total flatpak user death

@apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises @coolbean no? social forces hold people there. flathub is not a social website in any way , and idont see how it could even become that

@fiore @apophis github really isnt either

@coolbean @apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises false, github to devs is a very social place , to discover issues to fix , and network. the industry uses github as a social network

@coolbean @apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises and like github is HOLDING YOUR CODE HOSTAGE pretty much . flathub isnt that , u can literally just publish the package yourself if u rlly want

@fiore @apophis it doesnt thoooo u can literally just upload it to a different host and stop comitting to github

@coolbean @apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises see the multiple free software projects doing Just That lately

@fiore @apophis why didnt they do it sooner

@coolbean @apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises because who cares man this is not a dangerous thing like discord asking for your id is . this is somewhere to dump your code to be forgotten about . ppl say they usr github , sure ill use github. then afterwards if u dont want your code to be fed to copilot , you leave. thats the story

@coolbean @apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises idk man u can not like flathub. fair enough

u can even not like flatpak .

but like . this isnt something where u have no power , its not like discord or twitter where in order to be able to stop using them u need to either convince people to stop using it , or rip yourself from your social ccircle

dont wanna use flatpak ? package the thing . i promise you everyone , even flatpak users , that uses the same distro as you will thank you

and sure , if flatpak goes evil they might uhh ? idk ? require an account to download the packages . sure lets say they do. u still have the code to the thing ? u can literally build the flatpak on your compooper its piss easy

this is actually a nothingburger ngl

@apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises @coolbean nah man u r way off

ubuntu doesnt even ship flatpaks by default im pretty sure

@apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises @coolbean im sorry but like you should actually know what you are talking about before coming up w a thread throwing shit at something , any criticism youve made is a nothingburger so far

and i am NOT a flatpak fan . by a long shot

@fiore @apophis the real problem is linux's distro model above all. if we could just have cohesive operating systems flatpak would never have been needed

@coolbean @fiore @apophis

@twinspin6 @fiore @apophis we couldve just had a well supported unix clone but NOOOO

@apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises @coolbean i literally would rather package smth for my distro instead of using the flatpak . thats not the point

the point is , if you are a user that is not willing to roll up their sleeves and package smth , there really is no point to criticizing flatpak. especially if your point contains no technical arguments that hold any water , and especially if you bring up some nazis blogpost about it .

im all for you learning how to use flatpak , or hell learn how to not use it , and packaging or building the things u need . i can even help in some cases

but throwing shit at projects for deciding to offer pre packaged builds in a format that is easy for them and available to most users instantly ?? whats even the point of that ??? it isnt even rlly expected that the project itself offers packages . them doing so on flathub is a nice bonus

@coolbean @apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises imean true

@apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises @coolbean this is free software , the users shape the experience

the one that is being mikkkrosoft brained here is you

@apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises @coolbean free software is not being controlled by an obscure cabal of germans in red fedoras , lead by lennart poettering

its shaped by the way things work better for most people

@fiore @coolbean @apophis
>its shaped by the way things work better for most people
If that was true, gnome and the whole security autism around Wayland wouldn't have happened.

@phnt @fiore @apophis yea its susceptible to personal brainworms just as much as anything else in the world. fucking mao fucked up like this what makes you think devs wouldnt
