it’s bypassing the normal place to download (in the PKGBUILD) and doing so in a place that’s unsandboxed instead (in the .install file, not the PKGBUILD) when it didn’t need to do that before

that is indeed the official guides’ fault if they’re not in charge of helping maintain the AUR package. not the case for most of the infected packages here other than notably alvr, though.

windows update doesn’t force you to take a look at the changelog. most AUR helpers do so you better bet that it’s important

it’s a mailing list, so heads up, if you subscribe you’re also gonna get other discussion like the forums.

since the 2022 grub incident, Arch has done a great job at notifying the news channel when “manual intervention required” AFAIK, and I don’t remember any instances of Arch maintainers only notifying Reddit (and I don’t think they notified Reddit for the grub incident either lol).

the arch news channel is for breaking changes to arch pacakges (so not the AUR) only. maybe you could subscribe to aur-general@lists.archlinux.org.

(hopefully this doesn’t read as blaming the victims instead of the attackers but) I personally don’t think it’s that complicated to read the updates to AUR packages. It’s not any more hard than only commenting after reading the links that people post here instead of just the headlines—which we all do, right?

there’s some commags like !longreads@sh.itjust.works and !longformindepth@lemmy.world you might be interested in

i meant the guardian newsletter lol

fellow bisexual newsletter subscriber!!

yeah…

well to be fair, unruffled hasn’t answered mine either

but rimu’s a bit of a surprise to me, probably since i’ve never really “known” (seen) them much before other than “python dev, of piefed, making a third popular activitypub threadiverse client with lots of ambitious features”

still, i think some of the things directed that way in this thread are quite unfair

i’m interested in seeing graphs of only bans (preferably just sitebans, but if that’s not possible all their bans would be fine) by admins. commag moderation style has a lot more leeway

yeah that’s exactly why i don’t think the attitude score helps

that’s how it is by default for some reason. i haven’t added to me dictionary either and that’s how it shows in libreoffice calc. it seems like it just doesn’t squiggly any “word” with numbers in it.

flippant antagonism is the worst thing against discourse on the fediverse and we can do our part

i disagree

and note that I opposed the defederation, yet i still disagree

i don’t see how that has bearing on what i said lol. i argued about not creating many new communities and not closing inactive communities. the last new community i heard of were the two or three replacements for feddit, and just the 41st top community (41st since I estimate the photon pager has 40 items per page by default, and i clicked the top of page 2) has not have posts in over a month, let alone mod actions.

i’d say it’s more accusations of being a troll overall—original post is https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/67198913

as devil’s advocate i don’t think account karma should be a factor. downvotes would only be an extension of how exclusionary the instance is. dbzer0’s moderation is quite democratic, after all
