This is a reminder to everyone to only install from the AUR for absolutely necessary stuff only, and only if you trust the maintainer.

Unfortunately not foolproof either. I have no infected packages that I know of because I happen to be on a new install, but I caught wind of the LAST AUR botnet infiltration and switched to flatpaks or source builds. Since then I drifted back to AUR for convenience. I thought I was being clever only using AUR packages when I could be "sure" the author of the original software package pushed to AUR, and this was easy since devs who build on Arch typically recommend AUR whether they maintain the package or not. Today I found out spoofing package ownership is apparently easy and so is spoofing git credentials.

I was on Endeavour and it was incredible, but I'm not That Power User and I feel like part of the problem. The worst part of all of this is its owing to an influx of users who want the same ease of use they used to enjoy, but in Windows SOP is installing whatever the fuck you want on Internet Explorer and bugging your sysadmin to fix whatever happens. Its probably really hard to be any kind of FOSS developer right now.

If anyone reading this cares, Faugus/UMU for a replacement to Lutris if you're bothered by Lutris using AI in their project.

Asking for advice and expertise is what the internet should be for. Search engines suck now. Why not ask here?

Is this a post just tilting the blame and impetus for escaping closed hardware on the user and nothing else? Because I'll buy a Jolla or a Fairphone when my current phone dies, maybe, if I can afford it. All your post does is position true privacy as a hobbyists niche.

That seems extreme. Could you explain your point of view a bit more? Is it because it seems hes implying (presently non existing) consequences on users or legal comsequences toward init and distro projects?

In Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" the inciting incident is a fly getting caught in a typewriter as a drone types an arrest order for a political dissident, leading the police to raid the wrong house and kill an innocent man. Crazy shit.

Ah so a market upset the rich control the timing for, virtually indistinguishable from a bubble unless you're holding all the cards, amazing analysis by HanK Green.

You missed some updated context; OP messed up, they meant they shop AGAINST the list and see it as a good way to find "woke games" which generally just means games not made by complete assholes.

It would be if Lady Tomoe had actually been in the game

You are in a self-posting community where people "chat", Powderhorn is sharing a candid moment in the "chat" community, that's what.

Boy what a fucking title. "Failed" implies an imperative, "illegal orders video" constructed as if the dems made a video giving orders that themselves are illegal. Don't need. Jesus wept fuck NYT.

I was replying to you but then I went on a whole extended soap box that wasn't all the way directed at you, apologies.The self-censorship is my point.
