Great! When I have more time I'll give it a read... just might be a few days.

The article discusses the author's decision to stop using Rust for game development after three years, highlighting several challenges faced with the language in this context. Rust's strict borrow checker and the requirement for frequent refactoring are noted as barriers to rapid prototyping and iteration, which are crucial in game development. The author also critiques the Rust game development ecosystem for being too tech-centric, which often sidelines the "game" aspect of development. They advocate for a development approach that prioritizes quick testing and iteration over strict code quality, which they find Rust does not support well.
I didn't read the whole thing. I used ChatGPT to summarize it haha.
Such a long article. Ain’t nobody got time for that. Haha
Yeah, we also call them communities
It will work with Voyager. I also use that app and will make sure. All apps that work with Lemmy should work with Sublinks.
Nice! Thanks a lot!
I don’t have a twitter account. What does it say?
Lemmy.World isn’t developing it. Some of their team members are contributing but they didn’t start it. I did. I’m the admin of discuss.online
This is correct, thanks a lot!
We now have a Pixelfed instance. Check it out!

Please welcome @lazyguru@discuss.online to the discuss.online admin team.
I’ve known lazyguru for over ten years. He’s a close friend. His skills are like mine. He will be able to help contribute to all projects of the discuss.online ecosystem.
lazyguru will help with moderation, system administration, monitoring, and development of new features. Joe has already improved some monitoring and is working on some changes to the infrastructure to make it more scalable. He will soon be helping with SocialCare.cloud once the first beta is released.
Please, take some time to welcome him!
Thanks, Jason
tl;dr;
We use SendGrid to send our emails out. By default, SendGrid enables link tracking. Link tracking was causing issues with allowing users to verify their accounts. In short, I disabled link tracking, and links should work for all new emails in the future.
Contact support if you need your account activated. hello@discuss.online from the email you used to sign up.
Issue
When new users sign up or when existing users reset their password, an email is sent to verify ownership of the account. These emails are sent from us through a service called SendGrid.
SendGrid, by default, will mask all the URLs to enable what they call link tracking. It's a marketing thing to track engagement with email. I have no use for it, but I didn't disable it before.
The issue is that sometimes this link doesn't resolve. An HTTPS error is shown to the user.
Resolution
The quickest and most logical resolution was to disable link tracking. I never use it. I did just that; however, any previous emails sent will still be broken.
I will continue to investigate the issue in hopes of resolving previous links.
If you are unable to verify your account, please email hello@discuss.online from the email you used to sign up. We'll manually verify each account that hasn't been able to be activated.
The small outage from this morning was from a planned update to Lemmy 18.3. Let me know if you notice any issues!

That's probably a better use of my time to grasp the article and what people think of it. Thanks a lot! I'll check that out.
