The Rust Lang Ecosystem — Trans Megathread for the week of December 16, 2024, to December 22, 2024

A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

Rust by itself is a great language, but what really makes it shine are its many great crates. The ecosystem around rust is one of the best there is, and its documentation is practically unrivalled. So lets look at some of those crates!

actix-web

Actix-web is an amazing web server framework for rust. It's modular, easy to use, intuitive and fast. It's also what lemmy is built on! So when you use this very site, you are using something build with actix!

Bevy

Bevy is a code first game engine for rust, based on the ECS paradigm. It's incredibly refreshing and different from most other engines. It is also unbelievably modular, in fact, just about every part of the engine cam be removed or added as you please! If you are every looking for something simple to play around, try bevy!

Tokio

The backbone of most asynchronous rust. It provides everything needed to build reliable, fast web applications!

Serde

Serde is the go-to library for serialization and deserialisation in rust. Its derive macros make it a breeze to use, and there are countless crates supporting various formats with Serde!

SQLx

SQLx is an amazingly simple sql handling crate. It is both feature rich and yet simple, and just a joy to use!

Reqwest

A neat little crate for sending http(s) requests! It's also used in Lemmy, and just about anywhere else where someone needs to do get some thing from an http(s) endpoint!

And this is far from all! Rust is a lovely language, with an even more amazing ecosystem!

Have an amazing week, everyone!

I'm gonna go antagonise the salvation army this morning, on account of fuck 'em.

Loving this site. Got misgendered on a comment and hot damn if someone didn't show up point two seconds later to correct them . Think I have a new hero

Thinking about an event in my teens when I was having pre-drinks with a bunch of guys, and one of them was joking about how I was mean to him, and I said a cutesy "aww, i'm sorry". It was kind of a dickhead frat bro-ish group and everyone just looked down and got super quiet for like 5 seconds and it was so fucking awkward.

After that I realised I needed to act more masculine or people will think i'm fucking weird and I basically repressed my "natural" personality and way of communicating for years.

It genuinely boggles my mind how many cis people there are. Like you mean to tell me we all get assigned a social category at birth based on nothing but our sex characteristics and yet 99% of the population is like "hell yeah that doc was totally right."

Fuck landlords actually.

Boymoding in a pink hoodie today.
I will be dammed if I get sir’d
- Stop boymoding
  
  Tbf pink ppg hoodie and leggings is more like…gayboymoding

awa :3

My nipples hurt, the HRT is working

went and took a concealed carry class yesterday and was apprehensive because i dressed full femme. It was hosted at a local pistol range. It ended up being lovely. The instructor was extra friendly to me (I sat in the front row). A cute little queer person (Pretty sure) was there and complimented my earrings. I love my town. I love being a woman!

Sorry I'm late
- Slacking
  
  I know, I know, sorry sorry the UAP business here on the east coast has got me preoccupied.

HRT update: skin is getting softer.
Not all of it has changed yet so there'll be, like, sudden patches where it's less soft on, like, my arms or legs.
Bits that've changed feel nice, still getting used to the difference in how clothes feel on my skin though.

God made me cold so the warmth of my gf would be all the greater

Fat maxxing rn to try and move away from my tiny twink body to actually gain the hrt benefits properly

Up with the trans
- Up with the trans
  
  Up with the trans

Me when my wife is cuddling me:

Me when I wake up and can’t get back to sleep:

2 weeks until I start HRT, I feel like I'm moving really fast since my egg cracked like 2 months ago but when I really look at it I've known for years and years and just suppressed it and I wanna feel happy about myself. Excited and anxious but honestly I'd start today if I could

🦫🐢

So hear me out: What if we somehow sponsor every single trans person in the UK to move to occupied Ireland/Belfast. Then, once they’re all living there, they all vote to leave terf island and reunify, then become new Irish citizens. So we save our trans comrades from the UK gov and reunite Ireland at the same time.
What do you all think?

Y'all, I've been talking to this girl and I think she fixed my sleep schedule??? I used to stay up until like 2 or 3 at least every night, but now i go to sleep before midnight so that I can be up when she sends me a good morning text.

Paying for bread with coins makes me feel kinda old-timey.

Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to trans chat. If your birth family sucks hopefully you have or had a better celebration with your friends/found family.

