Ah, interesting. So, it's different from just statically linking against the latest driver lib every 6-12 months, because the Flatpak runtime gives you a bit of a guarantee that there won't be breaking changes in the meantime.

Sure, but through your link, I found the list of projects. In hopes that a project always has a repo associated, here comes the quiz: Can you guess which 2 of these projects I made up? 🙃

Main + Artwork + Astronomy + Biology + Chemistry + Electronics + Geosciences + Mathematics + Physics + Psychology + Science + Retirement + Emacs + GNU Emacs + Spacemacs + XEmacs

I did expect there to be lots of random words, but man, I seriously had to think for a moment to find a field of science that isn't covered...

I am inclined to write "Main +" and then just some random words, to see if you guys could tell they're not repos. 🙃

Hmm, okay, that doesn't sound too bad.
Does the sandboxing get into the way much? Can a user tell it to poke a hole into the sandbox, to use some specific folder, for example?

I think, my real problem is that I don't actually use Flatpak for any software I have installed. 😅
I'm not opposed to using Flatpak, but I disabled Flathub pretty quickly on my distro's software store thingamabob, when I accidentally installed some proprietary software from it. Fuck that shit, no matter how much sandboxing I get.

Sure, but presumably AppImage/Flatpak/Docker cannot help with that either...?

Yeah, alright, packaging assets makes sense. I've always been fine with just a .tar.gz, but having it be a singular file without compression is cool.

I guess, since AppImage emulates a filesystem, you can also have your application logic load the assets from the same path as if the assets were installed on the OS, so that's also cool.

So, like, dumb question. People here assumed that I mean AppImages, whereas I actually meant just a statically linked binary. Is that really the only reason why AppImage exists? So, that dynamically linked applications can be distributed like statically linked ones?

Yeah, that's the fun part. Hooking into some auto-update mechanism would be useful to me.

But my stuff is mostly in the scratching-my-own-itch stage, so setting up a FlatHub account, Flatpak metadata, sandbox rules, probably an icon and screenshots and whatnot, and automating the build+releases, just to get auto-updates, yeah... no.

I could code a whole nother project in the time that would take.

I just distribute it as a self-contained executable/archive. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Boah, CDU. Zuerst den Atomausstieg beschließen und wenn die Folgeregierung ihn dann durchführt, dann in der Opposition herumstänkern.

Habe ich nie verstanden, ob bei denen einfach zu dunkel in der Birne ist, so dass sie nicht checken, dass sie sich und andere unnötig in Gefahr bringen, oder ob die wirklich ernsthaft glauben, dass ich den Tempomat rausmache und auf's Gas drücke, nur weil sie mir im Nacken sitzen.

Soweit mein Verständnis ist, kommt das daher dass durch El Niño Jahr + Klimawandel die Meere bekloppt warm sind. Dadurch verdunstet mehr Wasser, was dann über der Landmasse runterkommt.

Krass, wir haben eigentlich immer eine VM rumstehen, wo wir unsere entwickelte Software testweise ausrollen oder einen Monitoring-Endpunkt drauf laufen haben.
