  1.  @HaveANceDay  That "whooshing" sound was the point going right over their heads. (I don't hate Rust, I'm just 1: curious if it's the right tool for the task and will it gain us anything and 2: is the Rust community intending to use it to shut out people they don't like)

  2. In itself Rust is fine, it's just another language. It's a matter of whether Rust is fit for specific tasks or projects. So you don't have to hate rust in general, just specific implementations. I'm more concerned about the Rust community using it as a tool to shut out anyone who isn't so far left that Karl Marx looks like a MAGA Republican.

  8. I think we'll see the core vulnerability that takes down ALL browsers based on Chromium-core first (that will be coming soon).

  10.  @TapetBart  When the far-left stops, everyone else will too.

  11. Nah, he's probably one of the people they're trying to shut out.

  12. Because they want political control of Coreutils? Can't have those nasty Nazzis using opensource software now...
