total flatpak user death

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean @apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises imean having one place is nice , but if flathub goes evil there is nothing holding u there , thats what i mean

we are literally talking about bwrap namespaces

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises @coolbean appimages couldve been an aight format if it wasnt for the dude being a nazi asshole

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises @coolbean the command line usage thing i used to agree on but lowk its a stupid point and even now i dont rlly care that much . do i prefer when smth is packaged natively ? sure !!! but flatpak itself isnt bad either . its a container its literally just a chroot to run your application

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises @coolbean flatpak not being actively developed anymore isnt the bad thing u think it is . flatpak is a glorified wrapper around bwrap . which itself is barely anything . all the actual functionality is in the kernel

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore @apophis they couldve at least made a good cli, man

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@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@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean @apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises ill give u that sure

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore @apophis github really isnt either

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore @apophis in fact its the most antisocial website ever where else would the concept of a stale bot have even gotten started

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises @coolbean "ill take no security over some security"

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@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@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore @apophis then what the fuck is linkedin

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@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@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean @apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises > look up who owns both

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean @apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises linked in is for managers , github is for devs. both are corpo culture. both are important networking tools to thosr people

i am all for detaching actual tech culture from its corpo counterpart , but thats not the case today , and as such github has a social hold on devs . even tho its slipping , and many many many are moving elsewhere

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

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

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

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

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean @apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises the only thing keeping foss there is free ci nowadays . which , fair enough

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore @apophis why didnt they do it sooner

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@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
