@jeffcliff I appreciate your feedback on my code, but I wanted to clarify something about Rust development practices. What you're seeing in my Cargo.toml file are standard Rust crates (not cranes I made a typo in the previous messages), which are the equivalent of libraries or packages in other programming languages.
Using crates from repositories like crates.io is actually the recommended approach in the Rust ecosystem, similar to how developers use npm packages in JavaScript or pip packages in Python. The Rust core team and community have designed the language specifically to work with these modular components.
These crates are typically well-tested, maintained by the community, and follow Rust's strong safety guarantees. Using them is considered a best practice rather than a shortcoming, as it allows developers to build on established foundations rather than reimplementing everything from scratch.
I'd be happy to discuss specific concerns you might have about any particular dependencies I've chosen if you'd like."

No shit. That is the problem. Standard rust crates AND THE ENTIRE LANGUAGE is tightly coupled with microsoft's walled garden
>Using crates from repositories like crates.io is actually the recommended approach in the Rust ecosystem, similar to how developers use npm packages in JavaScript or pip packages in Python
AGAIN THAT IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM. Also NPM is microsoft and is part of the microsoft walled garden.
I have now spent THOUSANDS of hours recovering software in the python ecosystem from github because people assume it's totally OK to have software that relies on microsoft's walled garden

@jeffcliff Those are called crates in Rust. They are libraries. Like in python on any other programming languages (Dependencies) . Obviously I didn't write them. I do not know if they are on GitHub I have never used GitHub shit.
And in python and other languages we're having to do a shit ton of work to pull dependencies from github because fucktards think it's acceptable to use github software

@jeffcliff it was video I made of an OTP encryption tool written and developed by me in Rust Language. The video is not available anymore. I was displaying how you can run it in a phone using termux.
