have you considered fucking not?

The script in the top post of this thread does a better job, since it actually checks when you have upgraded the affected packages: https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/aur-compromised-1500-packages-affected-20260611/31040

There’s also an even more thorough https://github.com/lenucksi/aur-malware-check

It’s not. And its not supposed to be. Its to fund the development of the browser.

“Deal with worse UX or pay us to develop more crap” is not a good way to entice “voluntary” donations. Though I guess they know their audience is full of copium anyway, maybe it is an effective way at least, we’ll see.

Would you like to know or were just just wanting to be contrarian?

Funny you should say that, usually when I check tech threads - somehow you’re always there being downvoted to all hell for writing something edgy in a very pedantic (i.e. obnoxious) way. Including this thread. You could have just listed the damn features twice already when prompted about them, but you’re actively choosing to continue bullshitting as though you’re on twitter and farming for clout. I think I’ll just block you now.

I did not say otherwise.

I think everyone should be held to the same standard. We can yell at Firefox a bit less. We should yell at Brave a lot more.

I don’t know what you’re on about. There is no keylogger and I don’t have any issues with the engine unless it’s some weird ass “chrome experiments” style website which I couldn’t care less about.

Most browsers don’t allow you to easily toggle on and off certain privacy features on a per-site basis

I don’t know what “certain features” are. LibreWolf lets me easily enable WebGL on per-site basis and uBlock could always do that anyway. I don’t need to touch anything else.

Origin is free on Linux.

Yes, and you can also toggle everything off via config. That does not matter, it’s still a scummy move that should be ridiculed. How, exactly, is a dashboard that toggles some settings on or off is worth 60 dollars? It’s not “paying for convenience” it’s a tax on tech incompetency.

No, talking about semicolons and tabs and spaces for the umpteenth time is not how we build real skills, and you shouldn’t waste your time “thinking” about it. You should run a linter that will format it for you and you should choose formatting rules that everyone working on the codebase in the future would be mostly OK with. Splitting hairs about when to insert a semicolon ain’t it.

Yet people keep recommending products by this scummy company and pile on Firefox for slightest missteps.

oh ffs. this is rage/engagement farming to get internet clout from the reactionary anti-ai hivemind. I’m not a fan of it either, but can yall handle a bit of nuance?

the project is almost 30 years old. it might be older than the topic starter. it’s the original maintainer at the helm. he probably has more experience maintaining this tool you all depend on (for free) than most of the complainers have in total. stop posting some fucking mastodon screenshot and pretending this is the first regression and/or issue rsync had in 30 years https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/rsync.

contribute instead of whining. no, forking the old version, changing the readme and making a post on socials to abandon it later doesn’t count.

If you don’t trust the guy who “literally invented rsync in 1996” to do right by his project which he has been doing quite all right with for the past 28 years, then I don’t know how to help you. I’d like to put forward an insane idea that he might know what he’s doing and is not vibecoding with a blindfold on and a beer in his hand.

yes

You literally can keep everything local, encrypted and air-gapped, without it ever seeing outside world.

OK, but I cannot trust the gov to not make it illegal for the average person to use real encryption (even on one’s own hardware)

A law like that would be unenforceable. Nobody knows what’s running in your closet save for police raiding your house (at which time they would also gain access to your physical photos)

wdym “borderline”

Normally - yes, but in this case it reads as “you can guess exactly how it went”

That final boss in Anachronox straight up sucks. I don’t remember if I cheated or gave up and watched the ending on YouTube

same to you!

1. Yes and it all does not matter in the slightest for discussing if a language is a right choice for something like Piefed. Not that there’s much to engage with in the original post - I almost regret leaving a comment on a post like this, but I feel this may be a learning for some.
2. There is zero significance in it being supported in “that” way. There used to be a Go-specific runtime (before there were OS runtimes), but they have dropped it because it made no sense once OS runtimes appeared. If you use TS you likely already have a build step somewhere before deployment unless your function is dead simple (which admittedly it should be, but rarely is). Might as well compile a binary, it’s not that complicated. And yes, using a compiled language like go (or C, yes) may absolutely be the correct choice depending on what you need - if it’s in a hot path which serves a lot of traffic then it may lead to much better warm up times and better throughput, as there isn’t a whole runtime to boot and script to interpret like there would be with Node and/or Python (let’s not talk about Java). I’m simplifying a bit, but hope that helps.

I’m just making a case of how not obsolete python is.

There’s no need to do that, it’s self-evident and the original post does not deserve a second of anyone’s time.

Guess what is and what isn’t used in serverless functions, Lambda doesn’t even support Go ffs. It’s java, ruby, node and python. And from those most use node or python.

I assume that this isn’t bait, so I’ll answer.

1. It doesn’t matter what Lambda supports
2. There isn’t a dedicated runtime for Go because it doesn’t need a runtime. It will work on OS-only runtime like any other language that gets compiled down to a binary: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/runtimes-provided.html
