    What can the users do about it? Maybe it is time to look into more distribution systems instead?

    First Arch and malware in the AUR now a ddos on Fedora. This is an attack on FOSS.

      Is that why their flat pack repo was so slow and failed.

      Flatpacks are toxic, so … that’s a win?

        Not just flatpaks, same with .deb and .rpm, bloat files. Actually, all packaged binaries suck too, they’re unoptimized. The only decent solution is to compile every binary yourself. Actually, that’s a waste and sucks because what if the developer didn’t code with the oversight of god himself? So we should write the software ourselves in C, because Rust is bloat. But wait, then we’re using a premade compiler, so we just need to write raw x86 machine code (only a bad dev needs 64 bit registers).

        Actually, x86 has too many instructions that are pointless which complicates the architecture of the CPU. Do we even need a CPU? What’s the point of half of this system anyway? I don’t need a computer to do the math. I can do it myself. I don’t need programs.

        Wait, but even just myself has bloat. You’re telling me that 15-20% of my body is just wasted energy, never to be used? Need to get that down to 0℅. What’s the point of 2 lungs when I can function with 1? Two kidneys? Eyes? Ears? Why do we have duplicates when one works just fine? What’s the point of an appendix or a gallbladder?

        Well, it seems that even the human body alone isn’t a bloat free native replacement. So it’s time to ascend beyond the mortal flesh. But even then, we’re confined to 3 dimensions. Stupid sandbox, what’s the point?

        Unfortunately I can’t think of any further solutions so it looks like for now I’m gonna be stuck with the oh so terrible flat pack

    Honestly, IBM deserves to get DDoS’d for their actions. This is because of the push for Wayland, PipeWire, Systemd and some other things they want to shove down our throats.

    My producer and I aren’t like that, thankfully.
