testing and quality, because you can't possibly test all combinations of enabled plugins - even if most don't interfere with each other, it can easily break stuff

yeah I don't like it neither, my view is just a bit pessimistic unfortunately

They care about doing the least amount of work while making the most amount of money.

I mean that's what capitalism does in a nutshell. Lower costs and increase the price. It's optimized for profit, not for the best product, unfortunately. The only thing that should keep it within lines is competition, but if the competition isn't any better it won't help

Man I just wish there were better alternatives to MasterCard and Visa.

All these desperate attempts to protect copyright. I understand it, I want to publish things and not have it scraped by AI, but let's be realistic here. No government in the world wants to miss out on AI. The general public profits enormously from AI too. I doubt any of that is going to succeed.
