How does one qualify how much a language needs to be used?

Are you saying Rust is being used in places that you feel C/C++ should be used, and you don't think Rust belongs? Or maybe you are saying Rust is being used in places where C/C++ are not typically used, and you don't feel it belongs there?

The closest thing to context you've given is that you feel Rust has flaws (all languages do), and that Ada is perhaps safer. It's really hard to give any kind of answer without a properly fleshed out question.

Step 1: Get tested for sleep apnea. If you have it, snoring is the least of your worries. Don't skip this step.

Otherwise, sleep on your side, elevate your upper body (Amazon sells wedge pillows).

If you are certain you don't have apnea, you can also try a chin strap. Just be sure any chin strap you buy pulls your chin up, not back, as this will A: Obstruct breathing, and B: cause major jaw pain.

Don't install a GUI and you can just skip this step

It looks pretty well cited to me. The fact that it was written anonymously doesn't really take away from that.

Thanks! Not quite as wild as I was expecting (kind of surprised this was enough to push them to delete their account)

Do you have any sources for this?

I can't find the video, but I remember someone at Ableton said they pretty much had the same view of Live piracy. If someone pirates it, they weren't willing to spend the money on it, but perhaps they will be willing to in the future.

Few thoughts:

  1. What is being made? Can't really care about it without having some idea
  2. What makes this company's version of it worth our interest?
  3. How is it better than the FOSS solutions that in this day and age almost definitely already exist
  4. Why are we to put our faith in this group for pay once software when their two major products are SaaS?

It's funny because it's heartbreaking!

Lemmy was created because of reddit fucking BS

Lol, no.

I just installed 11 recently. There isn't a skip button anymore. I had to enter fake sign in details for it to give me the "offline" option.

So it seems like their point may still stand.

I disagree that it being a monolith is immediately a problem, but also

In fact you scale a monolith the same way you scale micro services.

This is just not true. With microservices, it is easy to scale out individual services to multiple instances as demand requires them. Hosting a fleet of entire Lemmy instances is far more expensive than just small slices of it that may require the additional processing power.
