Ubuntu Flavors Will Stop Using Flatpak (www.omgubuntu.co.uk)

In a surprise move, Ubuntu developers have agreed to stop shipping Flatpak, preinstalled Flatpak apps, and any plugins needed to install Flatpak apps through a GUI software tool in the default package set across all eight of Ubuntu’s official flavors, as of the upcoming Ubuntu 23.04 release.

Helix,

What solution would you use instead of Flatpak for sandboxing and reducing the workload of maintainers providing packages to many distributions at the same time?

I'd rather have a maintainer spend time on actually maintaining software instead of packaging it. They can package as AppImage, tarball and Flatpak and I'm happy. You don't have to use Flatpak, you know? Linux is about choice. I have never used any software which was available exclusively as Flatpak.

Helix,

yeah, Snap is magnitudes worse than Flatpak.

Helix,

I agree with sanctions against states and companies but sanctions against Open Source Software if it's not malicious are very weird.

Helix,

Xi received 2952 votes out of the 2952 NPC delegates present.

I’m pretty sure getting exactly or over 100% of the vote is much more likely in a fascist government than it is in a democracy.

Is it possible for parliamentary members to abstain from the vote? Why did nobody do it?

Helix,

This sounds exactly like George Orwell’s 1984.

More than 800 instances of environmental degradation recorded since the war in Ukraine began (grist.org)

Russia has targeted electric grids, oil refineries, and nuclear plants, damaging ecosystems, soil, and water. Attacks on oil depots caused tens of thousands of blazes that have burned across Ukraine. About a third of the country’s forests have been affected, and over 57,000 acres - 230,000 sq km - of forests have completely...

Helix,

Fuck Putin.

Helix,

Na dann sollten sie wohl endlich mal ordentlich in FOSS investieren. Nur das hier wundert mich:

Dazu solle eine Open-Source-Struktur kommen, an der sich dann aber angesichts der damit einhergehenden prinzipiellen Offenheit auch US-Unternehmen beteiligen könnten.

Den USA kann man nämlich auch nicht vertrauen.

Helix,

I really dislike the CCP in most regards but the amount of transparency they force on gambling and gacha games like this is pretty good. Down with Diablo Immortal, that pay to win slot machine piece of shit of a game.

Helix,

If you use “CCP” you’re basically identifying yourself as an ignoramus

Oh I’m sorry, of course I meant 中國共產黨.

You seem to have overlooked I actually praised the Communist Party of one of the Chinas in my comment.
