yes, also bad

minds is fascist

trackers are bad (especially google ones). odysee doesn't get a pass just for being floss

odysee/lbry's privacy policy isn't that much better but at least it's clearer

odysee has many problems, ranging from technical inabilities to questionable moderation but privacy does seem to be pretty much figured out (they do collect unnecessary information but it all looks like anonymous useful analytics)

in conclusion, 2 trackers on the main page ain't that bad

4 trackers on the main page

proprietary

9 page privacy policy

yeah, surely this is a privacy respecting alternative

internet is american imperialism

i can't speak for the lemmy's developers but rust is basically the perfect language for backend servers

• it's incredibly fast

• it's incredibly safe

• there is clippy, a incredibly powerful tool to detect common mistakes

• statically linked libraries (bad for normal applications but ideal for servers, it's why go does it)

• incredibly powerful pattern matching

• very safe and easy-to-use generics

• sanitized macros

these are just a couple of things that came to mind. for most of rust's life it was used as a language to create backend servers and dynamically link libraries so it ended up being very good for those things

what brexit does to a mf

china is a good country so people defend it, there is no propaganda here

don't know if you are a beginner to programming in general or c/c++ specifically but it's better to start with c before c++, it's simpler and clearer (than c++) to a beginner

then cout syntax is absolutely horrible and very misleading, use c's printf or, if you can, use fmt, it's super fast and even simpler than c's printf

Ideology over functionality

imagine actually thinking this is a bad thing, i'd take ideology over functionality anytime possible
