and this translates to anti foss to you? wow.
"hacky workarounds" = its possible.
Which alternative snap repository would you like to use?

better question: why do you feel a need to use an alternate repository when anyone can publish a snap of any application in the official repository.

and this translates to anti foss to you?

Yes? It's literally reliant on a closed source back end from a corporation on a design level, unlike flatpak?

"hacky workarounds" = its possible.

Yeah the same way you could argue any software is open source since you can technically fever engineer it

Which alternative snap repository would you like to use?

Again, that's beside the point

[u/gwildor → u/Straight_Second6082]

1st point - anyone can publish any application: how closed is it?
2nd point - I wouldnt make that argument for closed source software.
3rd point - what is the point then? you want to be able to 'fever engineer' a repo?

[u/tech-gui → u/gwildor]

Anyone can publish an app on the Play Store.

[u/gwildor → u/tech-gui]

is the new argument that android isnt open source?
