Developers are lazy, thus Flatpak

A look at Flatpak madness

BrixIT Blog
@martijnbraam one wonders why we bother with shared libraries anymore. since we're obviously well past the point of caring about ram and disk space, most of what flatpak tries to accomplish would be more easily done just building a static binary. then people who run the software can be suspicious of binaries in the traditional way because software does stuff, and not given a false sense of security by a weird packaging and distribution system...
@chainik @martijnbraam There should never be point of not caring about RAM and storage
Shared libraries and much lower disk usage is what I love about GNU vs. Windows not fitting 50GB and beyond system partition
@speaktrap @chainik even statically linked software is not nearly as space inefficient as flatpaks are.
@martijnbraam @speaktrap @chainik Thats actually the main problem I got with flatpak. I used them the first time I run postmarketos on my 64G Oneplus 6 and had space issues realy quickly because I installed a few flatpaks.
