The campus pub has plenty of beer options. Which one should I choose? 🤔
#FOSDEM

@codewiz Interesting. I'm wondering how much code currently is written in #Rust for #thunderbird ?

Aha! Found the outlet that's spreading all those Belgian beers 🤩

Of course the Free University of Bruxelles would serve beer on campus! #FOSDEM

Integrating #Rust with the huge, aging C++ codebase of #Thunderbird is not free of challenges...

Also note the person drinking beer in the corner. Yes, that's a common sight at #FOSDEM 😂

#Thunderbird is also embracing #Rust 🥳

#Servo, the web rendering engine written in #Rust that was orphaned by #Mozilla in 2020, is still alive and working on its 2024 roadmap 👍

There's a 2-months old #NetworkManager bug with no code:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/1435

Android has been doing 464XLAT for at least 5 years.

If some websites are not loading on the #FOSDEM Wi-Fi it's because your Linux laptop lacks a CLAT daemon.

@ervin I can't imagine gdb's "info threads" output on a Radeon RX 7900 😆

#gdb #amdgpu

@kravemir Indeed. And they should be sharing perhaps 80% of desktop plumbing libs and daemons. Things like dbus, Mesa, NetworkManager, Wayland, Flatpak, etc.

@pep I've been away from #FOSDEM for 17 years 😅

@ReimarBauer A good friend brought me a bottle so I didn't lose my spot in the Rust room 😇

This entertaining talk contains useful design advice applicable to any programming language, so you should watch it even if you're not planning to learn #Rust.

The 4 horsemen of bad #Rust code are: Ignorance, Excessive Abstraction, Premature Optimization and Omission.

My favorite #FOSDEM talk so far is "The Four Horsemen of Bad #Rust Code" 🦀

Finally got into the #Rust devroom. There are lots of interesting talks this afternoon.

Crowded food trucks...

I should have packed a sandwich and, more importantly, a bottle of water. #FOSDEM

Crowded hallways at #FOSDEM...

@benoit FOSDEM is indeed a super-spreader event. These rooms are not even well ventilated...

Hopefully most people came fully vaccinated against COVID 2024 and seasonal flu.

The KDE booth was out of t-shirts my size, so instead I decoded.to become a supporter with a recurring donation 😇

The upcoming #Plasma 6 release took an incredible amount of work, the #KDE foundation deserves our support and gratitude!
