Over the weekend I've added multiplayer to my #bevyengine game using Bevy Replicon.
The two clients in the video operate in the same world which is managed by an authoritative server, and is replicated to clients.

The MIT license is the default in Rust… but it’s just a coincidence that suits the Rust Foundation’s corporate owners.

You need to have a GitHub account to publish to crates.io… but it’s just a coincidence that suits the Rust Foundation’s corporate owners.

Uutils… it’s amazing these coincidences keep happening.

The Mozilla Foundation & the Google money is Rust’s “Don’t Build the Torment Nexus”.

ual update:

• ual for Rust devs
  • https://github.com/ha1tch/ual/blob/main/doc/primer/ual-primer-04-rust.md

I added two new intros to the "Primers" collection, one is a general intro, the other a specific one for Rust developers.

The drama over the #RustLang #uutils project using the MIT license instead of GPL is absurd. Some are making the assumption that GNU coreutils was the original implementation of coreutils—it isn't—and therefore uutils should have been GPL. Or that uutils is the first non-GPL coreutils implementation—it isn't—and will be the target of EEE (hyperbolic fiction). Software licenses cannot be retroactively revoked, nor can the original or any other repository fork be retroactively closed.

`async-std` has been discontinued, https://crates.io/crates/async-std.

The authors suggest to use `smol` instead, which is a great advice! https://crates.io/crates/smol

Would anybody be interested in multiple articles that would explain how to build a search engine in Rust?

I really wish #uutils was under a copyleft license. It’s cool but using it just makes it easier for mega corps to lock down things even more. Yah #rust / #rustlang is faster and more secure, but #GPL is better for society.

If we were using uutils in 2005 we wouldn’t have the free routers that we have now. I don’t want to think what could be lost if we just drop all things #GPL for mit license stuff. It’s just helping megacorps at societies expense.

PSA: async-std has been officially discontinued; use smol instead
