describing IntelliJ as “good”.

Shots fired back. 😈

Yeah, I’m about as rabid a Free Software advocate as you’ll likely be able to find, but it’s 100% time we moved on from Stallman.

I want everything to be owned by myuser, group media

Wait, “everything?” Yeah, that’s probably contraindicated. You don’t want to be changing ownership of stuff in, say, /etc or /bin or whatever to your user. For the most part, stuff in those locations should be owned by root:root. If there are exceptions (things that should be owned by root:<something else>), the package manager will make sure they’re set as they should be.

Then make the “one true frontpage” for Lemmy or whatever (implement ActivityPub, maybe borrowing some code from the Lemmy codebase itself, or kindof making a fork of Lemmy), and if it’s good, it’ll be used. If not, it won’t.

But then, it might well fall victim to this phenomenon:

Lemmy has lots of competing “front pages.” How will one more change anything? A more generic domain name or something?

as it gets better

Bold assumption.

Whew. My 586 is safe.
