one of my favorite moments at #FOSDEM was when I plugged my machine to the projector, which revealed my desktop background on the duplicated screen, a digital picture made by @davidrevoy , and the audience immediately answered with a "awwww :blobheartcat:"

The picture was the one from this post: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article990/just-found-you :blobcatbigfan:

Let me know if I missed anything

We also have a Matrix room

Hey, I'll be at #FOSDEM this weekend, on the #Matrix booth and in the Matrix room on Sunday, talking about the new things that happened in the Matrix #Rust SDK. Come say hi 👋

Using alternative browser engines in the European Union

https://developer.apple.com/support/alternative-browser-engines/

This is huge! This could allow other Web browser engines like #Firefox's #Gecko to run on iOS, and expand the possibilities with #WebAssembly on iOS, by allowing engines like #wasmtime to run in Apple phones 🥳

(o/c terms and conditions apply, and the costs might be prohibitive)

The WASI Subgroup has now voted, and WASI Preview 2 is now officially launched! A lot of people have contributed to making this possible.

I wrote up a blog post that looks at what this means in the present, looks back at some of the things that shaped this moment, and look forward to what's coming:

This might be reductive, but the way I’m thinking about WebAssembly terminology right now is:

• Wasm: a virtual instruction format (bytecode)
• WIT: a type system designed for Wasm
• Wasm Components: a portable library format which packages Wasm instructions + WIT types
• WASI: standard host/runtime interfaces defined in terms of WIT types

#RustLang horror story, themed for Halloween:

In a test at work, I was appending the number of milliseconds since the start of epoch to a value that's supposed to be unique, hoping that it was sufficient to make it unique.

Turns out, it was unique when the test was run in cargo nextest, but not when it was run in cargo test 👻

If a project uses a copyleft license, what happens if a contributor upstreams their contribution, but the contribution is refused under the pretense that the contribution isn't aligned with the project's goals? (e.g. unwanted feature, or hard to maintain, or counter-productive, etc.)

I've reached peak #MechanicalKeyboards and I now am the happy owner of a #Moonlander keyboard. Hours of customizing and fine-tuning keyboard layouts stand before me 🥲

It's a good thing that in the tech world, we're using the abbreviation "auth" to mean both Authorization and Authentication (no).

1 AM. I cannot sleep. Went looking for cursed content on the internet. Succeeded harder than I intended to. Now I still can't sleep, but for a different reason.

Aquamarine, https://github.com/mersinvald/aquamarine.

> Aquamarine is a procedural macro extension for rustdoc, that aims to improve the visual component of Rust documentation through use of the mermaid.js diagrams.

Quite neat. I’m unsure what are the benefits over providing an image (even vectorised, eg SVG), but it’s possible.

In other news, excited to share that starting next week, I'll start working at #Element, the company behind the #Matrix protocol and messaging apps 🥳

It's great to be back in open-source and help decentralize messaging 💌
