  • I mean, it sounds like it’s gonna be a fairly large codebase. Rust is definitely better equipped for large codebases than Python…

    I do agree that Python could give them more outside contributors, but from my experience, I don’t think it’s worth swaying from your preferred tooling for that. Outside contributions will make up barely a fraction of code changes either way, so you should rather ensure that your core team is productive.




  • The concern is that if lots of softwares get rewritten and some of those softwares switch from a copyleft license to a permissive license, then things might stop being open-source sooner or later, because companies are not anymore forced to open-source.

    Yes, in the case of sudo-rs, this concern is silly. But for example, the uutils coreutils are under MIT license, when the GNU coreutils were under GPL-3.0.

    According to the screenshot I took, it was a gargoyle berserker with an axe. I had some ridiculous luck with armor drops, so basically every resistance was either maxxed or close to it. I only really got into trouble down in Zot:5…

    And hmm, I should do more with Lugonu. I never really have a reason to pick him, but that means I also don’t experiment with him, so I won’t really learn what reasons there are to pick the guy…




  • That would be cool, but human brains are weirdos. If you’re already copying text, you could’ve edited or annotated it, for example. For example, if it’s an opinion you don’t entirely agree with, you might feel obliged to say so, because you have the ability to do so when it’s a text post.

    If you want to call that irrational, I’m not arguing against that. I’m just saying it’s the reality we live in and I’d like to have tooling to deal with that better, because I would also prefer text to not be screenshotted.


  • Yeah, really unfortunate that that’s not possible. Always having to take a screenshot and then type out letter by letter what’s on the screenshot, that can be quite annoying.

    But even if copying text was possible, the reason people post pictures of text is to give proper attribution, but also to distance themselves from the content, so that it’s clear that they don’t necessarily hold the exact same opinion or that they might not have all the knowledge to defend the statements in the post.

    Cross-posting could fill that same roll without screenshotting text.

    Well, and there’s also just lots of webpages implemented as an SPA – Single-Page Application.
    Which you might be able to register in your browser as a PWA – Progressive Web App.
    And which are just generally equally as interactive as an app, so good luck explaining the difference to folks who don’t care about implementation specifics…
