No honor amongst thieves

daggermoon@lemmy.world on 06 Aug 09:27 collapse

Who are the thieves in this situation and why is that?

dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net on 04 Aug 15:51 next collapse

The Arch users got sick of all the jokes.

daggermoon@lemmy.world on 06 Aug 09:27 collapse

It wasn’t me

Auli@lemmy.ca on 04 Aug 16:27 next collapse

Is that why their flat pack repo was so slow and failed.

that_leaflet@lemmy.world on 04 Aug 17:21 next collapse

Yes

Flatpacks are toxic, so … that’s a win?

chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world on 05 Aug 15:39 next collapse

Flatpaks are just fine. Fuck off.

Xylight@lemdro.id on 06 Aug 05:32 collapse

Not just flatpaks, same with .deb and .rpm, bloat files. Actually, all packaged binaries suck too, they’re unoptimized. The only decent solution is to compile every binary yourself. Actually, that’s a waste and sucks because what if the developer didn’t code with the oversight of god himself? So we should write the software ourselves in C, because Rust is bloat. But wait, then we’re using a premade compiler, so we just need to write raw x86 machine code (only a bad dev needs 64 bit registers).

Actually, x86 has too many instructions that are pointless which complicates the architecture of the CPU. Do we even need a CPU? What’s the point of half of this system anyway? I don’t need a computer to do the math. I can do it myself. I don’t need programs.

Wait, but even just myself has bloat. You’re telling me that 15-20% of my body is just wasted energy, never to be used? Need to get that down to 0℅. What’s the point of 2 lungs when I can function with 1? Two kidneys? Eyes? Ears? Why do we have duplicates when one works just fine? What’s the point of an appendix or a gallbladder?

Well, it seems that even the human body alone isn’t a bloat free native replacement. So it’s time to ascend beyond the mortal flesh. But even then, we’re confined to 3 dimensions. Stupid sandbox, what’s the point?

Unfortunately I can’t think of any further solutions so it looks like for now I’m gonna be stuck with the oh so terrible flat pack

First Arch and malware in the AUR now a ddos on Fedora. This is an attack on FOSS.

HaraldvonBlauzahn@feddit.org on 06 Aug 04:37 next collapse

Yup, there are attscks. Also ddos on Codeberg and the xz-utils backdoor.

daggermoon@lemmy.world on 06 Aug 09:24 collapse

These are two unrelated events you speak of.

oyzmo@lemmy.world on 05 Aug 04:26 next collapse

Microsoft “blackops” is working overtime…

mugita_sokiovt@discuss.online on 05 Aug 04:56 next collapse

Honestly, IBM deserves to get DDoS’d for their actions. This is because of the push for Wayland, PipeWire, Systemd and some other things they want to shove down our throats.

My producer and I aren’t like that, thankfully.

WereCat@lemmy.world on 05 Aug 07:40 next collapse

Dad, you forgot to take your meds again!

Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 05 Aug 08:51 next collapse

Just use another distro, don’t ddos fedora

mugita_sokiovt@discuss.online on 05 Aug 15:08 collapse

The problem is that we don’t know how to DDoS anything (which is a good problem to have). We already use a different distro, and stay away as best as we can from the above described.

itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 05 Aug 09:05 collapse

Okay grandpa, let’s get you back to bed

Mio@feddit.nu on 06 Aug 09:05 next collapse

What can the users do about it? Maybe it is time to look into more distribution systems instead?

that_leaflet@lemmy.world on 06 Aug 10:44 collapse

It’s resolved now.

daggermoon@lemmy.world on 06 Aug 09:23 collapse

Why not ddos manjaro? It would be funny.
