Maybe I’m being a bit too nervous, but companies like Fairphone or Framework rely on goodwill from technical people who are ready to pay more for less stuff to encourage their politics. If poeple categorize them as non-rule, they are not going to pay the premium. I think, for a lemmy user, that would set the odds of buying at near-0. again, maybe i’m being too dramatic

I agree that putting pressure this way is a good thing, but the pressure needs to be conditional. If you just mark them as dead before giving them a chance to correct course, they are better off reaching all the way for the customer base of “apolitical” users. The ebassi screen has a parodic tone that reduces the certainty and definitiveness (people will just put FW into question rather than fully discard it. i think), and avoids citing the name directly, limiting the damage to people who already have some understanding of the situation

anyways at this point I think there is enough threat to elicit a reaction on their part, and that we should wait for them before burning everything down. and I hope they can just have a quick fact check and everything will be fine and they will actually have money to donate because they won’t if they keep up the vibe of the first response

I’m being way overinvested ok byeee

Please don’t keep this title if the post reaches the frontpages

It has only been 12h, and they only put up one (awful) placeholder response. Give them a bit of time to look into things before telling the headline-readers to never buy their stuff

I think I wanted to know how it felt. Like, the vibe of aluminium

If you already have the correct version of the flatpak installed, you can try flatpak build-bundle.

flatpak build-bundle LOCATION FILENAME NAME where

• LOCATION is the path of the repo on disk. Run flatpak info -l org.kde.arianna, and copy the part before /app
• FILENAME is the output file name, preferably .flatpak. Eg: arianna.flatpak
• NAME is the name of the app, here org.kde.arianna

The generated file can be installed with a double-click, or with flatpak install <file>

This is the equivalent of an Android .apk. It contains the app but depends on a runtime. If you want to install it in a few years, odds are the runtime will no longer be available. You can backup the runtime the same way with the --runtime option.

flatpak build-bundle --runtime LOCATION FILENAME NAME where

• LOCATION same as earlier
• FILENAME eg arianna-runtime.flatpak
• NAME is the name of the runtime, which you can get with flatpak info --show-runtime org.kde.arianna

This takes a while, for some reason. Maybe it’s compressing stuff?

The runtime is installed the same way as the app: double click or flatpak install.

Note: I only did this once, and not specifically on Arianna. Hope it works.
