  Seems overly complicated if the goal was a "simpler fortune" - a self-contained shell-script is perfectly capable of echoing random lines (I should know, I had one for generating email signatures). On the other hand, if all one wants is a set of fortune cookies - there's no need for the new client - fortune-mod exists: https://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/projects/fortune-mod/ https://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/projects/fortune-mod/

    That said, I appreciate a trivial rust program that does a simple job - as someone not quite having taken the time to learn rust yet?). I would probably not bother with the built-in cookies - if anything - have an option to "seed" ~/.config/friend/fortunes.txt or whatever is the proper xdg path. https://docs.rs/crate/friend/0.1.0/source/src/main.rs https://docs.rs/crate/friend/0.1.0/source/src/main.rs

  why waste the cargo namespace on stuff like this. it's not even very thoughtful.
