Ah because of a bug in an app (or it's packaging), the whole flatpak ecosystem is corrupt and causes data loss? How is that different that someone mistakingly causing an rm -rf /home in an RPM post-install script?
Try again.
- smoldesu 5y agoSo now we're blaming developers for messing up with sandboxed systems? I really hope this isn't the rhetoric you use to convince people to start packaging with Flatpak...
- 3np 5y agoYou're the only one assigning blame to anyone here. Not all problems need a villain. Both of these things can be true at the same time: The library authors ultimately messed it up and could have prevented it by reading documentation better. Flatpak has a footgun and could have prevented it by better dev UX and/or structuring docs differently. Hopefully this incident is leading to improvements in both.
