I always found it weird that voting in the US takes so long

The longest I had to wait in queue was 5 minutes. Normally I just walk in, vote, had out

I don't believe you

not when there was a user intent like clicking a button.

For example in this screenshot, it's likely that there's only the "verify I'm human" button first, you click it, the steps pop up, and at the same time the command ist copied into your clipboard

Downloading a movie only to find out it was actually porn.

Or the other way around.

I've stopped using them for over a year now.

Granted, most of the apps I used were snap based, but some of them were flatpack.

Most of them were single-use "use this tool with flatpack" tools via github, so I really can't remember what those were when they just didn't work.

The ones I looked into why it didn't work were always some filesystem permission stuff. Configurable? Sure. Not something you should be needing to do on first launch if you want to just use the tool? Absolutely

The biggest issue I remember I had was with Vorta, a GUI for borg. Which also just had massive filesystem issues (plus some settings saving issues, which I assume also is a FS issue). Having problems reading your filesystem is quite a problem when you want to use a tool that, well, needs to read your filesystem.

I'm honestly not really interested in stacking a pile of tools up that just didn't work for me.

If you like flatpack, go ahead. More power to the people who do.

It's just not a tool that I had any luck with. And I don't really see a point in trying again for the forseeable future

Fyi, Mozilla released an official apt package a couple months ago to get Firefox without snap

psh. If he's not at least blasting it, it's not worth the news
