Without taking a deep look into the code itself, I direvtly see symptoms of AI usage. Based on recent reports regarding generated code, I would like to ask how much you used that tooling here. Also, why are all checks directly implemented and committed here and not coming from a 3rd aprty repo?

    Because as the article stated they have rejected Rust back in 2024. I can remember that clearly. Back then they gave some few reasons why Rust was not a good fit, i dont remember the details but for me it made an overall impression that they dont like Rust and wont go with it ever. So what a surprise to read that huh!

    At least he saw the light now. Good for him. I think it was obvious that swift would fail outside of Mac, but he had to see it first. Some people will just soldier on down a wrong path, but adapted. That's promising.

    Does this mean it took two full months from the time some obvious "typosquat" packages got added and immediately reported before they were removed? That's for the "finch" ones, looks like they got the others right away. Maybe they were not so obvious?

    Good move, removing some incentive from the security theater industry to exaggerate, or even manufacture, problems then "solving" them, while gaining some free ad space and "credibility" in the process, which is something I already pondered in a previous thread that had a bad smell.

    Dcli looks interesting! The long term goal of supac is to support many different relevant package managers as backends, so that all sorts of packages and language toolchains can be managed. Besides, nushell being a scripting AND shell language massively helps with that.

    Yes, you are right but in a privacy oriented manner (only your IP address is shared nothing else - that also you know you can change it via VPN or proxy), your user agent is random every time you make a request, there is random delay added, etc and also no ads in your search results. Moreover we rerank the results on our side (not the most perfect but contributions can help make us make it better). 😅

    From what I understand (I've never used mise), mise is meant for programming environments and tools. Supac works with your distribution's package manager to manage all your system packages and also language toolchains like rustup and uvx (uvx backend doesn't manage toolchains yet, it's being developed though).

    What it doesn't manage are programming environments, basically, you cannot use it to spawn something like a nix devshell. Hope it makes sense. This is more meant to be along the lines of something like nix, but friendlier and easier.

    I was really hoping this would come with an announcement of an F-Droid compatible client.

    Honestly, I'm paying them and the lack of a Google-less client is really getting to me. Now that the US is openly behaving like an adversary to the EU (as opposed to pretending to be a friend), cutting the cord to the US is becoming more and more important.

    If they don't release an F-Droid compatible client this year, I'm cancelling my subscription and moving to a simple SMTP+IMAP provider. Their reluctance to degoogle has rubbed me the wrong way for years now.

    P.S And the fact that they stay on threads @protonprivacy@threads.net instead of mastodon is also another reason I want to leave.
