S***, I’ve been meaning to learn Rust but didn’t know where to start, thanks
I keed I keed
Don’t worry.
No catgirl’s gonna get anywhere near the fetid odour of RMS.
Don’t ask me why I know it.
Newsflash: felines stink, the bigger they are the more they do. A big furry wouldn’t have a problem with body odor even in the scale of RMS’s.
had me in the first half of the first half
Is this an April Fools joke?
It has to be. RMS browses the internet by e-mailing a remote machine that
wgets the page and e-mails it back to him, then views it inlynxso that JavaScript doesn’t run. There’s absolutely no way in Hell he’d be on corporate social media.(I’m not joking, by the way.)
Mastodon is corporate social media?
What makes you think the fake screenshot is Mastodon? I don’t use it so I don’t know about fonts and colors and margins matching up, but I’d at least expect there to be an instance name attached to the username.
Also, RMS is certainly not the kind of guy to use social media at all, libre and federated or not.
Yeah, but it’s true. What if?
Wut ? 🤔 Eli5 pls ?
Rust is a programming language
Hm OK. That I know…
The joke is that trans people in the tech community are typically developers+Linux users with a propensity to prefer Rust for a programming language.
A lot of people have been pushing for Rust to be incorporated into the Linux kernel more, rather than being mostly C.
It’s a joke based on a stereotype.
Is that real rms post?
No…

Wait how did that happen?
Personal pet theory that may also play into it: Trans people are also often in information security roles. Potentially, because when you have to hide your real identity, you start to get good at it.
And Rust also has various security benefits, especially when compared to C, but also when compared to garbage-collected languages (race conditions are largely prevented).
