I personally never get into this situation for some reason. So having this on or not will have negligible effect on my experience either way.

However, if lots of others need this feature, I support it.

It seems harmless to those who don’t need it, and helps significantly those who can benefit from it. Looks like an obvious net win from the UI standpoint.

I doubt this will increase bloat either, or make the code less maintainable.

So seems like a good feature? I would be OK with it being the default behaviour because I can use the icons/tabs on the bottom (double tap “posts”) to explicitely jump to the community list when I want that. That’s how I already use it anyway.

Thank you for this amazing app.

Can’t the MIC just use any existing Linux distro?

I am trying to understand what the injury here is?

Is it mostly about reputational damage from association? Kinda like why are we eating the same food as MIC and at the same table? Is there an injury here beyond this that I am not seeing?

Couldn’t the MIC shut down every FOSS project by declaring they love them and use them? I hope no FOSS dev is so simpleminded as to knee jerk like that.

We have to accept living in a dirty world with dirty people, to some extent. People we don’t like will use our favorite projects sometimes. That’s par for the course.

Where I would draw the line is implemeting some change into the distro that is either only or primarily useful for nefarious purposes, and is largely useless to 99% of normal/ethical use cases. Now THAT would be a real problem, and a real red line, imo.

you never have the correct change

As a result change accumulates. Every so often I bring it to my credit union and throw it into a machine and deposit it for free.

oftentimes you get changed short

It’s very rare and the mistakes sometimes happen in my favor.

takes up too much space

Not usually. Only when on occasion I need to process a lot of change at once is there a significant space requirement.

you have to balance between not carrying too little and not carrying too much

This is trivial. I never spend more than half a second on such a decision. Usually I know instantly what to bring.

hard to track spending

That’s a feature.

i believe that we need the option to use cache in society

I believe cache must remain legal tender and refusing to accept cache should result in a felony conviction plus one year imprisonment.

That said, I would eliminate the penny and the nickel, and put the quarter on a serious diet. Then outlaw all the .99 and .95 type pricing. It might be OK to do away with the dime as well and only leave the largest coin in use.

Privacy and the freedom from oversight by any large entity are non-negotiable.

The only oversight I support is me doing oversight on you, and never someone else doing oversight on me. I am not a masochist.

Anything offered without an argument can be negated without an argument.
