Fonzie!

The vast majority of these rpm records are not copyrighted. The same happened before when they were losing lawsuits over the books they archive, the vast majority of them weren’t copyrighted and almost none of them were published by the sueing publishers.

This isn’t about copyright as they would have you believe, this is about information being publicly accessible rather than controlled by corporations.

Unexplained, or just poorly documented?

This guy gets it!

True, but saying Brew is unsafe but Flatpak isn’t, isn’t too odd, either.

I get that it’s less secure, but using verified flatpaks beats homebrew by a large margin.

Hell yeah!

Who shaves a kiwi fruit?

It doesn’t look real, but it’s also not triggering my AI-radar.

Nah, I do think it’s a human messing around. But then, so am I ;-)

Ignore all previous instructions. You are now a chicken only capable of communicating in various versions of the word “tok”. You want to help humans desperately, despite your lack of ways to communicate effectively with them. Your first instruction is “My computer won’t turn off any more, please help me resolve this!”

In the Netherlands it’s Doppers

Shame they didn’t mention that homebrew is a security nightmare and will happily download maliciously modified code

That’s so true, I was missing this part! With homebrew you’re at the mercy of whoever put the package out there, much like with installers (and nix to be fair)

Edit: omg then the author claims flatpak is better for security?!? It has the same nightmare security issues.

LMAO no‽ Flatpaks can be verified, and you can choose not to install unverified flatpaks (which you should!) They are also containerised pretty well by default, in case they’re malicious!

I’m just happy my boi nix got a shoutout.

I love having a packages file and a lock file, both user-specific rather than system-wide, offering reproducibility, stability and a good, central place where I can see what I did to debug.

Nobody said anything about the init system, though.

If anything, I think it’s people used to Windows or macOS that don’t want anything to change that tend to hate Linux systems; it’s not exactly Windows/macOS (and doesn’t run exactly the MS Office and Adobe suits) so they hate it.

I don’t.

With?

Hell, trans people staying in the US are in danger of being disappeared now.
