Hello, world!
Making a new account here since my last mastodon instance kind of died.

Minor programming language nerd, in particular #rust and #haskell these days.

Also interested in #opensource, #freesoftware and #freehardware.

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.

Wanted: Open Source audio player particularly suited for mp3 podcasts on Android.

Any good experiences?

What everyone always wanted but was to lazy to compile: a feature comparison between various video conferencing platforms

With recent news, maybe #knome isn't that bad of an idea after all

Find out how you can leverage command history into more efficient system administration. Maybe 'history' could be one of the more underrated #Linux commands.🤔

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.
