I like the aur wrappers for the convenience, but if I've already limited my AUR consumption quite a bit, I think from now on all aur updates will be manual.

One thing programs like yay could do though is to tie the packages to the maintainer. If the maintainer changes, it should be treated as a completely separate package. Not a perfect solution, but could avoid a few automatic upgrades.


I think it is simpler than that. For a lot of people he's the one who "created the AI"* so he is the reason they have been fired.

That's it, I don't think much of the rest has any weight outside internet forums like this one.

*I've seen people using copilot and calling it "chatgpt".


The issue I see here is: what counts as social media? Is this site social media? Will anything with a comment box be banned? If yes, what about online newspapers? If not, how will they prevent almost-social-media sites from popping up?

How will they deal with mastodon? If I have an instance in my home server at home, do I need to check people reading my posts are over 16 or is the onus on the servers where they are logged in?

For the record, I'm totally in favour of banning social media for kids and, contrary to other people here, I think it can be done without deanonymising anyone. I just don't think it is possible. Ban facebook, x, and bluesky and tomorrow all the cool kids will be using facemagazine, y, and greensky.


I agree. This is the first time I regret updating macOs.

I hoped the .1 or .2 would fix things, but I'm still seeing glitches and even random freezes.

Microsoft is a disaster right now, but if the new intel processor can compete on battery life with mac I might go back to linux.

Unfortunately Intel is cutting down their Linux involvement so I wouldn't have high hopes for it. Newer AMD laptops are probably on par with Intel on Linux now.


It's a pity Lenovo isn't doing Linux support for their Snapdragon laptops. I'd switch.


I find the "censorship" frame funny. This is happening because certain countries in Europe are governed by soccer oligarchs instead of big tech.

Choose your poison, I guess.


Fortunately I can ignore soccer, big tech however, not so much.


I'm in the same boat. Although I would also be willing to go back to Apple if they release a truly small phone. But I'm forced to carry one of these gigantic beasts I want to be able to take (handwritten) notes with it.


As far as I know it is only EU. Both UK and Switzerland have some operators that roam and some that do not. fwiw, fastweb in Italy provides roaming in both and has a very generous fair usage policy.


I'd be fine with a warning. You can just dismiss it and continue doing your thing.

It is a bit more convoluted in macOS now but still something quick.

What Google is saying is that I need to install adb, search for a cable, connect it and _then_ run the cli command. It is very different, not even close.


Warnings don't work. Scammers will tell you please do the needful and dismiss the warning, and grandma will obey. UAC on Windows was instructive: it only served to desensitize people to warning dialogs. Microsoft is moving toward the industry best practice in this regard by setting Windows Defender to quarantine unsigned code automatically.


iirc, part of the problem is that the main ISP (Movistar) is also a football rightholder (Movistar +). So they have decided that blocking cloudflare is profitable for them.


Definitely part of the problem. A clear antitrust issue.
