Flutterby™! (short)

Oh, yes, this object has the method as_secs_f64(), that's definitely letting me abstract out the code to the appropriate floating point size for whatever target platform this ends up running on.

Jewish Currents: When Jewishness Means Genocide

My partner and I were hiking recently on an international trail in Spain. People passing each other on the trail would say hello in different languages. I was joking about the possibility of saying “shalom” to people. And it immediately became clear to both of us that today saying “shalom” would be provocative. I was thinking about how the word “shalom,” which is a nice word, a word of greeting, opening, peace, has become a marker of hate, in a sense. And then it dawned on me that there was a different but comparable process with the word “heil.” In German, it basically means holiness, peace, wholesomeness— good things. But it became the word for evil. You would not utter it today, in Germany or anywhere. And the comparison between these two words was very heavy, but it was there. It was not an intellectual process. It was kind of an instinctive feeling.

Have a project that might be good for Rust. People like libcosmic. Fix the issues with dependencies and architecture, run:

cargo generate gh:pop-os/cosmic-app-template

⚠️ Sorry, "ssh://danlyke@www.flutterby.com/home/danlyke/var/git/squareplay2" is not a valid value for repository-url

Does everything have to suck? Can't anything just work?
