That is not true, there are plenty of non-FOSS packages in extra/multilib (e.g steam, discord, nvidia). The only criteria is if there is an interested packager to maintain it. >The…

For what it is worth, while I'm sure it is right on target for some, I think that's incorrect model of a mean arch user. Updates are once a month thing for me (and the maintenance …

I don't have it installed, so I can't comment if it requires constant babysitting, but looks pretty okay to me -- it has no AUR-only dependencies (++), one extra shell script (--),…

You are thinking of the alarm fatigue[1], but it doesn't apply here -- there are no constant alerts warning that you are doing something dangerous to the point you get desensitized…

Obviously usages vary greatly, but I doubt it's that of big deal for majority of Arch users (maybe it's different for Arch derived distros). My AUR maintained package count has bee…

Nothing here is "fundamentally broken". Any usage of AUR was always one step above executing random shell scripts from the net, and any official Archlinux guides were explicit abou…

Yeah, on second read, I agree with you that IRC chats are not being impersonated. It posted a link (in the PR discussion presumably) to a website where it compiled the report of it…

TBH, I feel that is implausible that an agent would by itself decide to join the IRC and post those messages. My bet is that all of the IRC interactions (including the presumed rea…

In the given list of GNU CVEs in the original article, it included a buffer overrun in tail from 2021. So for a fair comparison 2021 is part of the "window of activity" (the year u…

With your analogy I would be the one saying that I'm still not convinced that skis are faster than snowshoes. I still use ChatGPT/Claude/Llama daily for both code generation and ot…

Friends don't let friends export to CSV [for my specific use case]

Huh, my recollection is the exact opposite. I remember the good old days when I could use inurl: link: and explore the website contents fully and drill down further if necessary, c…

But aren't you afraid that whenever you veer discussion from Wikipedia/stackoverflow type explanations it's likely lying to you? This was my general experience -- it's great at que…

Not to mention that self sabotaging your good work habits is counter-productive. You may think that you are getting one over them, but it's just as likely that after a few months o…

I think the GP is a bit confused and mixed Lithuania up with its neighbors. Lithuania, unlike its neighbors Estonia and Latvia, gave citizenship automatically to everyone residing …

In case you'll get an itch to play IF games, and don't know which one to choose. Picking at random from this list of top 50 as voted by community, never failed me so far: https://i…

If you see a devlog post from Lucas Pope you know it's going to be a goldmine. No matter the topic. Dude has a real knack in writing these, clearly describing the problem and the t…
