    That is…unfortunate.

    I’ve been thinking about learning Rust after hearing about it’s benefits, but was put off by its ugly type syntax that I hate from C++ and the whole “fighting with the borrow checker to do simple stuff” thing. But now it seems it also has the terrible bloated dependency culture I hate from JavaScript too!

    IMO any security benefits from the increased memory safety are immediately nullified by the security nightmare that is hundreds of statically compiled dependencies…

    I guess I’ll keep waiting on the sidelines and see how the standard lib and dependency culture evolves.

    Wow I when you said 268 dependencies I figured JavaScript was involved…

    Is the culture of Rust/Cargo getting as bad as JS/NPM these days or is this developer just using an insane amount of dependencies? I don’t have any experience working with Rust so I’m genuinely curious. I stay away from JS in part due to the insane amount of dependencies every non-trivial project has.

    I’ve built projects in many languages and other than a few JS/React/ReactNative projects which seem to have unavoidably massive node_modules folders, I’ve never had more than maybe 10 dependencies in a project ever…

    Is there any way to download the whole git repo with history from that archive? Their FAQ seems to indicate there’s a way:

    If absolutely needed, you can use the more expensive “revision” option of the Download button, that will prepare for you the equivalent of a git bare clone , which you will be able to use offline. This may require quite some time (hours, or even days for huge repositories).

    But when I got to a repo I don’t see a “revision” option when I click the download button…

    Yeah iOS has had native support for content blocking since iOS 9 back in 2015. You just install any ad blocker you want from the App Store and you get full desktop style ad blocking in Safari. Also of course you can use DNS based as blocking as well to block ads in apps etc.

    I imagine there is a big conflict of interest from Google with Android ad blocking since they’re essentially an advertising company and run by far the biggest ad network in the world. I’m kind of surprised Android supports it at all to be honest, but good to hear there’s good support now.

    Fuck ads!!

    That kind of makes sense though. I figure they assume you’ll have one computer hooked up and then a bunch of consumer devices that all use HDMI. And if you need a second computer hooked up you can also use HDMI if needed. Probably makes the most sense to the most people as having more DP in place of HDMI would just mean the average user couldn’t hook up as many devices since (almost?) no consumer devices use DP unfortunately.
