Mastodon is a specific software operating within the Fediverse social network, nothing it has done has made it “its own thing”. But I’ll stop arguing as it’s clearly pointless.

Mastodon didn’t invent ActivityPub or the Fediverse by a long shot. So calling it their social network makes me throw up a little in my mouth…

“Its social network”? Ewwww…

plonk

Somehow I expect a “GUI+Mouse is clearly better and thus your suggestions are worthless” response :-P

I wish people realized that there are vastly different possible approaches to different tasks and that one can be a lot less disappointed/stressed/angry by accepting one may have to learn a different paradigm once one has chosen to (semi-)commit to a new piece of tech…

Frankly: You come across less as “I am missing these features in many Linux file managers” and more like “I tried the default filemanager of my Linux distro and am angry the UX isn’t identical to that of Windows”. That’s not going to garner you much sympathy. Of the things you listed, I’d only consider a “preview” pane (that I’d rather not have, because of the security implications of having a separate potentially vulnerable parser that may receive less dev attention when issues are found) and maybe a “recent panel” (Not sure what one needs that for, I’d rather my system not track my actions so blatantly easy to find) actual features, and, yeah, quite a few Linux file managers can do something like those, obviously.

It must be good crap (technical term) ;-)

I’m not going to watch a video about it; But I assume the name is inspired by Neal Stephenson’s Anathem? That’d make sense…

Ouch, LFS of all things… That’s harsh.
