People started complaining about inflation when Trump was still president, after people started hoarding toilet paper, then at a larger scale after the first stimulus cheques. I’m not blaming him personally for that specifically, COVID was hard for all countries on Earth, but facts are facts.
Read the room. The pro-Palestinian are not fringe, and not nerds. And the majority just doesn’t care one way or another. Your positions are not based on reality. You’re the idealist.
Not fringe. Minority, maybe, I never pretended otherwise.
The states that voted against Israel at the UN vote are not led by youthful idealists, are they? Or did you confuse the anglosphere with the whole world again, as if the opinions of most of the world didn’t matter?
For the record, I didn’t call you a nazi. I’m not following you around Lemmy. I have better things to do with my life.
You’re moving the goalposts. You said supporting Palestine was idealist and fringe, and I proved it wasn’t. Muslim countries have tangible reasons to oppose Israel, good or bad.
If you want to talk about pro-Palestine sentiment in the West and more particularly in the Anglosphere, we can, but we need to clearly define what we mean by “pro-Palestinian sentiment”
Who cares about downvotes though, honestly? I was expecting some piss-poor Marxist take, because that’s what you mentioned in your comment, but didn’t find one. I know they exist though, I’ve browsed Lemmygrad before.
I see what you meant to with your posting of that link, though… Maybe you need to be a bit less sensitive? You’re going to have a hard time on here with a sensitivity threshold so low. 12-ish downvotes never killed anyone. Nobody cancelled anyone, nobody got called a nazi. Nobody got censored or deplatformed. Chill out 😁
Do you have any source confirming that the average person cares about downvotes? Did you consider lurkers? I’m not convinced, myself, but I have nothing to back my position.
I thought the topic was to show that redditors were talking about Lemmy, I did not know it was about getting more people aboard. There was no such indication in the community’s sidebar, or in the post itself.
But now that you mention it, lots of people are talking about that in the comments. Maybe I just shouldn’t be here!
That’s what I thought, this is a gut feeling, which I guess is as good as mine.
I know the person on Reddit is trying to get people to join, but I interpreted the linking as a way to say “look, reddit is talking about us”. Which, as you suggest, is not the right interpretation.
I have no interest in participating in Lemmy’s market strategy workshops. Enjoy your day!

The absence of shitty OOP language features is not what’s holding Rust down, in my opinion. We’ve all seen the disastrous results of 00s-style OOP code in the real world. Java-style OOP is on the way out, thankfully.
I think the low adoption of Rust boils down to 2 things: 1 - The language is particularly hard to use. Not just because it is different, but the compiler is tough to beat. 2 - C and C++ are very entrenched at this point. This is the biggest hurdle.
I gotta say, from my personal point of view: the Rust community is incredibly zealous and hard-working. Something I have never seen for any other language. Everyday, you hear about somebody rewriting some huge piece of software in Rust. They might just succeed eventually, who knows?
I do realize that the compiler is being annoying for my own good, you’re preaching to the choir here. I’ve pestered about Rust being so unforgiving before, thought I was smarter than the compiler and realized the compiler was right, and been amazed.
In the grand scheme of things, though, I still think that this is slowing down adoption: trying the language is hard. Outside of the context of paid work which probably doesn’t use Rust, when you’re trying the language to work on small projects on which the 5x-50x figure probably doesn’t hold true because the project is too small, the safety benefits aren’t tangible, and writing the equivalent C++ will probably feel simpler.
To go back to the proficiency of the Rust programmers: you are entirely correct, I don’t think Rust programmers have a God-given hard work ethic that other programmers don’t.
Respectfully, though, I disagree with your statement that it’s something about the language that makes programmers THAT many times more prolific, but I can’t think of a solid explanation why at the moment.
Your post gives vibes of elitism… I don’t think your intelligence argument holds any water. The Internet of the late 90s/early 00s was easy to access.
The difference from before is the advent of social media. The stupid have been on the Internet for a very long time now. But you would’t hear them much.
I know we had bulletin boards before, but social media, particularly Facebook IMO, allowed more people to express themselves and gave everyone an audience.
Your theories are dehumanizing women. Women are not a consistent whole. When I hear you talk, it feels like watching a documentary about Siberian wolves at 4 AM on TV.
I’m not going to attempt to cancel you or anything quite like that… but you’re full of shit. Real women are NOTHING like you describe. Stop pursuing shallow Instagram “influencers” and you might find peace. The Internet (and Tinder) is not the real world.
And by being so whiny and paranoid, you’re being the opposite of the good masculine type you’re preaching about.

You’re correct. Nonetheless, this does not change the fact that deliberate non-interoperability (Notes) and forced app ““curation”” in order to preserve a sense of closedness impacts real people, which was my point, in response to the parent that was saying real people don’t care. Although my mom would never use the term “walled garden”, she genuinely hates that she can’t have Newpipe or anything remotely as good because of Apple’s rules.
I realize that it’s not a dealbreaker for everyone, and I’m not saying you’d be wrong if you used an Apple phone. But some people genuinely don’t like it, and their reasons can be valid. And it’s not just techies and nerds like I am.
