total flatpak user death

[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

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@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

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises @coolbean now lets be pissed off at something more worth it : software than only includes build/install instructions for nixos . in this paper , i will

[kimapr@ublog.kimapr.net]

@fiore@brain.worm.pink @coolbean@brain.worm.pink @apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises software that includes no build instructions at all

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@kimapr @fiore @apophis that lists dependencies only through ubuntu apt install commands

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

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

ubuntu doesnt even ship flatpaks by default im pretty sure

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean @kimapr@ublog.kimapr.net @apophis@kill-corporations.enterprises death

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@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

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@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

[twinspin6@outerheaven.club]

@coolbean @fiore @apophis

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

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