Runner up in "problematic downstream/distros packaging behavior" is #Canonical insisting on packaging old buggy versions in #Ubuntu using their endemic #Snap format. Ex.: snapcraft.io/gnome-calendar
It'd be really nice if they'd stop doing that, this is absolutely detrimental to the app's developers.
#SnapCraft creates confusion, until users eventually go out of their way to surgically remove it from their desktop OS in the same way Raiden rips out spines to acquire electrolytes.
Jo, chápu že snap nemusí být pro každého (ano, #Canonical si za to může trochu sám, no...).
Ale mě se to líbí: Díky snapům máme ve storu 3rd party - často ne-OSS - produkty třetích stran, které bychom jinak museli hledat po všech čertech internetech, a taky se asi i díky snapům poté chytnul flatpak, který dělá vlastně to samé (a asi trochu lépe). Takže za mě win-win 🙂
Vtip je ale obecně v tom, jako uživatel/BFU to vůůůůůbec není potřeba řešit... 😉
@nah @fvsch @sonny @matt But here’s the thing: Wayland would never have been made the default if, say, fonts didn’t render correctly. Not having a functional screen reader is as big an issue for people who rely on screen readers. So at some point, someone at Canonical decided that it didn’t matter that people who use screen readers would be excluded. And so they should be ashamed.
