That's a matter of repository policy, but yes, Flathub (by far the largest and most popular repository) allows for this. I believe that they generally put a disclaimer that it's no…

Erlang's VM runs a scheduler on top of a number of OS threads. If an actor blocks, that actor won't be scheduled to run until the blocking call is finished, but you won't consume a…
