I thought the com.flatpak.Appname came from Android, so I guess google is to blame?

/var is really annoying, especially when partitioning, previously I could just have a /var partition, but now I need to do /var/log specifically

I mean doesn't that come from Java naming conventions? Which then makes sense that it continued on Android.... but Why did it end up on FlatPack!?

[-] techognito@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I will speculate to say that maybe someone looked at the java/android way and thought let's just copy that.

It's the most plausible answer I can think of, without doing any research whatsoever

It's a nice way to get around naming collisions.
