That’s just the nature of giving someone access to private content though. Even a single user could mirror everything to a public space and completely ruin everyone’s day. You just have to take into account that you’re giving access to the user AND the instance admin when approving a request, and that you trust them to do the right thing.

Idk, how many more do you need?

What’s confusing about that? It’s null, just two different kinds with slightly different meanings. Is having two boolean values also confusing?! Should we simplify it?

I mean I can get behind trying to remove null entirely and replacing it with better concepts, but I cannot understand why having one more null value suddenly makes it confusing. You don’t even have to care in 95% of the cases, and it can be useful in the other 5%.

Honestly, it looks more like some kind of misguided purism to me.

So what’s wrong with having two flavors of null?

Shhhhh, bashing Javascript is cool around here.

I personally don’t like the htmx style of coding. It often feels like having to explain what I want to do to someone else using only a limited set of custom words, instead of just doing it myself.

I mean, I’m talking about switching IF there are apps for your workflow on Linux. If not then of course this is not (yet?) an option for you. But that’s exactly why I say switch app by app, so you can figure out if your workflow would actually work. Afaik many people don’t switch because the apps they are used to don’t exist on Linux, not because there are no replacements. And as a side effect, most Linux apps are open source, so even switching to just some of those is still a good thing.

Props for even actively thinking about it, that’s always the first step! If you want to switch to Linux I recommend first switching to apps that run on both Linux and Windows. They exist for almost every use case, and you can migrate gradually app by app.
