@khalidabuhakmeh I usually focus on all the admin type stuff on Mondays. That way I get a game plan for the week. Sometimes I get some more technical work done in the afternoon. But it really just depends.

@wiredprairie Oh! I’ve run into that issue as well! Not on Axum though. Where I encountered it the error messaging was a bit more clear although equally frustrating to debug. 😅

Glad you figured it out though!

@mike It’s accessibility for me in reverse. :/ I’m prone to migraines and high contrast / bright backgrounds trigger them much more frequently.

90% of sites I end up dealing with cater the opposite direction 🥲

@mike Yeah light modes are definitely an accessibility issue for some. Especially people with older eyes that don’t see as well.

If there is only 1 mode though I 100% prefer they start with dark. 😅

@wiredprairie I had issues with Appstate a while back. I wasn’t including the state on the route using with_state() properly. Not sure if this applies here. One thing that I see those is impl IntoResponse.

I had to replace that with Response and call into() on the return values. The issue with IntoResponse is it still only allows one type. Which can be fine if you only have 1 valid return but trickier if you need to return a redirect or something on a different case.

@Ophitoxaemia I must be doing pretty well then considering I only have 1 😅

@nrc This is similar to my issue. I think that cloning should be considered expensive. It’s easy to reach for interim lifetime issues but, shouldn’t be default behavior.

If it is implemented I would like the ability derive it on specific types as opposed to having it as a default behavior for any.

@ThePinkHacker @nixCraft Careful or you’ll turn into a functional programmer. 😅

Iterations are really great though. They provide a lot more context and allow for more design patterns than for loops. They can make external mutable state a little tricker. But, Rust, for the most part pushes you away from that anyways.

@vincentbiret @khalidabuhakmeh Yeah I mean the whole process is pretty cheap / easy, but our ISP here (like I said) does it because it benefits them as much as us. They will be “lazy” though. Like last time I moved a server from one room to another and asked to get the cable run there. Instead of wiring a new path the left the wall port in the old room and just pulled the cable over to the new one.

@vincentbiret @khalidabuhakmeh at my house they run it through the attic. If there is no attic or crawlspace they will run it through the wall. But yes, it’s a full cable install.

@khalidabuhakmeh @vincentbiret Plus the majority of subscription buyers are more concerned about quantity and older titles anyways. I often find myself just wanting to play something familiar even if it’s old. Especially in working class (blue collar which is most of the US), they’re not going to pay 120$ for studio titles when they can stream ~fun enough~ or most other titles for $15-$30/mo. I don’t buy anymore cause the shelf life is only a month before the next big thing

@khalidabuhakmeh @vincentbiret I hate to say it but studios are probably going to get bought out or screwed.

@vincentbiret @khalidabuhakmeh Most people will have the cable run. My ISP will come out and run any number of cables for 15 service fee. (It benefits the next owner to have cables as well so it’s win-win). Fiber is only ~5% more expensive than non-fiber in my area (and it’s the case in most US cities I’ve seen). Which is a huge enough market for MS and Sony so there’s a strong possibility of it going this direction. Especially with Windows 12 supposedly being a cloud-based OS

@vincentbiret @khalidabuhakmeh Yeah, I just don’t play games enough or seriously enough anymore for 160GB downloads to be worthwhile. Granted they only take like 30 minutes on my connection but that’s not the case for most. It’s so much nicer to be able to just title hop in the ~45 minutes each week I get for gaming these days.

@khalidabuhakmeh @vincentbiret It’s very stable for me but our whole city (more or less) is on fiber since it’s equally priced or cheaper than the older connections here.

I think in larger metro areas in most of the US this will also be the case (shortly if not already) as it’s the same for the majority of my out of state friends as well. So I think the market is definitely big enough for it. Plus the “lock in” and subscription model is much better for Xbox / PS anyways.

@khalidabuhakmeh I think if anything they’ll be smaller and potentially even more cloud bound.

I feel like the market for console gamers (especially with Xbox and PSN working on PCs) is generally more geared towards people who want a minimal / easy setup experience. Most people that want the “horsepower” will opt for a PC since it’s much more general use.

@b33rdy Microsoft did a great job of making their products SUPER easy in VS Code for deployment / management etc.
