I really like the way Silverblue handles it--with flatpak being the standard for GUI applications and toolboxes being the standard for CLI applications

Ah yeah--that is confusing here. I think there's a lot of UI improvements that are sure to come. For some reason there are two searches--a post search and a magazine search. The post search is the one that's visible on the top bar, and the magazine search is in the magazines tab (that lists all magazines), and in my experience is pretty good. If I search "tech" I get results from all sorts of instances.

All in all there's a lot of room for improvement, but it's such a young piece of software that I'm pretty confident it (and lemmy) will improve pretty rapidly in the coming months/years

I think the biggest problem with de-federalization is that transferring your account to another instance is impossible (or at least obtuse enough that I can't figure it out). Being able to have your account hosted on an instance that matches your moderation views is good--a lot of beehaw users like the more curated approach--but there needs to be a painless way to migrate to a new instance if the one you're currently on makes changes that you don't agree with.

Out of curiosity, what couldn't you figure out? Haven't tried setting up an account on Lemmy, but I just created an account on Kbin in a minute and was up and running

Al Franken still makes me sad. The Dems are always like 5 years behind the curve in how they deal with the Republicans. All the "gloves off Dark Brandon" shit is how we should have been messaging for years but it's like the Democratic party is only JUST NOW starting to acknowledge what they're up against.

I believe that Al Franken almost certainly wouldn't have been pressured to resign if the "scandal" had dropped this year.