Previous me joking, "Haha transitioning is kind of hard. What if I just obliterate my self and desire and become someone who doesn't care nearly as much about dresses and skirts again?"
New me,

I'm getting my orchi on Jan. 10 and am starting the process of getting top surgery. Not sure I'll be able to get top surgery before they ban gov coverage of GAC but at least I got the process started. If they do, I'll get it done privately and raise the money the old fashioned way, a combination of getting on my knees and also mutual aid

Approval for the actual surgery part of my FFS went through today, all that's left now is to schedule it and start counting down. And if that wasn't amazing enough, I also finally got a refund check I've been expecting (but was told it could have come as late as 2028 lol) and it's more than I thought it was gonna be. Truly a fantastic day.

Well, I came out to my boss. She wasn't super familiar with trans stuff, but she was supportive and respectful.

one of the cats won't stop harassing me so here's his message to you all:
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnbghhhbbbgbvfcvc cbn
- Cute! Tell him hi back from beetle pls

Alright so taking a break from Hexbear didn't suddenly make me good at making friends, the main issue is burnout and capitalism, but I did realize that reading Yuri is what recharges me when I burn out every day from work, so that's cool.
Also I made the mistake of going on reddit and found this and now you all have to look at it

transgender
- Oh, hi, that’s me!

this thread is reminding me of how badly i've wanted to learn rust for years (shaking my fist at uni-aged self who had way too much free time). i got too many hobbies and my job is programming. i just don't have the spoons

i bought a new mug

Was reading Yuri before I went to sleep and had dreams of lesbian relationships, I have ascended

One of the major classic meditation objects is the ‘foulness of the body.’ I wonder how many monks would have been trans. Or autistic? Allistics don’t seem to understand how gross all humans are. Idk.

Getting the gender marker updated at the Social Security Administration office was easy, once I was able to get an appointment. Was complete within 5 minutes, and the staff was nice.

Thought I was a boy-wife, but maybe I'm a girl-husband instead?

For those of you who wanted a comm for Trans Music Production...
It's here https://hexbear.net/c/trans_synths

Hi everyone. I now have a gzd federation friendly account :)

Six weeks of monoing E's made my nips fat as fuck and also turned me into a soy liberal who cries watching sad films

I hate all this fucking Christmas music. No I don't care about this fictional lady/man's straight relationship I am trying to disassociate during work

Got a compliment on my hair, which I am generally self conscious about. That was pretty nice

This fateful day, I thought to change my display name on my laptop away from my legal name, and well, one thing led to another, and I'm now a NixOS user.

a kiddo brought me their cup, seemingly very clean, and they started telling me about how they drank milk out of it and cleaned it up after and i had to ruin their day by informing that i still needed to wash it

- All things are impermanent. Personally I have given up contemplating gender and sexuality for now but I may resume again at any time.
  I read in a book on autism that some explicitly call this correlation “autism gender.” I have a few explanations. We socially present and are perceived as different no matter what and therefore often do not fit neatly into at least consciously into the default. If we take the time to investigate our feelings surrounding the subject we see quickly that the ideas imposed by neurotypical society about “gender” are inaccurate (bottom up vs top down thinking). Of course it could also be the case that are brains are extra “weird” and the sensory information we take to be the basis of our ideas are actually notably different than cis people (“inherent gender” or whatever).
  My state is of investigation of general sensations with emphasis on the “internal” ones. Once clarity is increased with those in addition to the development of other things I will be better prepared to return to this investigation. Honestly I only get more in awe of this absurd existence being of and among gross hairless apes in an absurd society and gender seems like a secondary question.

  This investigation rocks, love it.
  
  When I assumed I was cis-by-default who knew pretty much nothing about trans people except they existed, I decided to look up "autism gender" because it felt like my relation with gender was greatly influenced by presumed autism. I don't think I even knew how prevalent autism was for trans people (at least for those who acknowledge being trans on surveys) and was honestly confused how autistic people could be trans given gender just seemed like neurotypical BS, but also didn't really want to think about it too much because I didn't want to deal with actual self-reflection.

- I used to do this on fan fiction sites. Turns out Sonic fanfic is amazingly popular.
  
  Hexbear has a tagline that recommends a Sonic fanfic
  
  Same! I try to look for the ones with the least fics, Age of Wonders has 2 on ao3 and they're both about Planetfall or whatever the scifi spin off was
- Eh, probably one of the more amusing hobbies out there tbh.
- If you find no results though, you are obligated to fill the void.

My grandma sitting here ranting about how they inject chickens with estrogen to give them bigger breasts and so when guys eat the chicken it gives them a woman's homonal cycle.
Question for the mega: are chicken fingers a valid substitute for HRT? 🤔

Pronouns update

Well, it looks like I get to have my friends again, at least for the next month. Going to be interesting to see how I act and feel around them, a lot has changed since I saw them last.
