People have been making services for decades and systemd is 13 years old. I kind of feel like it probably has virtually all of the options its ever going to have. Also most of what people would use such a GUI for is to start stop restart enable disable the thing people have been doing for an eternity which doesn't require even displaying the unit file.

Splitting something into multiple executables doesn't make something not monolithic just like splitting a program into multiple source files doesn't make it not a monolith. It's not a monolith when the different component parts can be cleanly factored out, replaced, and used outside of the original context or with different versions of related components This is in fact very hard. Much harder than making a monolith.

For instance the X11 ecosystem isn't a good example of a monolith because its designed to make it trivial to swap in different loosely coupled components. You don't worry about needing your window manager and X11 to come from the same commit so they actually work. You can argue that the toolbox that systemd provides it is worth it but arguing that it's not a monolith just screams I'm not a developer.

Can moderators of a sub ban people from the instance or is there just an overlap between moderators of that sub and moderators of the instance?

Do you just not know how lemmy works? This is like blocking someone for posting on multiple subreddits that you happen to subscribe to.

"Resources that would have gone into Ads and Rallies, will now have to be spent fighting these Radical Left Thugs in numerous courts"

Or you could spend your own money

“It is Election Interference, & the Supreme Court must intercede,”

That isn't how the court works you file in whatever court has jurisdiction then appeal if you have cause. It would be contrary to standards for them to even comment at this juncture.

If he wanted to campaign unimpeded he could have simply not committed the crimes he has openly admitted to on TV

Why would you think access to Twitter users nonsense is in any way an improvement over existing training data let alone enough make spending tens of billions for Twitter a good deal. He bought it because he said stupid shit and when he thought he could back out they were suing him to uphold the deal he made to buy it and they were going to win.

Vendor could your computer to proveably assert that it didn't have the capability to do so or in fact the capability to do anything because you aren't able to root it.

They never cared about personal freedom I'm the first place it was just an excuse not to do what other people wanted them to do.

Only 24 years later

It case the subject wasn't entirely clear in my prior post I agree with you, and that is exactly what I was trying to say. You the user of a foss project, aren't a customer unless you give someone money. It IS your job to figure out your own issues. If you ask for help from your fellow users and they graciously provide you help then this is a gift you should appreciate. Because the person isn't an expert on that topic in the employ of the creator, they might not know everything, nor do they have the infinite patience imparted by being paid by the hour to provide you help. They have their own shit to do. Treating them with entitlement and contempt like people treat support will burn these sorts of folks out, and they are far from an infinite resource. If you want a paid support relationship instead of treating the open source community as free help whose time you are entitled to, you ought to actually pay someone to do that job.

Free open source software projects you don't pay for don't have paid support. If you talk to a fellow user it IS your job to figure out your problem. if you don't have the will to understand anything you ought to buy a support contract.

pipewire seems ready for primetime but I'm more dubious about Wayland. For instance KDE appears to still be a bit flaky and sway still works poorly under Nvidia and will never have proper mixed DPI for xwayland apps. Still seems like a tradeoff vs X which doesn't require a compromise. XFCE is roughly 10% of Mint users. Mint users are unlikely to switch because of wayland support
