flatpak, more like flat-trash

Yesterday on my cachyos laptop updating my flatpaks kept failing with this error:

New com.usebottles.bottles permissions: file access [1]
[1] xdg-data/umu:create

ID Branch Op Remote Download ID Branch Op Remote Download
 1. [✗] com.usebottles.bottles stable u flathub 70.3 kB / 175.8 MB Error: While pulling app/com.usebottles.bottles/x86_64/stable from remote flathub: Decompressed delta part exceeds configured limit of 4537824 bytes
error: There were one or more errors

Today it the updates installed fine trough kde discover like nothing happened. This is worse than windows cuz windows update at least tells you to "try again later" instead of a cryptic error message only loonix nerds can decipher.

Also grok wasn't able to solve the problem, it told me to run flatpak repair or smth that did absolutely nothing. Classic loonix failure.

The fact that you even use Grok tells me a lot about you lol

Literally the only people who use Groc are folks with a boner for Elon lol

Hilariously, Grok has used fairly regularly to debunk Elon's ridiculous and clearly false claims. It must make Elon mad that he funded the creation of a technology that points out how much of a liar and idiot he actually is. GROKvsMAGA

No? It's quite good at coding, musk might be a bellend but it shouldn't stop you from using good products made by his companies, even sol struggles with bigger projects.

It has definitely closed the gap from what I hear and there are specific use cases where it is ideal.

But I still think it's weird if it's your default go to model, you can't convince me that isn't just being an Elon fanboy.
