With steep #Windows11 hardware requirements and support ending for #Windows10 in 2025, millions will be left with incompatible PCs, leading to estimated 480 million additional kilograms of e-waste: https://t.ly/u12bb

If we want to truly be free in the future we should ditch as much proprietary software as we possibly can. It may not always seem plausible, but most of the times it only required an open mind and a slight attitude adjustment.
What would be the best way to learn #async #rust ?
I am reading the rust for rustaceans book, but it’s not the end of all, I need to implement my learning. What could be the best, short and crisp way to utilise most of async and concurrent feature in a small application?
My goal is to get confident enough that I can build/contribute to something like #pingora or a database like #quadrant
If you have a dependency on curl, and you are also stuck using an old 32 bit windows, then at some point in the future, a situation could arise where your old curl can not fetch.
But, potentially, you could boot #linux and use an updated curl to pull the data.
What may happen down the road is that a lot of kiosks may stop working. There are literally many millions of kiosks running on 32 bit windows XP or CE.
Over the last months the Rust/cargo support in meson improved a lot.
It's now ready to build and install a GTK4 Rust application with around 70 dependencies without having to write almost any custom build glue for the dependencies.

The application in question is just a small experiment of mine for rayon and GTK4 input handling / rendering. The more or less same should work for other GTK4 applications at this point.
All this still depends on two unmerged meson PRs, but it's a huge step forward from the situation just a few months ago.
Thanks to the hard work of @xclaesse and dcbaker!
I hope in the future this will allow GNOME applications written in Rust to have a less strange and fragile build setup than what they have right now with mixing cargo and meson.
