I really don’t like that simply drawing a certain arrangement of lines and colors is now a crime

I’m sorry to break it to you, but this has been illegal for a long time and it doesn’t need to have anything to do with CSAM.

For instance, drawing certain copyrighted material in certain contexts can be illegal.

To go even further, numbers and maths can be illegal in the right circumstances. For instance, it may be illegal where you live to break the encryption of a certain file, depending on the file and encryption in question (e.g. DRM on copyrighted material). “Breaking the encryption of a file” essentially translates to “doing maths on a number” when you boil it down. That’s how you can end up with the concept of illegal numbers.

Alright alright, definitely in those contexts there is no problem, of course.

I mean, that’s still acknowledging that damage is being done, just less than actual graffiti. I’d rather not associate the fediverse with defacing public spaces with half-scraped off stickers.

Again, feel like a t-shirt or a cap is a much better option.

It might be because I am in Denmark which has quite a functioning and lawful system and where I see the most graffiti is in public transport, like on trains and train stations. The transport company spends a lot of money cleaning that graffiti, making public transport more expensive for everyone else (hence antisocial behavior).

So I can understand where you are coming from but my perspective is just different.

I definitely do not find graffiti cool. It’s illegal and antisocial behavior. The art can be cool of course (although it very rarely is in my experience), but the illegal act is not.

Isn’t this not much better than graffiti? I think advocating for the fediverse is great, but let’s not plaster unnecessary and potentially illegal posters/advertisements everywhere.

If you want to display an appreciation for the fediverse, perhaps there are T-shirts with the fediverse logo?

We’re actually seeing a rise in new user applications over at Feddit.dk. The hostile behavior of the US has gotten some Reddit users to seek alternatives to american platforms.

Fediverse platforms are not in competition with each other. In fact, it’s more like symbiosis. There’s no problem with having 15 or even 100 fediverse platforms.

Why do you need a culture shift if anyone can just pick whatever platform they personally prefer? If you want a certain cultural approach, then feel free to use a fediverse platform with that approach, but there’s no need for anyone else to follow the same choice, unless they want to.

I think the author brings some interesting points, but ultimately I think it’s a faulty premise.

The fediverse is whatever the user wants it to be. That’s the whole point really. If you want a reliable communications platform with zero dropped messages, aka email 2.0, then you can definitely build that on the fediverse and people can join such a platform if that’s what they want.

If that’s not what you want… Well then don’t join such a platform. Join another one. You do you.

We don’t need anyone telling us how to communicate or consume content or whatever we want to do with the fediverse. The whole point of the fediverse is that everyone gets to decide for themselves, so there’s no need to be prescriptive about any one approach.

Is Dioxus easy to get started with?

I haven’t tried it myself but I’ve read the tutorials and it looks very React-inspired. It looks quite easy to pick up. It is still based on HTML and CSS but you can use one code base for all platforms.

Rust programs can definitely still consume a lot of memory. Not using a garbage collector certainly helps with memory usage, but it’s not going to change it from gigabytes to kilobytes. That requires completely rethinking how things are done.

That said I’m very much in favour of everyone learning Rust, as it’s a great language - but for other reasons than memory usage :)

Or just use rust for everything with Dioxus. At least, that’s what Dioxus is going for.

Google respects “before:2012” for now at least.

I would say no, ochre would have more of a red or orange-y tint.

Billboards and other physical ads and such suck but are thankfully already mostly illegal where I live.

Problem with other kinds of advertising is that it can’t be made illegal, not truly. People would still do it, it would just not be marked as such. I’m not sure how to fix this.

Have you tried the Rust book? I learned via that and it’s great.

I think that’s quite harsh. As I said, I know it’s not what OP asked and it was just a suggestion. I’m just adding it as an option. Perhaps someone else reading the thread will find it useful, if not OP (who I don’t think you should speak for).

OP mentioned they want native speed and were struggling with badly documented libraries. I feel like it was appropriate to at least mention Rust, considering those two things. Since when is widening a discussion slightly considered bad? You don’t have to reply to my comment either, if my comment does not seem interesting to you. Let alone downvote it. You can just leave it alone, it doesn’t hurt anyone.

Not that cool maybe but I once played a lot of Pathfinder (1st edition). I made a website with a detailed database of all the items in Pathfinder with very specific filters and also including a random item generator. You can try it out here:

I know it’s not really what you’re asking, but have you considered learning Rust? In many ways, Rust is more similar to C than C++ and is just as capable. There are quite a few very well documented (as is common in the Rust ecosystem) Rust libraries for GUIs, including efficient native ones or immediate mode ones and such. Just a suggestion.

I’m amazed by the fact that it remains such high quality even when you go so far back to the early videos. It’s crazy. Dude is a genius.
