Why Gosub if it isn't written in Go? Should have been called Rustsub ;-)

While I'm not sure I agree with the arguments, I don't think the arguments for starting over from scratch are insane: https://drewdevault.com/2024/08/30/2024-08-30-Rust-in-Linux-..…

Big tech platforms aren't a viable alternative to big tech platforms, just look at the demise of Andreessen-funded Post News, if you're tired of me mentioning Google's failures: ht…

I am an admin / mod for a Mastodon server that is supported by donations from the community. I have not put my own money in the pot for a while, because I'm donating a lot of time …
