I don't want to see a large standard library for Rust. If something is added to the standard library, then it is very difficult to change it afterwards because backwards compatibility.

It would be better to have blessed crates in crates.io. The Rust core team would release or audit them. If the blessed crates need breaking changes, it can be done by increasing their major semantic version number. That can't be done to the standard library.

Actually, there could be a "trust" level for crates: 1. blessed crates by the Rust core team, 2. trusted developers, 3. untrusted developers. Or something like that..

> It's also entirely free with no gotchas.

I'm running Affinity Studio on my Mac. Every time I run it, Little Snitch shows that it is transferring data to many servers, such as serifservices.com, canva.com, onetrust.com, amazonaws.com, sentry.io, ..

I've tried to set privacy preferences to maximum, but it hasn't helped. Am I the product? The old Affinity Designer 1 doesn't send any data to servers, so I'm still using it instead of the new app.

The same guy reimplemented Amiga LZX in Rust. https://bitplane.net/dev/rust/amiga-lzx/

He seems to like doing this kind of stuff.

Jolla is trying to release a new model in 2026: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/next-gen-jolla-phone/23882

If there's enough interest in US, then they may release it there, too.

The Mandrill was part of the launch event of Amiga in 1985 at the Lincoln Center. The event also included other famous demos, such as the bouncing ball. https://youtu.be/_QST1ZAJ29o?t=196

There was recently a comment how someone is still using Atari ST for low latency MIDI because modern PCs can't do it out-of-box [1]. Does Amiga have something that modern PCs can't do? If I remember correctly, Amiga didn't have MIDI out-of-box.

Yesterday, I read your comment, but it is now flagged. Can I read more about that stuff on a subreddit or website?

They are now disconnected from the global Internet. What happens to all BTC transactions made in Kazakhstan? Will the local network accept them? What will happen to them when the Internet connection to the global world is back?
