"secure alternative"? Others are not secure?
Pretty much anything that's only available via an app store. The difference with web apps is that I can also use them on a laptop/PC and I have a bit more control about tracking (by using ad/tracking blockers).
not being forced to have an Android or Apple smartphone, so more open standards and just Web apps instead of proprietary apps
Did a bit more digging through the mailing list (also looking through the links posted on the HN thread), and to me it looks a bit weird.
OP came up with an initial patch (Wed, Jun 1, 2022 at 12:36 PM) that wasn't deemed to be good enough to be merged. Maintainer came up with a different patch (Tue, 7 Jun 2022 00:34:56 +1000) saying "but I wanted to fix it differently". OP then posted a reworked patch (Fri Jun 10 17:15:49 AEST 2022) that looks a lot more similar to the maintainer's patch.
The maintainer's patch and OP's reworked patch look quite similar, but from what I can see from the mailing list, the maintainer actually came up with that approach, and OP didn't then credit the maintainer in his reworked patch. @kairos@programming.dev can you please clarify, what am I missing?
I am not really seeing any toxic behaviour here.
OP's patch was largely based on code in ptrace32.c, but that code actually looks quite bad. So maintainer applied a better fix. Maybe ptrace32.c should be updated to use code that's more similar to ptrace-fpu.c now?
So you have just re-posted an old email to the mailing list just so you can link to it, likely confusing everyone on that mailing list.
and its linking ability is a huge simplifier for long term planning.
What long term planning? Who is going to come up with that plan? Will everyone agree to that plan? Who will be paying for the resources to work on that plan?
Combined with a Kanban board for tracking, progress of tickets. You remove a ton of pain.
I am not seeing how that would help. What are you going to do if there is no progress on something? Fire volunteer X because he didn't make progress on ticket Y (as he has no interest in ticket Y)?
You mean like https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/en/man8/snap.8.html
Still better than a random user claiming
This is a massive security vulnerability
with no justification whatsoever.
Not sure if they have only just added a clarification, but it now says

Never rely on being able to delete anything that has been published/posted. If you want privacy, don't post it. Yes, some systems make it easier to delete a post, but you can never rely on it being deleted everywhere (someone could have made a screenshot, etc.).
You mean, don't trust a flatpak uploaded by a random person, but if there are enough fake reviews, it can be trusted?
