I 'member hearing that this "practice" started when a lone researcher tried to publish an articule but was rejected 'cause it was policy that all submissions needed a co-author... and it went trough, he was able to publish this and others really good articules.

So, i dont see anything bad here, mr whiskers can be remembered by future generations with no harm done.

    1.- You realize you are under the so called "communist china 2.0: capitalist descendant" western countries fear so "much"

    2.-You run away like when honk kong got forcibly reincorporated to mainland china laws

    3.- You would be free again in a brave new country!

    4.- For a while..... until the distopian totalitarian regimes fueled by greed catches up to you.....

    Edit: Hahaha, got downvoted 'cause they know im right and got butt hurt.

    Just remember, today was UK, EU plans to do it tomorrow, and USA is already makin' drafts. You either protest now (oops, you cant do it in the UK) or lose your rights until the tree of fredoom demands blood again.

    Even if for a moment we assume u r right, what about electricians? cnc ? 3D printing? etc.

    Not a problem for u doesnt mean it isnt for someone else, and we aint even talkin about compatibility issues between cad software.

    Being able to do everything a "normie" would do without the need to use a terminal.

    And a way for companies to get flatpak as an alternative, i remember a friend of mine who tried to use 'buntu budgie for a while and he needed a software for cartographic stuff.

    We got lucky the company of said software (and yes, it needed to be THAT specific software to avoid compat' issues, so no free alternatives were viable even if they were available) used to provide a .deb package, we got forced to change a lot of sys native binaries to make it work and ended up just breaking a lot of other stuff to do so. Flatpaks (fuck snaps) need to be the default option to be available across systems without caring about distros, so anyone can run it on "mandragora linux" if they want to
