Why would you rather install some random rpm from someone you don't know as opposed to a flatpak?

What always annoys me to no end is when people complain that python type hints are not runtime enforced, when this is quite normal for most statically typed languages: C++, go, rust. Python already had runtime type checking mechanisms and t

So then why did you qualify your sentence with "capitalist societies" if what you say applies to non capitalist societies also? And if it does not, give examples.
