“I’m sorry, I can’t accept that. Well, except maybe this once.”

Does it count if my pet peeve is that I inadvertantly wound up having to do myself?

Brigading actually occurred to me while writing that comment, which is part of the reason I said it wasn’t the best written (but was too tired to try to do it right). It definitely would be a fine line to walk, which is why I said the users should have the power to override the mods at least to a certain extent. It’s not a fully fleshed out idea because it only occurred to me just before I wrote it.

To address the question you just posed, my first thought (also just now) is that it might be addressed by allowing either side to appeal to “a jury of their peers” - some sort of randomly chosen group (in an effort to reduce the possibility of stacking the deck) equally made up of moderators and users across various instances that have all opted in to be a part of the pool of potential jurors (this system would obviously need some time to build up the pool before it could be implemented). Exactly how many people would be required for a proper jury and pool of potential jurors would need to be hashed out.

This is just spitballing off the top of my head, however. Setting up such a system would be a significant undertaking. But I think it’s at least a start down the road of coming up with a way to solve this thorny issue.

(I’m going to try to get a little more sleep before I have to get up & get going so I’m unlikely to respond for a good while, just to let you know.)

Sorry, I meant to reply to you with [this comment] (https://lemmings.world/comment/12766392), but - further proving what I said in it first - I inadvertently sent the reply to the wrong person (I’m only noticing it this quickly because I was woken up by the call of nature).

My sleep meds are kicking in, so I’m not going to be able to give this a proper response. However, I just want to put this thought on record in response to your question.

The community itself should have the power to override the mods - at least to some certain extent, IMHO. Each community should have a meta channel of sorts wherein issues related to the community itself are addressed, such as disputes like these. I disagree that some single person or small group should fully “own” the community, and those who’ve invested time in being part of it should have no ownership or control over it whatsoever.

This thought probably isn’t the best articulated, but that’s why I’m going to bed now. Gnite, and I hope you all have a good discussion for me to read up on tomorrow. Thanks.

Moderation certainly takes significant time and effort, which is why there will only ever be a rather small subset of the wide variety of personalities found in humans actually doing the work for free. It’s tailor-made for those without much else to do in life & who are desperately seeking to have more control over something in their lives. Not saying that’s true of all mods by a long shot, but it’s definitely a major draw for those of that persuasion. They’re always going to be an issue unless there’s some way to counterbalance their power without having to abandon the community and start all over again building another - one which still is just as vulnerable to falling prey to the whims of a person who shouldn’t be moderating.

They didn’t call anyone tankie - they referenced the type of people falling under that classification. Big difference from making an accusation.

The problem with the “freedom to do whatever you want” argument you’re making here is that one person (the moderator in question) has significant power and sway over what others trying to speak with similarly-minded people in that community are allowed to say - making for a serious imbalance of power. You need to use that community if there’s no other similar ones with an established & active user base which covers the topics that community is centered around.

As such, it should be incumbent upon the moderators to strive to be as close to the ideal of “impartial” as humanly possible. It is perfectly reasonable for users to call out bad faith moderation when it happens, otherwise Lemmy will be no better than a more disjointed Reddit.

When I first was researching scrcpy, I found a thread (probably under “issues” on the GitHub repository for scrcpy) where someone else requested the same. They then went on to create a prototype using Java that the author of scrcpy seemed impressed with, but that was as far as it went. The prototype was based on a very old version (1.x) of scrcpy, so I never bothered trying it. Might be usable for this purpose, however.

Ah, ty.

I can log into the account on a browser with no such restriction, so it’s not protecting much.

Rooting doesn’t automatically give root permissions to just any app that wants it - you still have to allow it.

If only that didn’t require a PC - like an Android version that could run on your tablet to copy your phone’s screen.

OBS?

Google is working on replacing Assistant with their Gemini AI crap - would not be surprised if it no longer works there.

Considering your handle, Imma guess it was a LOT.

I didn’t mean to imply you didn’t have priorities, just that a couple of them seemed to be conflicting. To me, what you described called more for reliability than cutting edge. I understand your concern with getting security updates expediently, but you can get those with less system stability risk using a more standard distro.

I haven’t used a SUSE in a very long time, but as I recall Tumbleweed is an official product of theirs. I’ve not heard of Rhino until now, which gives me pause in considering it - let alone the fact it’s not backed by a known significant team. There’s nothing wrong with that, but when setting up a server like you’re describing I’d rather it not require a significant amount of time at random once I’ve got it up and running, which is what can happen when relying upon less vetted software.

It’s your choice, obviously. Rhino looks like it might make a nice desktop to play with, but I personally would really be hesitant to use it for a server because I just don’t have the time to deal with problems at random - I’ve got enough of those already in my life. Your priorities are obviously different, and there’s no denying the fact that even things going awry on your server can be a plus from a learning perspective. I would really be concerned with the project being abandoned since it’s just a year old, tho.

Good luck whichever way you choose to go.

I’m confused. Your OP seems to describe wanting something stable and “fault-tolerant,” but then you go and ask about an unofficial rolling distro? I think you should figure out what your priorities are first.
