I’ll save my energy to be pissed off when this garbage actually makes it to market.

is that really a thing for unit files? Why the hell a comment needs escaping?
Worth highlighting that Telegram in Russia and WhatsApp in Venezuela - both with vastly larger user bases than Signal - are not blocked…

Like what? Some L takes on wars or politics? Because that’s all I’m seeing.
exactly, vague accusations in a lot of places, nothing remotely concrete.
…so I’m gonna go with “the people’s reactions to him likely had a point”
…and this is exactly the problem
ok, I’m left, but how’s that of any relevance.
if you can’t put a name or even quote an allegation, maybe you shouldn’t comment.
there are lots of intellectually dishonest people intentionally misrepresenting what others say in the hopes others - like yourself - parrot it just for likes and visibility.

twitter happened, I guess
But today I stumbled across a long twitter thread that I can only describe as intentional character assassination. The author of this thread is misrepresenting facts and making some pretty nasty accusations. Again this is not all that unusual, except for the fact that I was not invited to defend myself. […] The gist of this author’s thread is that I am a misogynist; and that I should not be taken seriously in any regard. I understand that efforts have been made to have me excluded from conferences, and to boycott the publisher of my books, etc.

If you had the right query, yes. But getting there if you didn’t know the exact words in the website used to take a number of attempts and google-fu. By early 2010s this was vastly improved.
my favorite JS framework is HTMX for making me write less JS or even none at all.
I don’t think so. A half-measure using docstrings would likely take more processing power and require an ad-hoc implementation because comments are not broken down into ast components afaik. It would also be more costly in the long run if they decide to convert it into a proper syntax, as a result of docstrings not having a single standard way of being written.
Python has introduced several syntactic changes for type annotations, this is not unreasonable.
As someone learning Rust, I’ll say that I appreciate the “advice” at the top because cloning is often tempting to use but - even though that’s usually okay - it doesn’t help one to practice the rust-specific ways of handling scope, ownership, and borrowing.
