<p>I really can&#39;t understate how much I&#39;m enjoying my &quot;hard way&quot; journey with Rust this summer. The &quot;hard way&quot; meaning (a) Typing in things myself, (b) Not using an IDE, (c) No LLMs, (d) Making a lot of mistakes (e) Experimenting, and (f) Figuring things on my own. </p><p>Honestly, it&#39;s been the most fun coding I&#39;ve had in a long while.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> I&#39;d happily donate to them if they split off a non-profit for preservation work. I don&#39;t donate to for-profit enterprises.</p>

<p>today&#39;s nightmare: an extremely vivid and detailed first-person view of having a miscarriage while some cop takes an unusual amount of interest in my body and makes remarks. complete with waking up with relevant phantom pain</p><p>that&#39;s a new one for me i hope it doesn&#39;t become a trend</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> it doesn&#39;t bother me and I&#39;ll probably add a buck here and there.<br />But I have the feeling it might deter some others? I could be totally wrong on that, it&#39;s just a feeling. So I hope that doesn&#39;t impact GoG negatively and instead just gives them some extra funds.</p>
