Not sure what to do once August rolls around. Install LineageOS on it?

I've been dabbling in #rust this past week and while I really like the language the compilation times are killing me.

I have a small project I was asked to help with, it uses axum, tokio and serde, and from what I gather use of macros in these packages causes the compiler to go crazy.

I've worked with OCaml, Haskell, Elm and PureScript before and I've never seen such compilation times as I see in Rust.

Gotta use that abundance of batteries and electricity.

Sarah Shaw has been held in a US immigration detention centre for three weeks with her six-year-old son.

Shaw’s case is the latest in a growing list of foreigners facing interrogation, detainment and deportations at the US border, including a British tourist, three Germans, and a Canadian and an Australian who were each held and then deported, despite having valid work visas.

Collapse is not just ecological. It is social, political, and spiritual. It exposes the frayed edges of a culture that taught us to be self-sufficient, endlessly productive, and always optimistic. It reveals the emptiness of those ideals.

From 2005 to 2017, the amount of electricity going to data centers remained quite flat thanks to increases in efficiency, despite the construction of armies of new data centers to serve the rise of cloud-based online services, from Facebook to Netflix. In 2017, AI began to change everything. Data centers started getting built with energy-intensive hardware designed for AI, which led them to double their electricity consumption by 2023.

The more complex society is, the easier it is for people to fake a proclivity for cooperation — whether that’s charging too much at a store or running a multi-national social media company ethically. And cheating while avoiding punishment is, evolutionarily speaking, still the best strategy a person can have.
