What part of Rust is fun?

C is fun to me because the syntax is easy to understand and straight to the point. C is also great for learning low level coding, I find Rust so confusing

    My brother had internet access over 3G but he wouldn't let me use it, but sometimes he gave me some new games to play. That's how I got to play Minecraft and that's how I learned programming with Game Maker. But yes, I also had a Wii and a DSi but I had just a handful of games, so I played Pokémon White all day and almost finished it three times

    Most of my childhood was in the early 2010s but for me it was like I was living in the 90s because I was always at my grandparent's. They had all sorts of retro tech I played with as a kid. I burned CDs, I listened to cassettes and I had no internet, ever. My first exposure to a PC was with a mid 80s PC clone running Windows 1.0. So it's probably something like this

    (Price is in € EUR)

    For context, six months ago I bought a renewed Thinkpad X395 for exactly this price and I got: An actually decent CPU and not something as powerful as a Wii, 16 GB of RAM, 256 GB of actual M.2 SSD, a really nice 1080p Touchscreen, really nice build quality with metal and a nice backlit keyboard. Heck, even when I bought a cheap laptop in May 2020 it was much better than this and it even was brand new for the same price.

    I know this CPU very well, for this price you are getting something that has trouble playing a Youtube video in 1080p at 60 FPS and can't even run the latest version of Minecraft at above 10 FPS. Now imagine this combined with Windows 11 and only 4 GB of RAM...

    No, this is not because of the current hardware crysis, this is pure greed. But hey, 1 year of Microslop 365 is included!

    I've been trying the COSMIC store and it looks like it killed my apt somehow. Apt says that there is a version mismatch between some libc6 packages, but I checked with dpkg and it all looks correct.

    Apt says that I've a newer version of some packages but that is not true. Is there any way to fix this?

    EDIT: Fixed formatting
