Thunderbird is going hard on Rust all of a sudden. Recently they started using it in Thunderbird and now they’re starting a whole service in Stalwart (written in Rust).

Super awesome.

I use Bitwarden for passwords and notes

Ecosia is building a custom search engine index, ETA summer 2025

Instances are stores (think Amazon or Etsy). Products are posts. Sellers are users.

Stores aren’t protected from being defederated. You can still search Google or whatever, still visit the site and buy stuff. It just will not be a unified search, just like how anything else works with ActivityPub.

The good stores would be run by admins who don’t have an incentive to defederate from others. Stores don’t make money or take a cut from sellers anyway. The sellers aren’t in charge of the instance, just like an Etsy seller can’t do anything about the fact that they have competitors on Etsy.

The need for decentralization is that the store / Amazon / Etsy is broken up but the search and interactions, reviews, etc. are unified.

I think it makes sense. It would allow a decentralized unified search across all stores. With Lemmy I can search posts as long as the instance is federated. With this I could find products.

If you want to buy the app

GrayJay is free, just FYI

I thought that was a problem too, but then I realized I use email aliases (and basically everyone should too) and Addy.io and other alias services support custom domains. I have a custom domain working great and use Posteo.

Posteo + Addy.io + Thunderbird

You can do that but only under paid accounts.

What’s insecure about them?

Removed by mod

I love it, but it has some fairly big annoying things about it and I’m disappointed to see how little movement there is to fix them in GitHub. The dev seems very insactive.

Isn’t that something that could easily be updated by PixelFed?

I have both the 13 and the 16. Absolutely love them.

Hmm, I haven’t had that issue

Zed is amazing

All “break down” means here is to turn into extremely small micro / nano particles. With hard plastic the damage you’re doing to the environment is more constrained to one piece which you can scoop up if you want. It’s way worse if it’s turned into dust and distributed in rain water, ocean water, the veggies you eat, etc.

Rust is amazing. I’ve been using it for six years now. Being strict is exactly what you want when building anything more complex than fizzbuzz. It’s just that people aren’t used to it so it makes them uncomfortable enough to not attempt to learn it or see how beneficial it is.
