Ah, yes, now the angry mob who never contributed to Flathub will be accusing us of bribery because we changed the LLM policy to require full disclosure instead of a blanket ban.

This community is fucking hopeless.

I don’t hate Python per se as I’d need to be insane to have such a strong feeling towards a programming language. It’s great for prototyping, however, I tend to productionize prototypes instead of writing things again in something “serious” as I’m not particularly skilled in anything else.

I should probably pick up Go or Rust for real but my monke brain refuses to while it can happily mash more Python together until the regrets come down the road.

@nprofile1q... Yeah, thinking about it in terms of "direct competition" is what falls into ideological reasons. A random company producing skates is not competing with BMW or Mercedes. Linux desktop is less than a fly to MS, and also selling Windows is not how they make money.

GitHub is where users are, despite what people on Mastodon may think about it.

"The rules are fairly lax what goes into Flathub" - statement dreamed up by deranged

Meanwhile, there are 128 submissions with "awaiting changes" status, the oldest dating April 2022, and 40 submissions that are marked as blocked. The linter has 160 different errors preventing people from doing bad or just wrong things. There's a full-fledged moderation system requiring manual review of any permission change.

Fedora project leader shitting on developers trying to distribute their apps to Linux users at large sure leaves a good impression.
