  • the average package quality is currently closer to that of the AUR than the official repos of other distros.

    Care to elaborate? I don’t remember packages not working, but if anything, they’re not building; which is basically the reverse of what happens at other distributions where sometimes, breakage during building isn’t noticed because the packages aren’t getting rebuilt when a dependency or the compiler toolchain changes.





  • True! My original point though is that just providing a hash for a downloaded file is generally not required. It doesn’t provide anything that other layers haven’t already (a hash only guarantees integrity, while downloading over HTTPS provides authenticity). Personally, I see them as a relic of the past that made more sense when transmission was less robust (though even back then, a lot of layers provided some sort of error detection and correction), and modern filesystems can detect errors as well.






  • Not even in Israel, all Jews agree with how things are handled by the government (and I’m well aware that Israel isn’t all Jews, but also various Arab ethnicities).

    Just because a person is Jewish doesn’t mean they need to justify why they oppose the government of Israel. I’m not pressing Christians here either about whether they oppose the actions of the Trump administration which is heavily influenced by evangelicals. But this is unfortunately where Antisemitism kicks in: it’s the thinking that Jews are a kind of global cabal, and everyone living in diaspora is a kind of agent. So they’re responsible for any bad actions done by Jews anywhere.
