Yeah, I feel I can. Why do you feel like you can’t?

I feel free choosing my wants. There’s freedom in what you want and whether you’ll do them.
You can also bookmark comments on Lemmy, and copy the comment URL and store that in (synced) browser bookmarks!
Oh, copy the comment text and save it in a text- or markdown-file on your devices, in case it gets taken down! You can even for the text in case you forgot where you kept it!
macOS can be a bit of a permission hell at times, but I’ll take it over having less control over the privacy and security of my system
You have no reason to be using URL shorteners in a marked up link, but thanks for the thought.
What in the clusterfucked Google search is that?
No way I’m clicking on that!
Isn’t installing from the AUR equivalent to installing from a PPA, in terms of security and trust?
How do they make that illegal?
I can’t find much on tech impeding laws online, whatever search terms I enter related to China and privacy just leads me to articles about their data protection law.
It’s older than ChatGPT, but maybe this is true for their newer articles.
I also feel HowToGeek used to be great, now it’s just affiliations and misinformation. Shame.
could be some guy in China
I don’t see how that’s a problem, it’s not like it’s by a Chinese run company or like the Chinese government is spying on you; in the case you described it’d just be a rando with a hobby/vision.
The fact that it keeps getting hosted in countries that have freedom problems, such as China and Russia, does concern me, though.
How would this help anyone? Like, noone just knows what those climates feel like, at all.
Finger rings don’t, either. Not when they’re called that.
I did not mean it like that, at all.
You leave a comment saying these are special and all the others are more or less the same, but don’t explain how that’s the case.
I am genuinely asking.
(also sorry for posting thrice, internet issues)
How are each of those special? And how are others, inc. Gentoo, almost the same?
First off, the packages and libraries on the AUR are not scanned, and not all packages and libraries are well tested or maintained there, especially when building from their source yourself instead of relying on their releases. The more you install that way and the more depends on it, the more points in your system are likely to fail.
Your distro’s repos might not have everything and be a bit out of date at times, but they are scanned and usually better tested and maintained. Usually, not always.
They do not federate with each other AFAIK, Mastodon’s user base is in another user’s answer, Bluesky’s IDK except apparently one million more than before
Sure, but dari does not address 2/3rds of their answer. Just posting a link makes it seem like it does. You could’ve added that it only addresses Mastodon’s user base from their answer and not Bluesky’s nor wether they can communicate.
Good, keep going.
