It's a package repository, but I would hardly call it "central"

I'm not saying that's not true.

I'm saying I've almost never downloaded a Flatpak that didn't require a new dependency downloaded.

When I removed all my flatpk some time ago, I had: Steam, Viking, Discord, FreeCad and Flatseal to manage them. All of them and their dependencies used something arounx 17 GB of disk space (most of which was of course several versions of dependency runtimes), and that was after I removed all the unused runtimes that forn some reason it doesn't remove after I uninstall or they are upgraded.

I'm sure if I installed more Flatpaks, some dependencies would eventually be reused, but you still need a good collection of them at any given time. So in pracrice you still need a lot lf space unfortunately.

I don't know if it's still the case, but up to a couple of years ago, Flatpak was configured so that externally mounted folders were not accessible. I discovered that when Steam on flatpak refused to install games on my hdd, and it was quite frustrating to figure out how to enable it. Still, it's difficult to criticize how "bloated" are electron apps (they are) when I need to download 2GB or runtime for an 80MB telegram binary

Snaps integration is even worse as I've seen browser extensions state they straight don't work on snap's browsers. Also desktop integration on gnone (even files drag and drop between snaps) are broken on the ubuntu installations I tried.

Appimages have the least drawbacks and are my preferred methods between the three (at least they take less storage space than an equivalent Flarpak for some reason, but are still broken sometimes), yet they still miss a central package repository, and that's a big problem.

Appimages are usually quite reasonable in size, it's Flatpak that usually require 2/3 GB per app since every package has its own version of KDE/Gnome or other runtimes so every app still has to download a new one.

Investing safe will small dividends but high safety is not as difficult as it seems. You can get a mix of: • state bonds • big ETF collection that basically never got in red since their beginning 10+ years ago • some bank accounts even give you a small 2/3% just by leaving the money there. Not the best but it's better than nothing

But also remember to clear cookies and cache when closing the browser, so all the collecting ia useless

Please don't make it a generic US high school drama. There's already enough US-defaultism in Star Trek.

Also, the image is glossy, it feels like AI generated

Yeah, but carrier locked phones are illegal in many places (and always have been), aren't they still allowed in the US?

How can anyone have access to these 3 furballs and not keep them for life?

Let's not forget:

• useless "help" pages that try and explain the most basic of concepts without giving you any information you are looking for, despite it being in the title
• pagaes takes 35 seconds and 17.876 lines of JS code to load
• accept that we share your data with out 237 partners
• page requires a login →login→login form redirects you to homepage instead of page you were before→navigate to page before→page requires a login
• page loading itself after a while
• 8 months old link is broken because they refactored their knowledge base archive without bothering to redirect old links, despite every arricle having a simple code

I in looking at your Microsoft, Intel, Autodesk, HPE, Xilinx...

If you only wany to retrieve your files, run the crack on a VM, it will probably run like shit, but you don't need to do so all the time
