It's actually not, it's very good! The premise is what if the soviets beat the US to the moon. Each season takes place in a different era in the space race, in an alternate history where things are a bit better.

The current season however takes place under president Al Gore and everything is being privatized (which is portrayed negatively) so there's kind of a lot of shitty stuff going on. The show itself is good.

The one thing i find hard about rust is that most of the programs I write for my day to day use are things that basically just call linux system calls, or use popular C libraries, things that C++ is extremely good at. Or they're things that are trivial to do in python.

So as much as I like Rust, I don't actually know how to perform a sha256sum on a file and then set an xattr for it (without shelling out or downloading a random crate).

It's little things like that that keep it from being my go-to, but it's really good and I want to use it more.

"Self-declared leftists are supporting maduro, Putin, and Assad. Whoever they think they're on the side of, it's not workers." Who even thinks this one? Yet I could dig up a blue sky post from a fairly mainstream person saying it. This one in particular bugged me with the equating of the three of them. But what leftist is supporting Putin?

Plenty of people like, don't want a war with Russia and think arming Ukraine is dangerous, and you can critique that if you want, but there's no "leftists" supporting Putin.
