I just read this as: "Separate program needed to make up for shortcomings of flatpak!" This is to be lamented, not celebrated.

LOL, I like your attitude

Is it actually better?

No idea, I don't use either. I don't even know what you mean by "better" in this context.

I have a spare room in my house sat idle 80% of the time. I could easily install a few racks of servers in there and have some gigaflops of computing power to contribute.

But actually, being "idle" isn't the same thing as "spare" because it would cost a lot of money to install racks of servers, just as it costs money to run computations on an otherwise idle computer.

So I mean no, but no. It's only spare capacity in a stupid, convoluted way that's disconnected from common sense and common usage of the word.

But you managed to brag about having hundreds of gigaflops of taxpayer-funded computing at your fingertips so good for you, you go for that validation from strangers on the Internet.

I hate how much of a monopoly they have in the space

Not much use for messaging though; users have to both be online at the same time to send a message.

For now, until economics catches up with you :-) Enjoy it while it lasts I suppose.

would rather use some electricity to support a good cause than have the computing power sit there idle.

That's not "spare" though. That's my point.
