Which of these worlds sounds best for FOSS:

a) a world where all the projects have clear steps to compiling, participating

b) a world where you trust the developers to compile and put things together from black boxes, don't touch them, the devs know what's best for you

fuck flathub/flatpak/docker as "the way to run FOSS software", go guix and nix and debian

down with "father knows best" architecture

@cwebber Just got whiplash imagining a world where I have to compile electron and chromium from source to install a shitty desktop app 🤣

@mauve yes, which is also why I don't use certain kinds of tech which have become "accustomed" to not having reproducible build pipelines

@mauve If it can't be packaged in Guix and people have tried, that's a bad smell ;)
