Depends on the context. We’re talking about an image editor, so showing a demo of the features in video form is helpful.

Dev being an asshole and not accept Linus’ patching advice = Rust is bad?

But, as the debian dude has learned… Rust programs will 99.999 % work if they can be compiled.

That’s a dumb statement. Every tool needs unit tests. All of them!

If grep complied, but always returned nothing for every file and filter, then it’s still not “working”. But, hey, it compiled!

The OP is about packaging issues with userspace utilities due to version pinning in Rust

No, it’s about Bcachefs specifically. It’s literally in the title. Discussions around Rust version pinning are a useful side conversation, but that’s not what the OP is about.

So if your Rust app is built against up to date libraries in Cargo, it’s going to be difficult to package those apps in Debian when they ship stable, out of date libraries since Debian’s policies don’t like the idea of using outside dependencies from Cargo.

As they should. You don’t just auto-update every package to bleeding edge in a stable OS, and security goes out the window when you’re trusting a third-party’s third-party to monitor for dependency chain attacks (which they aren’t). This is how we get Crowdstrike global outages and Node.JS bitcoin miner injections.

If some Rust tool is a critical part of the toolchain, they better be testing this shit against a wide array of dependency versions, and plan for a much older baseline. If not, then they don’t get to play ball with the big Linux distros.

Debian is 100% in the right here, and I hope they continue hammering their standards into people.

Switzerland be like:

…I feel like openssh has a much larger attack surface than a simple binary.

Right. This is just trading one set of security pitfalls with a second, much worse set of security pitfalls.

WTF is this whole thread?

Stop telling me what to do! You’re not my mom.

I thought setting a column to string only was already possible.

No, it doesn’t.

From Wikipedia:

Enshittification, also known as platform decay,[1] is a way to describe the pattern of decreasing quality of online platforms that act as two-sided markets.

From the guy who coined the term itself:

Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification.

Yeah, it has a very specific meaning, and people are now using it to mean “things becoming shitty”. Just because “shit” is the base word doesn’t mean that’s what the whole word means.

No one ever had doubts how type B or mini B or micro B go in.

I agree with most of your post, but micro B is a step too far. That fucking plug was always inserted with the following procedure:

1. Try to plug it in.
2. Flip the side and try to plug it in again.
3. Flip it again because you had the right damn side the first time.

Always, always, always.

What I love about Chinese electric car manufacturers is that they’ve fully embraced the cyberpunk aesthetic from the chassis design to the car sounds.

So, the Vaporwave color pallete?
