    You are maybe conflating stability with convenience.

    “Why is this stable version of my OS unstable when I update and or install new packages…”

    The entire OS falling down randomly on every distribution during normal OS background operations was always an issue or worry, and old Debbie Stables was meant to help make linux feel reliable for production server use, and it has done a decent job at it.

    Yes, I’ve done that, but I don’t want more icons on desktop and I’m out of room on the taskbar for even more goddamn icons. Unfortuantely the muti-account-containers isn’t quite what I want, and the other suggested plugin hasn’t been updated in 2 years and also requires a separate binary download to work, which just screams malware and if off the table entirely. Thanks for the suggestion any how. I’m still looking. Cheers!




  • You’re looking at the full mc package rather than just mcedit. Even then, Midnight Commander is absolutely worth that whopping 7.9MB of space it takes for all the functionality it provides.

    Openwrt is not an example to use to compate against a package size, as it’s target built to fit into small firmware storage spaces on all sorts of random hardware. That’s comparing existential philosophy with oranges.

    Would you download a car?



  • Looks more like you are interested in more influence power, and control for yourself.

    What qualifies you to be in a leadership position that directly affects content control?

    Your instances are not being used the way you wanted, so you propose structural and organizational changes that, suprise, benefit your administrative influence from your instances.

    You’re so focused on the details of your solution, you don’t seem to be holding or acknowledging any objective perspectives.






  • VOTES ARE ALREADY PUBLIC.

    If you are using Lemmy because you want privacy, you’ve already missed the boat, everything is wide assed open for datamining and advertising fingerprinting.

    I’d hoped for an open system with open APIs and open implementations that allow everyone equal access to the system and bring equal accountability.

    If people just want Reddit style fiefdoms with no real public accountability possible, then make a blackjack and hookers fork.

    I’m really not interested in a system that bakes in more authoritarian secrecy and control, which could very well be an unexpected outcome of backlash to how this has been presented.
