macOS can be a bit of a permission hell at times, but I’ll take it over having less control over the privacy and security of my system

Isn’t installing from the AUR equivalent to installing from a PPA, in terms of security and trust?
How do they make that illegal?
I can’t find much on tech impeding laws online, whatever search terms I enter related to China and privacy just leads me to articles about their data protection law.
(edit: and their 2017 cybersecurity law)
It’s older than ChatGPT, but maybe this is true for their newer articles.
I also feel HowToGeek used to be great, now it’s just affiliations and misinformation. Shame.
could be some guy in China
I don’t see how that’s a problem, it’s not like it’s by a Chinese run company or like the Chinese government is spying on you; in the case you described it’d just be a rando with a hobby/vision.
The fact that it keeps getting hosted in countries that have freedom problems, such as China and Russia, does concern me, though.
I did not mean it like that, at all.
You leave a comment saying these are special and all the others are more or less the same, but don’t explain how that’s the case.
I am genuinely asking.
(also sorry for posting thrice, internet issues)
How are each of those special? And how are others, inc. Gentoo, almost the same?
First off, the packages and libraries on the AUR are not scanned, and not all packages and libraries are well tested or maintained there, especially when building from their source yourself instead of relying on their releases. The more you install that way and the more depends on it, the more points in your system are likely to fail.
Your distro’s repos might not have everything and be a bit out of date at times, but they are scanned and usually better tested and maintained. Usually, not always.
They do not federate with each other AFAIK, Mastodon’s user base is in another user’s answer, Bluesky’s IDK except apparently one million more than before
Sure, but dari does not address 2/3rds of their answer. Just posting a link makes it seem like it does. You could’ve added that it only addresses Mastodon’s user base from their answer and not Bluesky’s nor wether they can communicate.
To the surprise of no-one!
That does not seem to know about Bluesky
OP, this is satire and most likely will brick your system. Just making sure you, and others, know.
I could’ve sworn… Alright TIL thanks!
I can vouch for this, I’ve used this a lot and I love it!
Firefox on the other end has no intention of deprecating support for MV2
Why would they? They also don’t implement MV2, but their own addon spec. nvm they do
They might still pull a corporate fast one on you, but at least they will apologise profusely over it.
I’ve never seen Nintendo or Sony apologise for it.
I feel like the whole apologising profusely thing is a stereotype about Japanese people, maybe with a core of truth in it, but it doesn’t seem to apply to their corporate culture.
