Disappointing, but not surprising. The performance of the browser is not an issue on my side. These are just synthetic benchmarks, so not very interesting to me. I wonder if one can “feel” (not just measure) the difference of performance when using both browsers. I don’t use Chrome and probably never will, so cannot compare.
No, that is not what it was about. I know, don’t run sudo yay, but rather just yay and wait for password request. What it was is about a configuration to not ask password anymore, a passwordless package manger.
Hey, I didn’t meant this to be removed or anything; was just sharing my personal opinion. Everyone can do whatever they want, as long as they are aware of consequences and get teached about it. I’m just a bit paranoid, that’s all.
I don’t feel safe doing so. Would a script be able to run escalated rights without asking me a password? Is it somewhere displayed that such a process is started (notification in example or at least in the terminal a message?). And even for applications I am directly starting, I want it be explicit to require a password, that I am always aware its escalated root rights the app has now.
I can understand your view of convenience and I am “guilty” of some convenience stuff too. But this goes a bit too far for my taste.
You mean you have a package manager for your system without a password? Why would anyone want that?
Edit: For context. The part I was replying to was edited out.
I sometimes prefer Flatpak over AUR, because I do not trust everyone on the AUR to run scripts with root rights on my system. At least Flatpaks are a bit sandboxed (even if the sandbox is an illusion) and the programs don’t install and run with root rights. Sometimes the Flatpak is from the original developer and the script in AUR is not. Or the AUR script is not updated well and often enough, unlike day one Flatpak updates. But Flatpaks do not integrate well in your system and applications can look out of place too. There is a lot to consider, besides what you already mentioned.
I use both, prefer the AUR in optimal cases.
Why do you have both paru AND yay installed at the same time? As someone who likes Rust, I maybe should have switched to paru too. But I just can’t justify the change, because yay comes preinstalled and works just fine, and paru seems to not offer anything worthwhile the change.
I use yay, as it comes by default with EndeavourOS. It’s basically an AUR helper that uses pacman and works quite the same.
Flatpak is a different package manager and has nothing to do with your system packages. They are not exclusive, I use both. So what you basically asking isn’t which package manager people use, but rather which package format.
But types do not exist at runtime of a TypeScript application.
I love Gruvbox. My favorite color scheme. If its not, its probably derived version of Gruvbox. My current one is different, simply because I wanted to have a different scheme after years of same.
Linux is the only sanctuary left
Acktually there is still some Free and Open Source BSD variants. And for the lols we also have GNU Hurd. So even a world without Linux, does not mean we have to use Windows. (I don’t even count MacOS.)
I agree with you. The only thing I could see “Linux being a trap” would be, for people who expect Windows replacement without the Microsoft bullshit. So in one way this “could” be interpreted as a trap for those. But that is if I try to stretch it to justify calling it a trap.
What people don’t realize is, that every year is the Year of Linux Desktop. We just beat the previous year. It’s like having a new world record every year.
Congratz on liberating your computer and yourself.
Just a little advice on using the AUR: It is an user driven repository of software, meaning anyone can upload stuff to it. Usually you are adviced to read the AUR script before installing it (most don’t, especially newcomers). So you should be very careful and only install from trusted AUR scripts. Maybe install from Flatpak instead from AUR if you can, but that depends on many factors.
Maybe I should not have said it in the way I did. I should have said “usually people switch…”. From what I see, performance is not the main attraction for “most” people who changes it. I wonder how much of difference it makes and how people measure it.
I personally don’t think this service as a license changing of an existing project. If it reads and implements the same thing from scratch, then its a new implementation with a new license. I see it similar to how reverse engineering is done in example. And with the approach of two different agents I think this is okay, as it is a new implementation. I mean this is something humans could do themselves too. The only thing is, can they actually proof that both agents aren’t trained on the data they are reading and re-implementing it again (for the clean room implementation)?
The biggest problem to me is, using Ai tools in general, because of what and how they are trained on. But that is a different topic for another day.
That is speculation. And as said, its not the decision of systemd to implement that, it is a decision of the operating system / distribution. I live outside the areas of those laws. What the next logical step is, is open to interpretation and that is not what I am discussing here.
The developers of systemd said they will never support that, so I think its safe for now. Also why do you think systemd would “require” a government id check? systemd is just providing the functionality; it is the distribution / operating system that implements all the functionality. So if an operating system does implement it, I might find a different operating system, regardless of if it uses systemd or not. That is true for any other component too, not just systemd.
What is “The Year of the Linux Desktop” exactly? How do we measure this exactly and what does that even mean? (I use that phrase for memes usually.)
