**A heartfelt welcome!** We will hold a Rust workshop for beginners. We will start with an introduction in the form of a lecture of about 45 minutes. This will be followed by a period of about 90 minutes during which you are going to work through exercises independently and at your own pace. We will help with any questions. We — and you — will be supported by the automated Rustlings course. Other experienced Rust developers will be on hand to help all participants directly with questions during the workshop. Don't hold back: You are very welcome to ask questions during the workshop! **You will need:** - A laptop, prepared as described below, so we can get started right away. **Preparation** - Follow the instructions at **** for the installation of Rust itself, as well as the interactive Rustlings course. - Also note the instructions for the editor and terminal. The integration with [**rust-analyzer**](https://rust-analyzer.github.io/) will make your Rust experience much more enjoyable! **Verify that your setup works ahead of time!** If you would like to receive help setting this up or verifying that your setup works well (especially if you use Windows), please come by our friendly Rust assembly or contact me directly. **Power supply** The workshop rooms at the venue are not well prepared for work with many laptops: unfortunately, there will not be any power sockets at the tables! - Please bring your laptop fully charged. - If you can, then bring a long cable and multi-sockets, so you can provide yourself and others with electricity. **See you at the workshop — great to have you!** Leonie ([@calisti@chaos.social](https://chaos.social/@calisti))

Astrology is usually associated with horoscopes, prediction, or belief systems. In this self-organised session, we’ll test a different idea: using astrology as a symbolic language to reflect on daily routines, decision-making, and energy management — without fate, mysticism, or “the stars made me do it”. The session is interactive and experimental. We’ll look at how astrological concepts can function similarly to tools people already use: retrospectives, calendars, personality models, ...

Jujutsu (jj) is a new version control system that uses Git as its backend. Since trying it last year, it has completely replaced Git for me. It manages to be less complex than Git, while giving you more control. I think you'll like it too! Lately, when people ask me complex Git questions, my answer is often: "First, install jj…" And that's only half a joke. :P --- A few things I like about Jujutsu: There's no index, but instead you get a subcommand for splitting changes. Commits have stable ...

How can we work together to improve political decision-making processes in the long term? What do you want from democracy? Motivation: While our democracy can be shaped by the people as they wish on paper, the population seems to be largely dissatisfied with political actions: - The handling of many crises appears to be inadequate - Urgent problems seem to be postponed - Democratic participation seems tedious and ineffective Dissatisfaction mixed with these perceptions can lead to the loss of ...
