    No problem with Flathub, but FFS I wish so many projects would stop having all their releases and flatpaks or those damn snaps.

    If you’re going to do just one format why not AppImage? It is portable, easy to use, multiple ways to sandbox it, and newer versions have the option to create their own home directory so the files created stay with the AppImage for use on portable drives or between users on a shared partition.

    I think that’s just regular scrolling.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomscrolling (emphasis mine):

    Doomscrolling is the act of spending an excessive amount of time on digital content (e.g. short-form content, user-generated content, AI-generated content, and news) that elicit negative emotions. The concept was coined around 2018, and became more widespread in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) observed that the pandemic was accompanied by widespread misleading information, conspiracy theories, and false reports, which it referred to as an “infodemic”.

      I think the meaning has shifted a bit (at least from my experience) to basically mean “spending an excessive amount of time on some digital content (usually rapidly switching from one piece to another)”.

      Of course this depends on the person I’m talking with but it seems to me that a lot of people are using it as I described above.

      Maybe but I did scroll and install/testing softwares for 3 hours, I also learn how to compile simpler software from sources that don’t have any build instruction because some of the stuff I found only available on flathub. There’s a few vibe coded softwares too despite Flathub banning ai generated code

    if doomscrolling through Flathub is somehow distracting or occupying your attention too much, you can extend your /etc/hosts like this:

    0.0.0.0 flathub.org
0.0.0.0 www.flathub.org
0.0.0.0 dl.flathub.org
