You could check your systemd logs with sudo journalctl > logs.txt Search that file for your application name.

Otherwise try running the application from terminal, and view any logs that output.

flatpak run {app name}

You might need to add options for logging.

My guess is it’s missing some gtk assets.

No.

Working as a software developer, creating software is a team effort. The developer doesn’t necessarily come up with the requirements. The business is the driver of what the software becomes. You would have to account for the product team as well. What percentage would go to whom?

How would you quantify usage? Number of API requests? Number of downloads? What if the app is only run locally. Are you going to phone home every time the data parser is fired up and charge users on a per row of data processed basis?

What about features being disabled or removed? Refactored by another dev? Now you are talking about algorithms to monitor source control to track who receives residuals. Sounds like a mess.

Sounds like an entire governing body would need to be in charge of how to track residuals. More bureaucracy is bad.

Someone else mentioned responsibility for code after you have left a company. I think one of the most relieving things about getting a new job is the mess of systems you leave behind (only to walk into a new mess).

I’ve signed a contract with every employer I have worked for that states what I work on is their IP. Employees should go in knowing that.

Another issue is fair pay. Ideally everyone would be payed fairly for their work. In the U.S., software engineers are known for being compensated well, so I don’t think that is an issue.

To tie this back to the current situation with writers, a precedent has been set in that industry, where residuals are expected. I do believe there is creativity in software development, but the extent of that is on a person to person basis. Many people write convoluted code their entire careers, which simply gets the job done. Often times creating more work than they realize when it comes time to extend.

This concept also seems to go against those most vociferous pioneers of the industry who advocate for free and open source software? Torvalds, Stallman, Jimmy Wales etc…

I saw something similar to this on an intel Mac running canary years back. I believe toggling GPU acceleration in the settings resolved the issue.

I have two PS4 controllers. One which came with the console in 2014. They both still work like new. Bluetooth works on iPhone and Windows flawlessly.

Just get the Pixel 8. Sometimes you have to pay a premium. A bird in the hand is better than a bird in the bush (a used phone you will have to find).
