This place is a place of cringe... no s-tier content is commemorated here... lowkey weak shit is here. TL;DR what is here was meh and mid to us. This toot is a CW about 💩.discuss.systems
An ex-coworker now at [redacted autonomous vehicle company] just tried to convince me to come work for them. Obviously I declined.
In case it wasn't obvious to anyone else, let me just state in plain English: there is no amount of money that will get me to build self-driving cars for you. The bigger the number the harder I'll decline.
I don't even like sharing the road with L2 ADAS equipped vehicles. The last thing I want to do is contribute to making the problem worse.
Now, if you wanted me to work on a fully human-controlled EV with no telematics or automation, designed for repairability with a 30+ year target lifespan, and redundant sensing and actuation and triple redundant lockstep CPUs on safety-critical components like ABS? Maybe we can talk.
But self-driving cars are probably one step above "DRM'd medical devices that stop working if you don't pay a subscription fee" on my "these should not exist and I will not lift a finger to help you create them" list.

Librsvg 2.58.93 is out!
This is for the GNOME 47 beta release.
There's a new Rust crate, librsvg-rebind, courtesy of @sophie, which lets you use the system's librsvg shared library from Rust via a generated binding. It's different from the idiomatic Rust API, but it saves you binary size if you can assume that librsvg.so is already in the system.
Also, a bunch of dependency updates and build fixes.

2.58.93 - development · GNOME / librsvg · GitLab
Version 2.58.93 librsvg crate version 2.59.0-beta.3 The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is 1.78.0. ...GitLab
@wezm I'm generally of the opinion that "code has to live somewhere" and that hard drives are cheap... but for example, there was a genuine concern from people who use librsvg as part of an AWS lambda and binaries must be small there - they wanted to remove the legacy gdk-pixbuf functions, which they don't use.
For flatpaks, size doesn't matter much, but for Loupe it does make sense to just use the runtime's shared librsvg instead of embedding it in the app's binary.

At school, Little Johnny's classmate tells him that most adults are hiding at least one dark secret, so it's very easy to blackmail them by saying, "I
know the whole truth."
Little Johnny decides to go home and try it out. Johnny's mother greets him at home, and he tells her, "I know the whole truth." His mother quickly hands
him $20 and says, "Just don't tell your father."
Quite pleased, the boy waits for his father to get home from work, and greets him with, "I know the whole truth." The father promptly hands him $40 and
says, "Please don't say a word to your mother."
Very pleased, the boy is on his way to school the next day when he sees the mailman at his front door. The boy greets him by saying, "I know the whole
truth."
The mailman immediately drops the mail, opens his arms, and says, "Then come give your Daddy a great big hug!"
A girl came skipping home from school one day.
"Mommy, Mommy," she yelled, "we were counting today, and all the other
kids could only count to four, but I counted to 10. See? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, 9, 10!"
"Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde?" the girl
said. "Yes, it's because you're blonde," said the mommy.
The next day the girl came skipping home from school. "Mommy, Mommy,"
she yelled, "we were saying the alphabet today, and all the other kids
could only say it to D, but I said it to G. See? A, B, C, D, E, F, G!"
"Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mommy?" "Yes,
it's because you're blonde."
The next day the girl came skipping home from school. Mommy, Mommy,"
she yelled, "we were in gym class today, and when we showered, all the
other girls had flat chests, but I have these!" And she lifted her tank
top to reveal a pair of 36 C's. "Very good," said her embarrassed mother.
"Is it because I'm blonde, mommy?"
"No Honey, it's because you're 24."
I would rather have a network with proper mainstream mod tooling than a network that chases user counts and follows the footsteps of the larger ones it’s supposed to be an alternative to.
I think Reddit is a good example of a network that had better third-party apps than the official ones introduced much later; the official app is only popular because of how hard it was shoved down everyone’s throats, before third-party apps were killed off.
