@asie ah, the weekly blog post about how fragmentation bad centralisation good

the problem is that doesn't work. you cannot trust one single entity with all the power that would be given to them this way, for example flathub maintainers have time and time again shown themselves to be actively hostile to application devs

the part about recompiling is also pretty much worthless, reproducible builds is specifically there to allow us to be sure the provided build is correct, without extra added things. if no one else than developers ever recompile it, we're entering a security and trust nightmare, and i want no part in it. also the electricity "wasted" recompiling is a distraction from actual electricity hogs
