I am so done with Flathub.

First you have to spend hours rebuilding the entire world just to package the simplest thing, then you have to fight with Flathub admins about the application not feeling native enough on Gnome, which apparently is the only desktop environment that exists.

It is such an incredible waste of developer time just because you can't find any maintainers that know how to properly package an application…

As a father of three boys I spend a decent amount of time thinking about what young men need to be successful.

I have it narrowed down to the following:

Self control.

Be dangerous.

Know how to teach yourself new skills.

Know how to follow the rules, how not to follow rules highly effectively and know when to do each.

Know how to cook.

It was popular career advice for the last generation or so, to advise kids “do what you love”. It’s well-meaning, but the older I get the less I think it's good advice. It sets people up to seek happiness and fulfillment primarily in their careers, which for many, may not set you up for success *or* happiness.

I lean toward "do what you are good at" that can pay the bills, and then seek happiness and fulfillment outside of work, where you are more likely to find it.
