No memes/shitposts/low-effort posts, please.

That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

Discord is rewriting its entire desktop client in Rust with a native GPUI-based interface (dropping both Electron and React Native) (lemmy.ml)

It looks like it might be possible to target wasm (at least GPUI can), so hopefully Discord won't kill their web client.

If I have to use it, I'd much rather run their software in a sandboxed environment like a web browser than install a program that can then do whatever it wants with my user data.

Well, if they kill the web client, they will lose tons of users. I am on the web client right now, since their app is not working - again. This has been a common occurence on multiple machines, with different operating systems... They really should rewrite that shit.
