I may be misinformed but the article says
We’ve verified that every AST produced by the Rust parser is identical to the C++ one, and all bytecode generated by the Rust compiler is identical to the C++ compiler’s output.
which I took to mean that the new code behaves 100% identically to the old code, like a byte-perfect decompilation. If that’s not the case and it’s just the same in their suite of tests then I’d agree with you.
Yeah, using AI to help you rewrite code (which is tedious) in a scenario where there are clear test cases (it either works or it doesn’t) is basically the ideal usecase.
Actually not a terrible way to use AI. Hopefully the port goes well
I hate when that happens on mobile, do they think people have infinite data??
For me the image stays there the whole time.
You could try using an extension like stylus to change the css on the page to make the image behave how you like, but you’d need some knowledge of how css works.
I probably won’t try it because I want to use a federated solution like matrix, but that’s super cool! You could probably make a post about it.
Misleading headline, it’s only one of multiple “addictive features” they’re considering banning to make social media less addictive.
You might want to point that out, maybe they didn’t realise tenor was shutting down.
That’s awesome! It’s a shame the first pr got closed because the maintainer prefers a worse provider lmao.
Yes, but that would take more space and take more time to write, and “this replaces a letter” is how a lot of diacritics have appeared. For example, the ñ replaced a “nn” in spanish. This would also remove some ambiguity in pronunciation on words like rathole and foothill.
Also, letter like that are written with dead keys, usually, so it would be more like one new character.
Again, not worth the effort of changing, but it would be an improvement.
If you look at the MSC’s only half of it is, and to convince people to switch I’d need a reasonable fast (Sliding sync) client with native voice chat (matrixRTC) that has a somewhat discord-like UI.
So basically I just have to wait for cinny to implement that.
The
most clients adopt it
was the important part of my comment
I agree, but right now the clients aren’t quite mature enough. Once matrix 2.0 is done and merged and most clients adopt it it should be good
Klipy is probably a better option, afaik their api is a dropin replacement and the gif search is much better.
it would be, personally I would follow the rss feed for blog posts tagged “release” since the next release will be 2.0.
Not directly related but I don’t know where else I’ll get the chance to bring this up:
I’ve always though that if the existence of “th” bothers you, adding a diacritic to consonants to indicate the sound change makes more sense than the þ.
For instance,
the = ţe she = şe che = çe
Obviously I wouldn’t argue for replacing ţose compounds wiţ ţose I’ve şown, since it wouldn’t be close to being worth çanging, but I do ţink it would still make more sense ţan bringing back ţe ţorn.
Imo all it needs is for 2.0 to come out and for discord-like clients like cinny to mature to get to a point where it’s a good discord replacement, and both of those seem pretty close to happening.
It’s kind of confusing but: basically some matrix 2.0 features are implemented in an non-finished state by element X (and synapse) as a testbed for those features, but the actual features aren’t finalised or implemented in most clients. The MSC’s (matrix spec changes) aren’t merged, so clients won’t want to implement it.
2/4 of the MSC’s required for 2.0 are merged as of now, and the other two are close.
2024 was when those features began to be ready to be beta tested, but it takes a long time to get a protocol finalised, since it can’t be easily changed once done.
Think of it like a wayland protocol that isn’t merged, but a desktop, say kde, has an implementation already.
Basically working on all the matrix 2.0 stuff, which hasn’t landed yet, although it’s “almost done” now apparently.
Said matrix 2.0 stuff fixes encryption (i.e, makes it seamless like signal), proper voice and video chat and adds sliding sync which makes everything much faster
Bluesky is federated though. Like, you can selfhost every part of it and communicate with bsky users just fine: see wafrn and blacksky.
You can argue that it’s not decentralised because one instance has 99% of the users though
