I wish AppImage was slightly more user friendly and did not require the user to specifically make it executable.


We fix this issue by distributing ours in a tar file with the executable bit set. Linux novices can just double click on the tar to exact it and double click again on the actual appimage.

Been doing it this way for years now, so it's well battle tested.


That kind of defeats the point of an AppImage though - you could just as well have a tar archive with a c classic collection of binaries + optional launcher script.


A single file is much better to manage on the eyes than a whole bunch of them, plus AppImages can be installed into the desktop using integration.

Tell me another joke..


Here's one: How successful was the combined efforts of politicians + 3-letter agencies + universities, at banning computer encryption in the past? Not successful at all, hahaha.


Banning encryption proved infeasible, so they just switched to programs like PRISM instead. That was very successful.


Let me explain a bit further:governments lost the battle to ban code. Since then, no code can really get banned. And, nowadays we have vetted p2p VPNs even if all world govs try to ban vpn companies, and no prism or quantum computing programs can bypass their post-quantum e2e implementation.


Code is already banned by anti-circumvention laws.¹ I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard, legislatively, to have VPNs classified as a tool for circumventing "digital locks."

Loved this article, funnily enough I wrote something in a similar vein, due to my frustrations with nonsense requirements, yesterday: https://gilli.is/journal/the-best-designers-know-nothing-abo...
