The future of Flatpak - LWN

1. a great, interesting article. thanks.
2. "Like, you bind something on localhost and suddenly all applications can just poke at it". He gave the example of AusweisApp, which is an official authentication app for German IDs that can be used to authenticate with government web sites. It exposes a service on the local host, which makes it available to all Flatpak applications on the system.

This is some of the stuff that I feel like we really need to take a look at. I'm not sure if this is like directly exploitable, but at the very least it's kind of scary.

Over the years i noticed that germany has ugly software and websites. in austria its different.

3. Another awkward spot the project finds itself in, he said, is with NVIDIA drivers. The project has to build multiple versions of NVIDIA drivers for multiple runtimes that are supported, and that translates to a great deal of network overhead for users who have to download each of those versions—even if they don't need all of the drivers. (This complaint on the Linux Mint forum illustrates the problem nicely.)

obligatory NVIDIA, FUCK YOU!
