minus-squareryannathanslinkfedilinkarrow-up13arrow-down1·14 hours agoThis flatpak debate is a hell of a lot of theatre. We have a published flatpak app, we could slip anything in, there’s no strong audit process. There is an audit process, but it’s not comprehensive. The requirements are trivial to meet, and we did practically nothing to meet them. It’s supposed to be easy. This is one of these scenarios where everyone is technically correct. Our flatpak downloads and executes binaries, none of this extra security and sandboxing mentioned is relevant or usable.
