I just ran into the wonderful error message

the trait is not dyn compatible because method publish_video is async

and boy, what a rabbit hole. I found out about async_trait which resolves this by turning async methods into fn method() -> Pin<Box<dyn Future + Send + 'async_trait>>, but I thought that's what the async fn was syntax sugar for??? Then I ran into this member-only medium post claiming

Rust Async Traits: What Finally Works Now

Async functions in traits shipped. Here’s what that means for your service interfaces.

But I clicked through every rust release since 1.75.0 where impl AsyncTrait was shipped and couldn't find a mention of async. Now I'm just confused (and still using async_trait). Hence the question above...

Isn't a "click" just physically making two connectors touch so that a circuit is made to send the signal of an action? There doesn't have to be any noise associated does there?

For example, if we used 2 springs, one to hold up the button and another to make the contact with the circuit, the click would be silent. Or maybe something already exists that I can swap out into my mouse?

I stumbled upon this video and it's mostly about using AI to fight against scammers and hackers that use AI themselves.

Hidden inside Romania is a real cyber-crime-fighting team almost no one knows about: the Draco team. These are elite malware analysts, forensics experts, and penetration testers who volunteer to hunt down cybercriminals. In this video, we go behind the scenes with Bitdefender to uncover how the Draco team helped dismantle massive ransomware groups like GandCrab and REvil, saving victims over $1 billion. We also talk about deepfakes, voice-cloning scams, and multi-platform attack chains in the next era of cybercrime.

This contribution, delivered by Sven Thomsen, CIO of the German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein, outlines the state’s pioneering path toward digital sovereignty through Open Source and Open Innovation. It highlights the risks of dependency on proprietary software - including lack of transparency, inflated costs, and reduced security - and positions Open Standards and Open Source as essential for autonomy, resilience, and competitiveness. The speech details Schleswig-Holstein’s concrete migration from proprietary to Open Source solutions across its administration, supported by strategic planning, procurement reforms, and budget shifts. Initiatives such as the state’s Open Source Program Office (OSPO) and innovation hubs foster collaboration between government, industry, academia, and civil society, ensuring sustainable adoption and stimulating regional economic growth. Emphasizing both national security and Europe-wide competitiveness, the keynote calls for collective action to establish Open Source as the new normal in public IT systems, framing the transformation as a shared European mission for digital independence.

I read an old thread documenting the opinions of Lemmy maintainers an the .ml instance. The issue of funding a project with people openly expressing opinions many find distasteful and it being the biggest reddit alternative on the fediverse came up, so here's a topic to discuss it.

What should we do? What are the options?

Answer: No fork necessary, there are Piefed and Mbin.

PrivacyGuide.net mostly has US providers for these and given the current situation with the US, let's say using US services doesn't feel very private at all, regardless of how strong the claims are.

I'm not looking for total privacy, but just to start being more private until the EU gets its ducks a row regarding payment systems (VISA and Mastercard still dominate and make you transparent or at least translucid).

Bloody Roar is a Fighting Arena game made by 8ing/Raizing in 1997. It features a 3D space where movement works more like 2.5D. The Battles are fast, bloody and furious.

Eight Mysterious warriors appear, all with the ability to transform into half beasts. Blessed with super-human strength and agility, what will they choose to do with their new found abilities?

You can play as Yugo the Wolf, Alice the Rabbit, Hans the Fox, Mitsuko the Wild Boar, Gado the Lion, Bakuryu the Mole, Long the Tiger and lastly, Greg the Gorilla.

The European Union is slowly waking up to the fact that the US might not continue protecting it (a Republican senator introducing a bill to exit NATO, a new security direction talking about breaking up the EU) and the possibility of a Russian invasion. Multiple military and civilian facilities reporting drone sightings, Polish railway tracks being sabotaged, Portugal and Spain losing electricity for multiple hours, Russian submarines and warships along the EU coasts, severing fiber connections between Sweden and central Europe, the list goes on and on.

Obviously infrastructure will be attacked and communication cannot depend on Starlink, services from US tech companies, nor be centralised.

So, which networks (from software to hardware), can citizens join to bolster their communication in case of war? Meshtastic? Meshcore? Jami? Briar? Freifunk? What exists? What can work? Which limitations are there?
