I don't mind people vibe coding Linux utilities, but do you really gotta upload it to the AUR? (programming.dev)

Just an example, one of many. Check the upstream. Four months old. Two contributors: some human and an orange asshole. Human has no other repositories, so I guess the asshole is the more trustworthy one.

I'm assuming this is just some vibe coded bullshit where someone just said yes to everything Claude asked. I'd read the code to confirm it's not malicious but this person has already wasted enough of my time already.

Anyway AUR is not going to survive the Eternal Sloptober.

Exactly. The way I see it, AUR is the Wild West where anything goes. There are good, bad and ugly packages so you better know what you’re doing when installing those.
