       It's concerning to me that arguably *the* way to get Linux apps, Flathub, has all of its packaging data hosted on GitHub, with seemingly no plans to move away from it. With the direction GitHub is going, I am worried that Flathub will want to move and it'll be too late to do it cleanly.#Flatpak #Flathub #Linux

       @justsoup, the way to get programs is still through a downstream distribution's repository.  Flathub (and to a large extent, Flatpak) exists to deliver proprietary spyware, so I don't think GitHub continuing to be proprietary spyware affects the ethos of Flathub.
