I stopped using the Snap Store the moment I realized the majority of the Snaps were uploaded by totally random people who have zero relationship with the app itself.

For example: https://snapcraft.io/publisher/kz6fittycent

You’re telling me this guy is personally involved with all 43 snaps he’s published? You want me to believe he’s going to dutifully maintain all 43 of them?

Yeah. Okay. Sure. Totally.

It’s like, there’s a man on the street corner selling chicken nuggets he swears he got from McDonalds. Do you want to buy nuggets from him or just walk around the corner and get them from McDonalds yourself?

Oh dear

It was great because none of them secured their protocols.

Everyone on Linux just used Pidgin and you had all your contacts and chats on every service all in one client.

Meanwhile, in 2023, iPhones from 2018 still get the latest iOS. And iPhones from 2015 are still getting security patches.
