It's heartening that Erdogan might lose the presidency this week in Turkey. But let's be clear: If he hadn't jailed his opponents, undermined the press and used state power for political gain, he would already be gone.

My afternoon hack project was a Rust hello world app for Windows 95. The really cool part is it's cross-compiled from Linux!! No MSVC involvement whatsoever in producing this .exe!

Somewhere, someone finally made this and I think it's beautiful

I’ve been meaning to switch to @Codeberg for personal projects, but was hesitant to take my work off GitHub.

Turns you don’t have to. Codeberg has a migrator to import projects (including issues and pull requests) from elsewhere, and setting up multiple remotes in git allows for using Codeberg as the main repository, and GitHub as a makeshift mirror.
