#Ownership is a misnomer in #Rust. When you declare a mutable variable x using mut. x hosts the reference of the address of the value that is stored in memory. When you declare another variable y using &mut x, y can be used to change the value stored in that address. x being a mutable variable really does not "own" anything. It is worse than the case of joint ownership in economics. In the case of mutable variables, it is much better to call x a "joint referrer" to a certain address of memory.

Ah yes, another brave soul trying to decode Rust's #dynamic #dispatch, armed only with a "novice" badge and a half-eaten sandwich. Just wait until they discover "ownership" and "borrowing"—RIP their sanity.

#Reminder that if #workers directly owned their means of production (not through a corporation, not through the state, direct #ownership) then #Roll7 would own Rollerdrome, and would be able to do whatever they want with it regardless of what their parent company did or what happened to it.

I just published a post about owning digital content (music, videos, podcasts and more) without spending money, on Odysee.

(Unfortunately it's too long to post it here on Mastodon, plus it would look like a mess without text formatting But I'll work on an Articles section on FosseryWeb, then I'll share FosseryWeb links instead)

Interesting, I'm finally understanding why ownership exists. The Rust book has aged quite well.

#DigitalSovereignity: "The real power move for #creators is #ownership and control of their work and livelihoods. This freedom is actually closer for more people than ever before! Learn from two #fediverse futurists [@molly0xfff & @mike] how #decentralizedsocialmedia facilitates #betterpublishing, #community, and #businessmodels.
Speakers will cover where creators should focus their energies, and how they might thrive with or without #walledgarden social platforms."

"Capitalism and extreme poverty: A global analysis of real wages, human height, and mortality since the long 16th century
[…]
• Data on real wages suggests that, historically, extreme poverty was uncommon and arose primarily during periods of severe social and economic dislocation, particularly under colonialism.
• The rise of capitalism from the long 16th century onward is associated with a decline in wages to below subsistence, a deterioration in human stature, and an upturn in premature mortality.
• In parts of South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, wages and/or height have still not recovered."

The Verge: Ron Wyden asks for rules about whether you own your digital purchases. “Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) has sent a letter to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) chair Andrew Ferguson urging the FTC to require that companies admit when you’re not really buying an ebook or video game.”
