Hello, world!

This is the official fediverse account for the #rust/#rustlang CLI Working Group.

Follow us to learn more about building CLIs with #rust, keep track of the different CLI crates (including `clap`, `assert_fs`, `man`, and many more!), and hear about all the other cool stuff we do.

I am just brainstorming things for ActivityPub.dev. the easy things are:
- Educational materials
- Document conventions

The hard one is:
- Donation-driven open collective that provides stipends to devs building ActivityPub projects

Not sure if there's any interest in the latter

I keep on thinking about this dril tweet

@schlink paying for privacy is pretty crappy, it should be de facto. But paying for privacy still does beat not having an option.

I hope that Apple will popularize the importance of privacy with consumers. That would go a long way towards getting support behind "Apple-like privacy, but free".

I worry that it will lead to a lot of market misinformation and buzzwords while nothing actually changes.

@schlink Until we find out what laws are implemented by which country, we won't really know. Article 13 itself isn't a directly enforceable law, it's a requirement for member countries to pass their own laws based on their interpretation of the article.

@schlink I trust Ars for this sort of thing - https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/03/the-eu-votes-on-a-confusing-new-copyright-law-tuesday/

Basically even on platforms with the theoretical ability and financing to honor copyright thoughtfully and correctly, history shows that legitimate uses will get blocked, and having text in the law saying "this shouldn't happen" without specifying a mechanism or remedy won't prevent that at all.

@schlink This might be helpful. Those specific questions, I'm yet unsure about, though seeking clarification. https://changecopyright.org/resources

@schlink

Yes.

Also the filters would have to cover literally all copyrighted material (text, video, images etc) or else the platform owner would be at risk of being prosecuted for every illegal upload.

However, they would also have to allow all fair use of copyrighted material (such as quoting in analysis, doing parody etc), or else risk being prosecuted for that too.

This isn't technically possible, even for tech giants. This law will have to change.

New quick blog post about how you can use a simple bash script (really just a CURL command) to quickly organize your github repos.

Okay, maybe offering rewards for translations was a bad idea. Looks like someone submitted a bunch of machine translations, overriding good ones, just to get a reward.

But like, how would I know, for languages I don't speak? I don't see a way to delegate any kind of approval process to specific trusted speakers in the weblate system.

Sorry for incentivizing a mess
