I'd hold off making that call on Anthropic here until at least after Friday. I'm not sure if persisting that "constructive dialogue is taking place in good faith" and saying nothing else in public signifies backbone cons

Well that's a bummer. There's a whole generation of barely-if-at-all-maintained but still perfectly working utils that will probably be forever lost to obscurity with that. Recently I wish Debian was more Debian.

You might like Konform Browser. Optional features like that disabled with the nag removed (but local ones can still be enabled in preferences). https://codeberg.org/konform-browser/source

Well I don't use any of those dirty helpers (now THAT'S crazy talk) so the AUR packages mostly get built on a separate schedule (whether fully manually or in CI) from running pacman -S. I think only one or two non-mainline package

Audit the script locally first before running it? How is that unacceptable? If you find that too risque or tedious, fine, don't use it. It can still be valuable for those happy to put in the effort.

That's a good instinct and default. But if you do the process consciously, like OP advices, AUR can be more secure and predictable than alternatives as you build locally from first-party sources. (Same can't be said for COPR or PP

Project pages and the like don't belong on Discord. An appropriate indexer would obviously distinguish between those and actual semi-private chats (where I assume backlash came from). And would probably get shut down after a while anyw

Why don't you build it then? Technically should be trivial. Relevant conversations moving off Discord is what's really needed and where I think effort is better spent though.

Good thing anyone is allowed to make a more user-friendly IRC client so that can be improved on, then. As long as we all follow protocols my choice of client doesnt concern you even as we chat in the same room. IRC does not proscribe any pa

This whole thread was fiction and was missing this: "/s". I don't believe any of what I proposed above would be a good idea. Didn't think it would woosh and couldn't help myself doubling down when (if?) it did

One key insight is that bundles are really sets of packages and that what we're doing when we bundle things is really just set join operations. Imagine the possibilities if we implement arbitrary set operations. So a bunch is defined a

Big fan! Was like magic at first but now I have a big bunch of Aptfiles to deal with instead... Currently working on solving that with the next-generation tool apt-bundle-bunch, which has a simple declarative format to manage your apt-bundl

Can't help you with AV but otherwise your issues and confusions are all Ubuntu and Canonical and nothing on there is representative of other Linux dists. Ubuntu is highly opinionated. Great for some/many people but not the best fi
