I've written a lot of #rust lately: https://sr.ht/~mort/coffeepaste/
It's really good. It feels like a language with all the best ideas of modern C++, but where the language features were designed instead of discovered. Writing Rust feels a lot like writing best-practice C++, in a language designed from the ground up to look like best-practice C++.
I sincerely hope they'll make it an international standard eventually though, once it slows down and is ready to ossify a bit.

So, I read this article about #LBRY on the #ItsFOSS website, and I am quite confused : https://itsfoss.com/lbry/
If this is a decentralized, open source, blockchain-based, cool new alternative to centralized YouTube and Amazon, why does it want you so bad to *register an account*, *verify it*, and *download the official apps* ?
This makes me feel a bit unconfortable. I guess I'll just see whether the project's trustworthy.
