Are you using a white theme terminal? I hope it's just an edited screenshot.

What the fuck is wrong with you lol
We'll update the 200 mb program.
not pictured: the other 500mb of libraries and dependencies that tag along.
I am learning flatpak. Can someone explain why is like that???
Well, one part of it is that Flatpak pulls data over the network, and sometimes data sent over a network doesn't arrive in the exact same shape as when it left the original system, which results in that same data being sent in multiple copies - until one manages to arrive correctly.
something something ostree and how complicated the stuff it does actually is
Shoddy implementation they can't be arsed to fix. They do all kinds of shenanigans like show the size of all locales but only download one, or the other way around, it does not count dependencies and then realizes it has to download something extra etc. It's all over the place and I've given up on it making any sense. I've just made sure it's on a drive with plenty of space and hope for the best.
I also enjoy needing to download 1GB to update a 14MB program
The race never stopped. You buy an Apple II. It works for a while. Then everyone is running Lotus 1-2-3 so you gotta get an expensive 386. Now Windows 3.1 and 95 is the standard, and you need Internet too so you buy a modem and a Pentium machine for a couple grand. It's okay for a while. Then downloads take longer and longer, and your computer gets slower again, so you upgrade to 6mbps cable internet and an AMD athlon/Pentium 4, and Windows XP. It's okay for a while. But then games and software no longer fit on a CD ROM. They're using DVDs, and the space they take up on your HD is approaching tens of GB. Suddenly you need to upgrade to 25mbps internet and a terabyte drive to keep up with the space requirements and updates/service packs. You're on a multi core CPU now because nobody fucking optimizes shit anymore and assumes you have the horsepower to deal with it. Then they get rid of physical media altogether. Now you're stuck downloading a fucking several hundred gigabyte game or piece of software on a 100+mbps connection to do largely the same shit we did on that Apple II in 1980. Your system RAM alone can now hold all software ever made for that Apple II with plenty room to spare.
I get why a lot of retirees in the industry want to burn their computers and take up farming.
