Of course installing a single messaging software will download binary blobs and other crap.
I'm too lazy and worried right now to compile it myself so fuck it.

Total flatpak death.

- is a single client implementation. bloated for no good reason.
- says they use mail as delivery mechanism, still implement their own bespoke server for more speed or something, throwing away their biggest selling argument

re: Total flatpak death. 

@bonifartius @mangeurdenuage to be fair their bespoke thing is still just a plain dovecot smtp server with scripted addons like permissionless automatic registration and filters on it to make sure only encrypted messages are accepted or relayed

re: Total flatpak death. 

@i @bonifartius @mangeurdenuage Their thing is also horrible to install on anything that isn't Debian and explicitly Debian 12.

re: Total flatpak death. 

@i @bonifartius @mangeurdenuage At least it is completely unnecessary and only a good-to-have on a server install.

@phnt @bonifartius @mangeurdenuage someone will write a single static binary version eventually, let he who doesn't run a single vm/container cast the first stone at them for targeting a single distro
