Given the choice between publicly shaming bad behaviour vs. preempting bad behaviour with a laundry list of expectations, I generally prefer the former. (n.b. This is not about Codes of Conduct.)

That said, Cory Doctorow's "good questions" guidelines in this talk are both spot-on and concise :)

1. A good question has one part, not two
2. A good question is not more of a comment than a question
3. A good question is (almost without exception) not about AI

the developers of said software should have the right to claim sovereignty over their software and revoke the malicious users’ licenses
Proprietary software developers think that users who don't pay for their software or wish to remove anti-features from the software are "malicious".

You are supporting proprietary software.

"I will never use Flatpaks because I have to type flatpak run com.example.Application. It's insane Flatpak developers don't change it!"

Except you can add
/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin to your $PATH. This way, you can type com example.Application in your terminal, dmenu, everywhere. Also if you aren't using completions and insist on doing everything in the terminal, you have bigger problems.

Shout out to the Evil Skeleton (
@TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems) , who blogged about this 3 years ago. https://tesk.page/2022/09/28/what-not-to-recommend-to-flatpak-users/#aliasing-flatpak-run

When I first gave KDE Plasma a try, I mainly did so because I thought it looked great. And it does look great!
[...]
But when you start poking around the desktop environment's innards, you start noticing that it's not just a pretty face. It actually has some really killer apps included that have actually stopped me from going back to Windows. And discovering those apps is a ton of fun.
