In a surprise move, Ubuntu developers have agreed to stop shipping Flatpak, preinstalled Flatpak apps, and any plugins needed to install Flatpak apps through a GUI software tool in the default package set across all eight of Ubuntu’s official flavors, as of the upcoming Ubuntu 23.04 release.

    No, it’s not nice decision. It’s more political decision, to force Ubuntu’s own solution instead of alternative.

    (I’m wondering if you would be notified for reply in mastodon?)

        Yeah. But Lemmy doesn’t add @username to it’s replies.

          @winnie
          It shouldn’t matter. Mastodon users should get notified when you reply to their post even though they aren’t tagged in it.

          At least that’s the case for me on Friendica but I remember the same behaviour from back when I used Mastodon.

      but how is this solution the best business wise?

      arent the development and maintenance costs of snap are currently outweighing the income?

      how can an own environment be monetized in the open source realm?
