Well its not like she is from a time where racism was morally right, and not evil.

It was just a socially accepted evil, and that does in no way justify it.

"They don't see the point. After all, they can write memory-safe code in C, so why can't you?"

Hahaha 🤣 no they can't.

I work with people who are start programmers who have written C++ and C for 30+ years. And even they have write memory safe code. They would have to be a borrowchecker to be able to do that.

Of course people are reluctant to change their tooling; that means moving outside their comfort zone...

And in regards to speed: Rust is like 3% slower than C i believe?

@molly0xfff you'll have your work cut out for you for the next for years, that's for sure.

Do you wonder if there will be any reprisals for honest reporting? (Especially on something that's likely going to make the potus a shit ton of money)

@sjvn sure looks like madness from over here in Scandinavia

@mekkaokereke watching that brings a smile to my face i couldn't suppress if i wanted to.

I never thought about Michael Jackson using an actual drummer, i always just thought he probably had that part synthesized or whatever.

@mekkaokereke that's funny to me, seems to me most people prefer Billie Jean, when they play Michael Jackson on the radio here it's almost always that song, but amongst his performances i find it kind of Meh. My favourite is smooth criminal.

@sjvn i love this one, always have

@georgetakei i visited a friend recently, who has been taking care of two red ara. They were quiet when we went into the room they were in (they climbed around freely) but when we sat down to eat, downstairs we could hear them swearing and yelling at each other and cursing us for chickens, and cackling

It was friggin hilarious.

@GossiTheDog Encrypting the database, at rest? If anything can get ahold of unencrypted data from the database, its all fubar, no matter what they do.

But it is good that they are changing some things

@thomasfuchs ketamine is only allowed for anesthesia here.

I absolutely agree that talking about mental health medication in derogatory terms is abhorrent. It's as necessary as painkillers are for people with serious chronic pain, or nerve medicine for epileptics.

But! The media has a tendency to misrepresent mental illness, and give it a stigma... And then there are the "self medicators" who also tend to give things a bad rep.
