Does anyone know of some Rust programming spaces that aren't littered with AI slop accounts?

I want to find people who share and talk about the interesting things they discover about the language, not more copy and paste nonsense. I am so tired of having to sift through 100s of slop posts before I get to something actually thought provoking or with real passion behind it.

As mentioned before, I hate bringing this up because I have no evidence or expertise here, just a gut feeling. But I just can't help feeling like, aside from everything else aside about LLM chatbots, they're quickly becoming the leaded gasoline of our time.

Something doing real damage to human cognition, but in this diffuse and difficult to measure kind of way.

@skeletor It is not possible for me to boost this toot enough

@mai_lapyst @specificprotagonist I didn't know until today either! I knew he got "weird" in recent years, but I didn't think he was full on fascist?!

Honestly, it feels like a death of someone I previously looked up to since the SerenityOS days. I loved the old OS hacking videos as he seemed so chill and welcoming at the time. I guess you never know whats really behind the mask until their true colors begin to show.

Sucks to see so much "cool stuff" turn out like this these days...

@HKJV I don't have any experience with Hushed or other services like it, so I couldn't confidently say. But if you could find something that works well enough to get Signal bootstraped, I would say go for it!

I would also recommend reading Signal's developer blogs as they give a really helpful look into how libsignal even works. Its honestly really cool!

@HKJV Ahh I see, that is an interesting problem.

I don't think phone numbers can break the anonymity of Signal. The service itself doesn't learn any information about who or what you are talking to, so your actions are unlinkable back to the phone number used to sign up.

Even so, is it possible for you to source a fake number, or a prepaid one? Maybe that might be the best of both worlds?

@HKJV I was wondering if there was anything pushing you away from Molly and towards Threema? Like what "details" sparked this question if you will?

@HKJV Hello! I run GrapheneOS myself and while I have never used Molly personally (I use the default Signal app), I trust the Signal foundation more than something with any monetary incentives like Threema. If Molly/Signal is working well enough for you, I would suggest sticking with it.

Funny enough, I am currently verifying Signal's security as a research project at my uni lol.

I would love to know more if you have any additional context?

The firmware on the nano is written in C without the main Arduino libraries. I felt like it was more fun to do everything myself.

This then connects over UART to a rust server that sits on my desktop. It shows the time, notifications, and the currently playing song. Currently rewriting the server to be less of a prototype, but its been a fun little project <3

Too busy with college to work on it a more than a couple hours a week, but its been a fun little escape from the huge projects.
