I shouldn't have to learn how to use a product in order to comply with authoritarian demands (see my gripes about paying taxes last night).</p><p>If one side of that social contract is broken, why should users uphold their side by learning how UIs work? It's a deeply screwed up situation that derives from coercive tech, imho.</p>

@whitequark@mastodon.social @poleguy@mastodon.social the press release reads like "we want some chips act money"
<p>`unsafe` is a marketing lie invented by big rust to convice "industry programmers" that they have an escape hatch from "the borrow checker"</p><p>there's no escape hatch you just disengage the autopilot and manage everything yourself while following the same rules. but if you don't write rust you don't need to know that...</p>
