You don’t have to be an adult to post malware and hire DDoS botnets

It’s too open and free to have morons like this minister running around spewing bs

In my country literally everyone still uses Facebook and Messenger for that simple reason: everyone they know uses it.

I’ve always been against Discord and I miss the Mumble+IRC days, but Discord is just the default now and it’s not going away

No global keybinds is a huge dealbreaker for me

My homedir is an infernal hellhole of junk accumulated over the past 15 years and I wouldn’t have it any other way

Probably bananas though, according to my middleschool math teacher

And that level is SUN

What data do they share beyond the stuff you told them they can share?

You’re right, that is reasonable

Cats have a completely different language when interacting with humans. They mostly just meow around us

Neither of these were abandoned

Of course it’s his choice, it’s his system.

The general advice is that handpicking updates from main repos is a big no-no. There are only a couple of reasons you would ever need that, like updating archlinux-keyring on a very outdated system.

Even on my 13 year old install with many thousands of packages, it’s not hard to spot if anything is out of the ordinary when doing huge upgrades. You should pay attention.

That being said, I often just do pacman -Syu --noconfirm && poweroff these days. It’s so rare that anything breaks and I can very easily fix it if it does.

If your upgrade says anything out of the ordinary, which it most definitely did here, that should probably trigger something in you. This is the case for any distro.

Same, my desktop PC had Arch installed in 2012 lol

The whole point of the update is to avoid the silly Windows-like mentality of flatpack. It splits the package up so you can choose what you want instead of installing a bunch of crap you won’t ever use. If OP had been awake while doing a full upgrade on his bleeding edge system, he would have noticed.

Yeah I can’t believe he’s been using Arch for 5 years and didn’t even bat an eye over the massive pacman output

When an upgrade spits out that much text, you should bat an eye.
