Hey, I'm in the UK and have been getting bombarded by a somewhat-aggressive campaign by YouFibre for their broadband. The actual claims they make are pretty impressive and their Trustpilot score is good, but it's a little too good and a lot of the reviews feel a bit off so I'm skeptical. Looking on sites other than Trustpilot they seem a little worse, particularly a lack of decent support. Does anyone have experience with them?

Also feels strange that Netomnia would have full fibre set up for my postcode before Openreach or Virgin...

Probably not "angry" downvotes. OP provided a link where it's explained exactly why the switch was made. Even if you don't care for Rust it's pretty clear that this was done with more purpose than just "Ooo let's make it in Rust for fun"

Florisboard is the keyboard app that stopped me jumping between keyboard apps

I used LeftWM for a while, it's a window manager built in rust. One of the cool things about it was its themes functionality. You put all your dot files in a particular directory for things like your bar, and then you can save and switch multiple themes with a short command. Had some interesting community ones too like one based on the Star Trek TNG computer terminals. Ended up moving away from it after a while because it just didn't quite feel polished enough for a daily deiver yet and I got a little tired of the constant tweaking

Aye there's some reet proper creatures on British news shows. Scarily sometimes they don't get made to look quite as daft as that

The stupidest thing about it is that the name is based on some imagery from the film for The Wall by Pink Floyd which very much made the point of "Fascism bad"
