Yeah I also lose some minutes scrolling everytime I go to Flathub.
AppImageHub isn't that nice, I dunno why.
if doomscrolling through Flathub is somehow distracting or occupying your attention too much, you can extend your
/etc/hostslike this:Nah I can manage my addiction
That's exactly what an addicted person would say. :D
I'm not addicted, I'm doing that for 20 years and I can quit whenever I want.
I quit it 17 times already!
inb4 the machine stops updating and op gets a big virus
To avoid virus disconnect machine from internet completely. Problem solved.
No problem with Flathub, but FFS I wish so many projects would stop having all their releases and flatpaks or those damn snaps.
If you're going to do just one format why not AppImage? It is portable, easy to use, multiple ways to sandbox it, and newer versions have the option to create their own home directory so the files created stay with the AppImage for use on portable drives or between users on a shared partition.
I've got nothing against AppImages, but strong disagree there. Flatpaks (and also snaps, I guess) are easy to search for and easy to upgrade. Just add the repo and you're done.
In AppImages there is no built-in repository management or update machanism(?). At least I remember having to use some third-party tool to do all this, like "Gear" or whatever it's name is, but they all felt very janky.
I agree. Are there inadequate sandboxing controls in AppImage? It works well on many platforms.
except musl distros
I've run them with everything from AntiX to Nobara to Arch to Gentoo to...
I do like the granular Android-like controls for flatpaks, using flatseal or something similar is almost idiot proof, so I'm not upset there are flatpaks... Only when there are just flatpaks.

I think that’s just regular scrolling.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomscrolling (emphasis mine):
It's doomscrolling if you're a fan of appimages and static binaries like myself
Maybe but I did scroll and install/testing softwares for 3 hours, I also learn how to compile simpler software from sources that don't have any build instruction because some of the stuff I found only available on flathub. There's a few vibe coded softwares too despite Flathub banning ai generated code
I mean, you found useful software and learned something new? I'd call it nascency scrolling or smth
I think the meaning has shifted a bit (at least from my experience) to basically mean "spending an excessive amount of time on some digital content (usually rapidly switching from one piece to another)".
Of course this depends on the person I'm talking with but it seems to me that a lot of people are using it as I described above.
So Lemmy?
Any special theme/category? 😊
a mix between entertainment, utility and productivity
Looking forward to it, if you choose to share! 😊
What is the most interesting thing you have found?
What indie games would you recommend?
Nice thanks
Can Vermouth run native games installed from package manager or through Flatpak? I am looking for a good application that can do that.
Good to know I'm not the only person who does this
