Yet another queer & kinda autistic computer nerd. I mainly code in Rustβ„’, and I consider myself a rustacean. Uni student. I joined Mastodon after the Reddit exodus, let's see how it goes (edit: going great!).

Free Palestine, free Ukraine, trans rights are human rights, antifascist, antiracist, former student union leader, etc; woke mind virus all the way down lol. I just believe we can make the world actually better, what a sad thought not to.

Working on a Linux port for the Surface Pro 11.

@jyn cargo-semver-checks' most requested feature is cross-crate linting.

Building it requires cross-team collaboration between rustc, cargo, rustdoc, and cargo-semver-checks folks. It's a hard problem, and all those folks are extremely busy, so naturally it had stalled.

Last RustWeek, jyn guided ~15 stakeholders through ~2h of *intense* technical discussion until we emerged with a workable solution for cross-crate rustdoc JSON.

We've now made more progress in 6 months than in the prior 3 years.

This is just one of many such cases in jyn's portfolio.

If you've ever used Rust, you've felt jyn's positive influence β€” even if you never realized it.

I hope my token of recognition is just the start of jyn's invaluable work getting the funding it deserves.

Folks, can we get jyn some more funding?

@GrapheneOS you don't know what you just did by announcing that Pixel 10 series support was coming soon lol, the second hand market of them in my country has risen like 200 eur in two days... in the middle of Black Friday. Not gonna lie, but there's a certain kind of people interested in both GOS and not having the IMEI of the phone tied to a retail purchase that have gentrificated me out of my new phone lmao.

Finally put two and two together and realized that mystery 6-hour sore throat I sometimes get? Only happens when there is a significant concentration of PLA particles/fumes.

Judging by how many #itwasdns shirts I've sold this morning...

Is the Cloudflare outage DNS-related too? https://www.redshirtjeff.com/shop/p/it-was-dns-shirt

Rust in Android: move fast and fix things, https://security.googleblog.com/2025/11/rust-in-android-move-fast-fix-things.html.

Another great post from the Android Security team, presenting how Rust is impacting positively the Android code base. Shorter code reviews, fewer bugs, drastically fewer rollbacks… (compared to C/C++)

> The shift to Rust is different: we are significantly improving security and key development efficiency and product stability metrics.

Rust in Android: move fast and fix things

Posted by Jeff Vander Stoep, Android Last year, we wrote about why a memory safety strategy that focuses on vulnerability prevention in ...

πŸ¦€ 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! πŸŽ‰

'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.

Quick reminder on the likely reason why Valve's New Steam Machine only supports #HDMI 2.0:

""At this time an open source HDMI 2.1 implementation is not possible without running afoul of the HDMI Forum requirements.""

This is what Alex Deucher, the maintainer of the amdgpu #kernel driver, said one and a half years ago here:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1417#note_2303163

And from the ticket it looks like the problem remains.

See also Alex's earlier comment from early 2021 in the ticket:

""HDMI 2.1 is not available on #Linux due to the HDMI Forum.""

My app, Typesetter, is now available on Flathub! It's a local-first editor for Typst (a markup language combining the simplicity of Markdown with the power of LaTeX), featuring a minimal interface, live preview, and click-to-jump between source and preview. It's still in early development, but I'd love feedback if you try it out.

Today I found out that google docs infects html exports with spyware, no scripts, but links in your document are replaced with invisible google tracking redirects. I was using their software because a friend wanted me to work with him on a google doc, he is a pretty big fan of their software, but we were both somehow absolutely shocked that they would go that far.
