Output from an AI has just been recently considered as not copyrightable.

Where can I read more about this? I’ve seen it mentioned a few times, but never with any links.

Oh, you’re right. I see it as the 26th result, down below the “try searching with duckduckgo or on crates.io” notice.

Interesting, I haven’t had that same experience, although I confess I haven’t used lib.rs much in the last year or so (basically since all of the original drama with crypto stuff). But I’ve never had many problems with crates.io’s search results.

Do you have any examples of lib.rs search finding useful crates that crates.io does not find?

What about audio? We ought to crowd source every line of dialogue as well.

Adding on to your first point, I wish “show context” would just show the parent comment (usually my comment). I often have to scroll through many comments to find the actual context I care about.

I never noticed before, but this post says it has 9 comments and I only see 8.

lack of diversity of content

This part is bugging me the most. I often see the same articles posted here over and over again by these bots.

I still can’t figure out why anybody is using the site whatsoever.

I think the results don’t include deprecated crates, so the deprecation mark effectively deranks it.

Not the first time this has happened. Notable crate author burntsushi (you know, the one who wrote the regex crate) requested for all of their crates to be removed months ago.

Frankly, I think it’s deserved. It really bugs me when people start suggesting lib.rs as an alternative, because it’s really not that much better than crates.io and it has the downside of the results being biased.

Afaik it’s not nearly at all like this. Doesn’t change the fact that you have absolutely no alternatives, though. If apple did decide to do this, you couldn’t just sideload the apps yourself.

Who on earth decided to leave the projector on while they took the group photo?

Literally 80% of the screen is just useless garbage ads. It takes some effort to actually locate where the real search result is on the screen.

Just be glad you’re on Android and have alternatives to this. Poor Apple users are stuck with whatever Apple decided to do with the app store.

The fact that you can’t control your feed hardly at all is the part that drives me away from Threads the most. The thing I loved about these social media sites back when they first launched (Facebook, Twitter, etc) was that the feeds were all sequential. That meant it was actually possible to keep up with everything posted by my friends, and there was an obvious stopping point. The day Facebook moved to pushing a non-sequential stream of content in your face was the day I realized these websites did not care about my experience at all. Now those websites serve you at least 75% garbage that isn’t even posted by any of your friends, and the only reason anyone uses it is because they feel obligated to use a site their friends supposedly also use.

Federated social media instances just makes so much more sense. The users having control over the platform they use is the way this ought to be. There is absolutely no reason a huge corporation should be controlling our social networks for us.

TIL there is a search function for Lemmy.

Yep, which is why many people had this exact experience: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/game_of_thrones

It’s been said a million times, but piracy is an accessibility issue. Chasing your favorite shows across streaming platforms is exhausting.

Not worth watching past season 4, imo. Season 2 is the peak season, if you ask me.

I think this article is spot on. A lot of people I know were turned off from Rust because the compiler was so much stricter than what they were used to, which tends to frustrate experienced devs quickly, in my experience. But it’s not that the compiler is overly strict; the errors it catches would almost always become problems later. It’s just that reducing the number of compile-time errors doesn’t feel like progress as much as reducing the number of run-tine errors, because you haven’t actually run the program successfully.

Once you use Rust for a long time, you adapt to the compiler and can get things to compile much quicker. That’s where the satisfying part of programming in Rust comes. You get to where you write code and it just works, first try.
