I didn't use their mailing list, to spread hate about snaps. It's also my mailing list, since I'm a subscriber of this and several Ubuntu falvour mailing lists to help Linux novices and btw. my help usually is much appreciated on those mailing lists.
You are using Ubuntu resources to spread an anti-snapcraft message along the lines of Arch-style philosophy. I would appreciate if you could respect the Ubuntu motto and their general mission statement of targeting "human beings" rather than "Linux gurus", and extend that respect all the way to their desire to use Snaps as a means to simplify life for their target users. Quoted from your posts there:
A Mac user isn't a Linux user. We should expect another level of self-responsibility Linux users, even from those using Ubuntu, let alone the users of more expert orientated distros.
Um, no. Ubuntu is allowed to expect whatever level of self-responsibility they want, from their target users. Users who evaluate their self-responsibility as incompatible with the goals of Ubuntu are free, in turn, to choose another distro. I suggest debian, as it is more or less the same thing as Ubuntu just with more responsibility. ;) And you proceeded to argue the merits of switching to a rolling release distro! What is your point there, exactly? People use Ubuntu *because* it is not rolling release...
I only want to inform those who might not have noticed it. Since I'm not an Arch Linux developer, I can't ask Ubuntu to remove the logo. I even don't ask the Arch developers, to ask Ubuntu to remove it, again, I only want to inform. It's entirely on the "owners" of Arch Linux to decide, if they care about it or not. I don't fight for it.
The Arch devs already know, and expressed their complete unconcern in every aspect of that website and the community surrounding it. We discovered that the last time someone spawned a mega-thread in this mailing list. I'm sure you saw it... -- Eli Schwartz
