I'm no fan of either of these corporate entities approach to antitrust, but surely Microsoft is having a laugh right?

I really like flatpak! But it has its limitations. Thats okay!
There is just a space for containerized images of desktop apps that are distro independent. Linus talks about this at a QA, but having a maintrainer for every app and every distro under the sun is just a waste (he used his diving app as an example). Flat park is a good solution for packaging up apps, and it makes sense for stand alone apps that have a lot of moving parts and don't need to integrate with the rest your intro. Their are basically 5 apps that I use everyday that install through flatpak. Stuff like discord and Joplin.
At the same time, if something is supported through the distro package manager directly, I would rather install through that. Especially for core system components, but also for apps that aren't really daily drivers for me. I definitely feel like I have to actively maintain flatpak installations, so if I can install without a flatpak, I would rather not. For small apps, especially simple command line apps, their probably isn't that much maintenance work to get them on the distro anyway.
I feel like, at this point, it has more than proved itself as a general purpose desktop scheduler. But there are situations where you would want something different but a lot of software depends on it anyway.
I also kinda don't understand the hate toward the project itself, other than hearing some of the technical guidance on it has been a bit arrogant in the past or something. Sounds like sily open source drama to me honestly.
That line was always supposed to be a joke.
Isn't he s pharma guy?
Who wants to live in the sticks though?
Its going to be all for nothing at the end of the day.
Someone walking up to you us bad, but it isn't a credible threat to your life. On the one hand, youtube should be held liable for incentuvizing this behavior, even if it means repealling section 250. On the other hand, you shouldn't start a shootout at Walmart over a tik tok. All of America will become a battlefield.

Well Oops, this my bad. I guess its just america.
Lol yeah, I was half joking. Not going to take it out on the dev obviously.
Well they are always going to be looking for any oppurtunity to tow the company line. But this one is kinda hilarious.
