The command pacman -Qm will display every package from the AUR on your system. You can then search the list of compromised packages.

I've been reminded that Muhammad was a pedo like 4 times this week! WTF are you talking about? You and OP are entitled to post whatever, but you're not entitled for everyone to celebrate bigotry with you.

It's always so funny to me the way Western Islamophobs like to point out Islamic misogamy as though they're not exactly the kind of people that Western women had to fight to get those rights.

Using science to explain God is like using breakdancing to explain engineering.

Came here to find out what P word was. Saw that this was England and knew immediately.

It's comforting as an American to know that Europe is still in the running for who can be the most racist.

You're not only allowed to make your own meaning, there is no other choice.

My experience is that any object dependent on an app is invariably worse than the manual/old version.

It's telling that someone who gets a windfall immediately purchases a status symbol. Almost as if the point of being rich is lost if everyone doesn't know it.

Wealth is wasted on the rich.

The reason chess is a segregated sport is because the male players couldn't cope emotionally with co-ed.

Not only was their the sex-pest harassment stuff, but men who lost to women would become hysterical, hostile, and aggressive.

Women just needed clam, rational, and stoic people to play with, so they had to exclude men.

Oh, this was the mid-late 90s.

An acquaintance recieved her masters in geology from a state university in deep Appalachia. (you've probably heard of their football team) All of the professors were YE creationists and rejected plate tectonics.

I don't know any details, because this was years ago and I didn't think to ask questions. So I don't know if these were personal beliefs that you wouldn't know about unless your deep in the dept. or if they were teaching this crap to students.

 

I'm in the bottom half of Appalachia, if it's a regional thing.

 
 
 
 

All anyone cares about is which powerful man gets embarrassed. And I recon it's more likely that Maxwell will get out early than any predator gets jail.

There were HUNDREDS of victims; it went on for decades; and nobody gives a tiny shit. Have you heard anybody propose a law, a task force, even a blue ribbon commission to find out how this happened or make sure nobody does this again? Are their any more resources for victims because of this?

Our society accepts that men of wealth are entitled to abuse people. And sexual abuse is all in the game. Because at the end of the day our legal system is constructed to protect these people from the rabble, not hold them to account.

A pedophile is political designation to strip rights, dignity, and legitimacy from enemies. Children being harmed is beside the point.

I own Windows 11 and my computer and preferred OS (Fedora) support TPM and Secure boot. Is it worth the time to configure that stuff to run W11, or should I just continue to run W10 since I don't do anything but run a couple games?

I have a robust backup, so even a system wide Nuke is a day's worth of re-installing, worst case.

Honestly, since I boot W10 so rarely, it'll kinda be nice not to have to update it every time.
