Could it be that you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself, or that the job is causing you a lot of stress? This stress might lead to gastritis, either directly or indirectly through unhealthy eating and drinking habits (eg lot of coffee or coffee of bad quality, fatty food like pizza). If that's the case, being let go from this company might actually give you the opportunity to find a job with much less stress.

Rust? Like what's on some metals?

Reply in thread

I like the description by a Finn who said: Rust is like a car with automatic, while in C (or Zig) you need to change the gears. In Rust you literally follow the compiler, which allows many young developers to program at low level, while C demands more time to avoid bugs. It is up to each person what he/she prefers. I would prefer to control myself the stuff and learn the in and outs of memory management.

What's your favorite IDE right now?

My three IDE’s of choice in order of preference:

  1. EMacs: ultimative workhorse which can do many more - especially with org-mode (however, time intensive to configure which is why I used also ChatGPT to get it done)

  2. VSCodium: easy to manage almost anything due to its huge number of extensions

  3. Vim: don’t know, sometimes I feel the need to work with Vim and it’s many shortcuts

All are free and open source.

Got banned from reddit fighting Russian Disinformation

Reply in thread

Certain Lemmy instances are not much different from the kindergartens over on Reddit. The same type of kids take over mod roles, forcing everyone to follow their ideology - or else, banned!

I would fully support the option on Lemmy to block or ban entire instances that suppress free expression or prevent challenging false claims and narratives. I would also fully support the possibility to complain about a mod and even demand his removal as moderator with the possibility of banning even the mod. So, not only top-down, but also bottom-up - but so think the letter is not possible in Lemmy. Only instances can be closed.

You should be careful to tackle the gaming community. There are many nerds and script kiddies who are well connected and who have little troubles to make your life less happy. Something which did not exist in the Eastern block, and especially not in Eastern Germany - remember: it wasn’t Eastern Germany where the revolts started against the regime! They just jumped on the train. Not few Eastern Germans are dreaming nowadays to have something like the German Democratic Republic back.
