a456463··on Embassy: Modern embedded framework, using Rust and async
Yup! Which is also the reason why I distrust projects like these in general: bold claims when there is nothing to be backed up with. What else is hiding behind such bold claims?

And a full on fight against ownership of stuff you paid, right to repair something you own with your own money, and general computing access.
a456463··on Developers Are Solving the Wrong Problem
YAASS!! Readability is not the only reason to write maintainable, refactorable code that will not page you in the middle of the night with customers complaining about unknown bugs

This is the dumbest take that the author wants to believe and is stating it like fact and arguably exposes that author knows so little about reliable maintainable software

What are you even talking about? eSIM for travel requires to be connected to internet and in the country when provisioning. With a SIM you just pop it in. It is however nice to be able to buy an eSIM without having to wait in line at the airport, but you get what you pay for. The airport SIM is better than the eSIM from generic provider, depending on your use case, like making calls in some countries
