The vast majority of the AUR is package some random person added once then never bothered with ever again.
Yes, that sucks. But I was thinking of exclusively this packages: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?submit=Orphans
Somewhere between Linux woes, gaming, open source, 3D printing, recreational coding, and occasional ranting.

[Changing a package’s name] would break all dependencies of this package.
Yes, that is correct. But that should not be a big deal for packages that are actively maintained. The maintainer can simply change the dependency to the new name after making sure the new package is legit.


The problem is the current implementation
Yes, exactly this! I am not surprised it happens. I’m surprised it didn’t happen before.
especially new accounts
Weren’t there “sleeper accounts” registered years ago that became active in the current wave?
Also the AUR helpers should do a better job.
Even experienced people will just update as if nothing could happen. Adopted packages should have to use a different name and the current name being blocked so it WILL get attention when some tries to update their system.


Adoptions are a mistake anyways. Remove unmaintained packages and block the name for several months.


Good decision. Ubuntu is a highly complex and specific all-in-one distribution never meant for customization.
Labwc allows for all kinds of menus on root. You can freely define a menu and open it on a click action.


But no extra tools needed on either side.


Between Android phones or Android->Windows Quick Share exists. Between all other devices Bluetooth can be used for sharing.


The company’s website is currently collecting email signups for early-bird pricing. Pricing has not been announced. Neither have display resolution, exact dimensions, weight, or the availability of expansion ports.
So all we know is that some company wants to sell something at some point in the future.
There is literally and figuratively no reason to not use Neovim for both.
No, I use Neovim. But this I use 100% of the time.


A few years ago I’d say Vim but nowadays it’s Neovim for me.


GitHub is not acceptable for new projects since June 4, 2018.
It’s already hard to find an actually fully working Linux phone that is even close to being a daily driver.
You can also replace individual components. It’s basically a bunch of binaries using an API.
The main problem is that people don’t understand that it is NOT “just an init system”


Ever heard of parents? It’s not the job of the OS or the browserto monitor and control a kids internet access.
In most jurisdictions you need to be an adult to legally get an Internet access.
So people using the Internet are either adults or under the supervision of adults.


The browsers sooner or later will always respond “18+” and do not ask the OS.
THIS is misleading, though.
There are definitely more than just 69 users who uploaded packages to the AUR.
