Making the Case for a Modern Synaptic-Style Package Manager on Linux

The Linux desktop has evolved, and it's high time for the “advanced package manager” experience to evolve with it.

When I go on my wanders I come across beauty, everywhere, of all kinds. There are specific places in the forests near our home where there are perfect moss gardens. I return to them often. To admire their richness, their deep eloquence. #mosstodon #moss #forest #森　＃苔
Detailed photo of a small dense surface area of forest floor covered in different patches of moss, lichen, and likely liverworts. Mixed in the moss are small rounded leaves that look almost like succulents, a plant called stonecrop. The mix of these mosses, lichens and plants is varying shades of mostly dark green. There's also a variety of textures. Some of the moss looks like fluffy carpet, others more branch-like. An overall image of rich dense verdant life.

Matrix is a certified moderation disaster. The catlang community is bootstrapping one rn and everytime someone does something it just punches a new hole in the process of managing it.

This is just a fucking shitshow. "It's decentralized" does not explain why server wide permission management is so shit ass.

@neauoire no, no, no, no Devine. This isn't about the bridge. This is about the fact that like, people on the instance can create spaces the server owner has no power to control.

Like, the fy channel that just got made, neither I nor Boonie could step in and do any moderator activities. In fact, Boonie doesn't even know a room or space got created on his server 😟
