I only watch what’s in my subscriptions. Now and then I’ll add something new to see if I like it or remove something I don’t enjoy.

1-2 days is enough to learn the basics, but I doubt you’ll be as nearly as productive as with something you’ve been using for years. Keep in mind that new languages also mean new frameworks, etc, some which take years to actually master, but at least months to get a good handle on them.

Also, from my understanding, Rust is a bit of a paradigm shift.

I agree with the sentiment, but in his linked project he says this:

Somewhat surprisingly, Trifecta does not touch the images it serves. This is a bit sad since it might be useful for the software to create thumbnails for example.

Apparently leaking EXIF data to the internet is not a concern of his.

There’s ads on the Lock Screen now? Ugh.
