OMG! This just cannot be true (but it is) 🤦‍♂️

Read carefully: crates.io account system totally tied to Github accounts and teams/organizations.

This means that no one can publish a crate without publishing its source code to Github.

And you know what Rust developers and Rust Foundation do about that? They've locked an issue regarding that 3 years ago 🤷‍♂️

Dear #RustFoundation and #RustProject,
You have an amazing language, but you need to get your s*** together. There is clearly someone(s) up in the leadership that does not know what they are doing, or just doesn't care.

This is not to say everyone that's part of the Rust Foundation or Rust Project is doing bad. For instance, sgrif@hachyderm.io and Mara@hachyderm.io seem to be doing good work (don't want to bother them with tags)

With the controversy surrounding the potential #RustFoundation trademark guidelines for the #rust language, someone should fork Rust and call it the "RS language." Make a new logo, replace all instances of "Rust" in the GitHub repo, and remove all references to official resources. Then when the trademark rules go into effect, we can all move to this actually #free version of Rust lol

The proposed #RustFoundation trademark policy is raising a lot of concerns. It doesn't read well. Drupal have a good one, perhaps they should look at this for inspiration: https://www.drupal.org/about/trademark
#rustlang

If you still want to take back your freedom to call Rust — Rust, without putting "NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE RUST FOUNDATION" disclaimer first — support this request with your voice: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/release-rust-names-and-logos-into-the-public-domain/92505

I've asked #ChatGPT to write a Terms of Service for the Rust name and logo, and now I understand where the #RustFoundation got it from.

Hi!! I'm new to Mastodon, so here's my #introduction — I'm a longtime #Rust developer, best known for writing the new *trademark policy* draft for the #RustFoundation (gotta keep those unauthorized brand usages in check, ya know)... Ask me anything!! :akko_fingerguns:

Welcome to Rust. The first rule of Rust is: you do not talk about Rust. The second rule of Rust is: you DO NOT talk about Rust! #rustfoundation #rust

@orhun https://youtu.be/gutR_LNoZw0 s shot explanation of #rustfoundation #policy #rust

#RustFoundation wants to claim that all crates with "rust" in their name imply support by the foundation?

Gonna be annoying to have to rename Xrust if so.

#RustFoundation Do not eff this up...

"Can I use a modified version of the logo on social media? In general, we prohibit the modification of the Rust logo for any purpose, except to scale it."

@guenther for those confused about the backlash on #RustFoundation promoting more efficient #crypo please read into the Jevons Paradox.

In case you've missed it like I did.

There is Rust Foundation now and everything related to rust was transferred to it.

This is actually huge!
