If I were giving you €50/month, and then one day I decided to give you USD$55 instead, am I “forcing” you to accept US currency?

Yes, you are literally forcing me to accept your dollarinos, which, unless I exchange them MYSELF, are USELESS!

You provided me, until an arbitrary cutoff day, always the negotiated currency (deb package) but then you, out of the blue, decide to change it to your currency (snap package).

If Canonical want to do their own package, why don´t they just make a new branch and ditch Debian all together? I am not aware of ANY downstream distribution to ditch their upstream’s package format, except Ubuntu. Well and those that lie underneath Ubuntu and ditch snap for the super upstream’s (debian) package format.

You can always reject my offer. You can ask someone else to give you €50/month.

so either suck it up to Canonical, or go to another distribution provider? Thats your solution to your not perceived enforcement of snap?

Hold on, have I fallen for Poe’s law?

That’s your pejorative to believe that, yet I am quite sincere when it comes to the fact that Canonical forces Snap on Ubuntu Users when debs were totally fine as other Debian derivatives use them with no issues.

And as you can see on other comments I’m not alone with that stance.

Being in the majority doesn’t necessarily make one right, as shown by [insert election result you disagree with here]. But if you actually are serious about that, you do realise how entitled it sounds to demand that someone do free work for you in the particular way you want it done?

And I believe you mean prerogative.

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
