Downvoting is just used as a disagree button, not for its original purpose of promoting discourse and hiding comments that don't add to the conversation.

As @RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ml says, create a distributed index of usernames, and do not allow the same username to be registered twice.

Basically me whenever I try to use Linux on a permanent basis. What's that, you want to run a program at boot? You'll have to do it all in CLI and there's a pretty high chance you'll brick the OS. Oh, and don't make any spelling mistakes!
Using a good programming language does not guarantee a good product. You have to give credit where it's due.
