Huh. That’s a weird glitch.

Do you prefer X11 or X4?

Notice how the developer argues he forbids packages and how the AIR is in violation of this? But an AUR PKGBUILD is not a package - it’s build instructions. It doesn’t distribute or package anything, you can check it yourself. It’s not called “PKG” for a reason. He misunderstands his own license and believes the allegedly broken PKGBUILD violates it.

He may be right about some users annoying him with bug reports though I’d be surprised if it was that common. It seems like he got a couple of reports, noticed the “forbidden” PKGBUILD and then reacted like this. Just like when changing the license from GPL to CC-BY-NC-ND in order to combat… GPL violations and trademark infringements?

Frankly, the project has not had parricularly stable leadership in a while. Though a bit unfair of a comparison, compare it to Dolphin and you can see a night and day difference in project management.

Location sharing doesn’t prevent any of that though?

Like, no criminal who would want to rape/murder/abduct you knows whether you are sharing your location with anyone. They would do so regardless before anyone can arrive to help you.

Also, no kidnapper on this planet is stupid enough to take your phone with them. You have a slightly higher chance for authorities to be alerted sooner but that’s about it.

Refusal to make a “political” statement is very much political when the politics in question is about acknowledging non-men exist. There is no politically neutral choice when there are two options who are both political.

paru is written in Rust, yay in Go.

That’s pretty much the only difference. Since Rust is objectively superior to Go (I have never worked with either language so my opinion is as unbiased as can be) paru is clearly better.

How do you install kindness and affection? They’re not on the AUR:

[[email protected] ~]$ paru -S kindness affection
:: Resolving dependencies...
error: could not find all required packages:
    kindness (target)
    affection (target)

I have, somehow, found love packaged though. But it’s not true love. It’s LÖVE (a 2d game engine) spelled with an ASCII typeset so I’m pretty sure I have installed the wrong dependency.

Over here in Germany encryption is most definitely illegal. This includes encoded messages only the intended recipient could decode.

The RSS feed of Webtoons is junk. It purposely cuts off the images halfway.

USB-C requires a lot of space for charging, data transfer etc.

Let’s remove it too and make phones rely on wireless charging instead.

AI literally produces better answers than 99% of ad supported, SEOptimized websites.

That’s saying not a lot about AI though. It tells you how utterly awful searching the web is thanks to those sites.

which can also be gotten literally anywhere other than work

Can it? For absolutely everyone, regardless of (mental) health? No one benefits from being monetarily pressured to interact with people even if the interaction is only surface level?

I don’t know how a cow looks like directly from the front though. How would you even imagine that??

That’s great and all but why bring up your favorite chewing gum flavor?

I don’t see an issue with OP bragging a little. It is difficult and time-consuming to install Gentoo for the first time. “😑” did a good job and should be proud of themselves for completing it!

Honestly, it does sound a bit like a hardware defect somewhere. Usually everything should work OOTB unless you are doing something really specific.

If you haven’t already done so, try updating the BIOS.

You mentioned the RAM being fine - have you run Memtest86+ for several hours? One pass is usually not enough to rule out memory malfunctions.

If you have a spare drive, try installing Linux Mint on it. If it still crashes, you can rule out Windows (and if it doesn’t, you could install a clean Windows on that same drive and try again).

You could also purchase a cheap AM4 motherboard (they start at like 60 bucks) to check if the issues still occur and refund it within the return window.
