What is the point of using anything Mozilla if it's just going to do the same shit as the services we keep trying to avoid, only worse?
Mozilla has fallen, it is no longer focused on privacy. I get that companies need money to operate, but there are alternatives to just poking holes to be profitable (while calling yourself "not-for-profit").
Everything under the Mozilla umbrella is questionable, at best.
My case is the other way around. I look for software in the store, and if I can't find it, then I install from the terminal, but I always update (and remove) from terminal.
I'm a diehard Gnome user, but this will certainly make me move to something else.
Now, in flatpak's defense, it's great to keep browsers away from my system, as well as some other inconsequential apps that have no business integrating with my system. I like flatpak's for these use cases. Everything else, I need my RPMs.
Guilty as charged, I owned a total of 5 jeep/Chrysler/Dodge vehicles way back when. Moved to Infiniti, then Tesla (fucking got rid of it within a year) and now I have a Chinese BYD with every telematic disabled.
The fact remains that, unless everyone decides to punish these companies by not buying anything from them until they change course, it'll only keep getting worse.
Show me 1 that has changed to keep their clients happy instead of the shareholders.
Yes, it can change within 20 years, for the worse, as history has shown us.
