| 00:00 - 00:03 | Canonical has released |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | a new packaging system |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | into Ubuntu at these co-ordinates |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | for containerized applications |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | called The Snap packing system |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | That’s fine |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | Nobody’s ordering me to use it |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Mein Führer... |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | Canonical will |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | install the Snap version of multiple applications |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | including Firefox—even when installed via APT |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone who’s ever defended Electron apps as 'lightweight' leave the room |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | THIS IS CONTEMPTIBLE! |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | ABSOLUTELY FUCKING CONTEMPTIBLE! |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | They’ve turned my trusted package manager into a Snap launcher! |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | Snap is bloated, slow, and confined like a prisoner! |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | apt install is a LIE! |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | The backend it’s proprietary garbage! |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | Canonical holds the keys! |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | We can’t self-host a Snap store! |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | Mein Führer the client is open source |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | It's a walled fucking garden! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | We can always uninstall snaps if we like |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | the community already built a better system! |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | Flatpak! |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | Open. Modular |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | Built with freedom in mind! |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | But no, Canonical just had to push |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | Snap into everything |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | Startup times that make LibreOffice look fast! |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | Confinement so tight |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | it's tighter than the asshole of Stalin! |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | And don’t even get me started on theming! |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | I just wanted a Firefox install that didn’t launch like dial-up |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | Now I’m debugging AppArmor profiles just to open a PDF |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | The sandboxing |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | breaks basic desktop integration! |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | Clipboard doesn’t work, themes are broken |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | and it can’t even access the Downloads folder without permission! |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | They said it was for “security,” |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | but it feels like a punishment! |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Don’t worry, Pop OS still respects you |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | It was supposed to be our Linux distro |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | Now it’s just corporate middleware |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | We fought for freedom |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | The war is lost |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | First came Unity, then Mir |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | This is the final insult |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | Now it's all Snapware |
