“If you read the stories that comprise human history for the past, say, two thousand years, nothing reads as surprising. Rooting your expectations in the decade of the 1990s is a bit like watching a single down of a football game and expecting to be able to predict the final score. It doesn’t work and it makes you look like an idiot.”

We have a unique opportunity with npmx. We're building something very special together. I want to give myself the chance to focus on helping steward the project. I'm going to be working as an independent open source developer this year. Support my work and help me focus on npmx long-term 🙏

I've been working full-time on @npmx.dev@bsky.brid.gy for the last week, yet I haven't managed to stay in the top contributors list in our repo. And I couldn't be more excited about it. I've never had this many public and private conversations. So much ahead to foster a great community together. I love it ❤️

🦀 I've improved the implementation behind all the string formatting macros in Rust: println!(), panic!(), format!(), write!(), log::info!(), and so on. (That is, everything based on format_args!().) They will compile a bit faster, use a bit less memory while compiling, result in smaller binaries, and produce more efficient code! 🎉

'Hello world' compiles 3% faster and a few bigger projects like Ripgrep and Cargo compile 1.5% to 2% faster. And those binaries are roughly 2% smaller. 🎊

This change will be available in Rust Nightly tomorrow, and should ship as part of Rust 1.93.0 in January.

The source of the standard Rust Hello World program with the generated assembly before and after the change.

The before version has 11 instructions and stores 56 bytes on the stack. The after version has 3 instructions and stores no data on the stack.

One aspect of the American professional life that I never understood (and never will) is the normalisation of networking as a formal endeavour, not as an evil that is too difficult to eradicate.

At the end of the English Peasant’s Revolt of 1381, King Richard II told the survivors:

“Villeins you were and villeins you will stay – not as before, but worse. Your slavery will be an example to others.”

You can almost feel the sputtering indignation. How *dare* they think they could overturn the feudal order. How *dare* they think they could ever be anything but slaves.

Ok, Schawarma-Intigilenz:

Es gibt, da bin ich sicher, von Fanta VIer eine Version von "Krieger", die so ähnlich klingt wie die beiden MTV-Unplugged-Alben. Mit deutlich mehr Bongo und weniger Schlagzeug, etwas länger als die Lauschgift-Fassung, ich finde das Ding nirgends. Hat jemand irgendwo diesen Track ODER eine komplette Instrumentalversion?

Privacy Guides' Program Director @jonahJonah Aragon gave an amazing speech last night in our weekly livestream!

It's a truly moving speech,
and an incredibly important statement in our current troubled times.

Fighting for privacy rights is a battle for human rights. Nobody lives in a vacuum.

We must build our communities to fight collectively 💛✊

Please watch it: youtube.com/watch?v=BQ5_4Li9Gsc

Yesterday’s Alex Pretti memorial ride in Portland ended by passing the Portland ICE facility and of course ICE tear-gassed the crowd, including kids on bikes.

Thursday in Salem, Oregon, feds tore a US citizen’s rotator cuff yanking her out of a car window.

The Minneapolis surge really is coming for us all.

RE: infosec.exchange/@nyanbinary/1

New completely pointless blog post, in which I try to come up with something funny to say about every valid Moltbook API token I could find on Github & gave up 40% through: blagh.nyanbinary.de/posts/claw

Don't bother reading it. I wrote it for myself.
