And what happens when you release it?

have fun without those debug symbols

Remember: You’re an anti-Semite if you oppose genocide.

Clearly. Good people can’t do bad things.

FPTP does destroy a lot, I’ll give you that, but municipal and regional elections have miserable turn-outs too and they have much more potential for perceptible change than state or national change.

In the USA things have to get way worse than they are now before they get better. A very very large percentage of voters would have to be fed up with FPTP to force change in that area. Also, they would have to be educated enough to understand that FPTP is a problem.

Looking forward to the memes once this dies

(Zed’s dead)

That requires a population willing to vote for such legislators.

That’s your opinion and I don’t share it.

Looking at the posts right now, most of them are pretty much what the bot would post: blog posts, announcements, interesting repos. A bot would add more of that.

To have people talking, you need to give them something to talk about and news is what people talk about, I think. We just have a large lurking community, which IMO isn’t bad. To have people talk more, the only things I can think of are

• projects the community works on together (bot may be one)
• podcasts or videos with the community
• questions from the community

A bot seems like the easiest in terms of investment.

I think it’s difficult to grow programming communities. The rust forums themselves aren’t the most active (a post an hour and maybe 2 comments an hour?) and those are official. Can we hope to grow beyond that?

Personally, my presence here is mostly passive to read news about rust. I wouldn’t mind a bot posting links to:

• official blog entries
• blog entries from rust maintainers
• merges to “awesome rust” repositories
• videos uploaded by various rust conference channels
• announcements from rust conferences

Basically a “global” rust RSS feed that I don’t have to do the work of cobbling together.

If that bot were opensource, then there could be suggestions to add RSS feeds or some other integration to get news.

Same reason NFC payments on Android were super niche for years before Apple finally implemented it

I’m very interested in why you think that. Do you have numbers?

The concept of a mobile wallet was invented in Kenya in 2007 with no input from Apple. That then spread to East Asia where in China, not NFC payments but QR-code payments have been a thing since 2011 and they have barely caught on in the West. There are massive developments and usage of different technologies happening outside of Western countries of which the majority are now on Android simply due to price.

Or why so many apps don’t use Android features that would improve them because iOS doesn’t offer that feature

Which features are these?

Are you an Android user? And which continent are you on? I’m guessing your views are very much centered around a personal experience in a single country or even region, but I may be wrong.

Hmm… OK. Not sure you’re right in this instance. PWAs have been shit on iPhones for ages due to everything being forced to use Safari on that platform. Probably less people use PWAs on iPhone than on Android. Most people probably didn’t even know of PWAs (as seen right in this comment section in a tech community).

agreed

Things that run in a WebView?

Why would they be dead on Android?

That would be a place to upvote and ask progress on. Do you have a link?

Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s because he’s overloaded with messages, but if the lemmy community becomes large or loud enough not to ignore, then something might change.

TIL It had svn support 😮

Are there any plans to make mastodon integrate better with lemmy @Gargron@mastodon.social ?
