OK wow... That sounds promising.

Now they just need to switch colors in the graph :)

It's as safe as it always was and will be...

The concept of AUR is that you run other persons scripts on your device. That is by definition a very insecure thing to do.

How does anyone come to the idea to built a tool to be used in a federated context and hardcode into it which instances are not allowed to be used with it?

However, this is just one person. Maybe the Dev did not expected anyone else to use it and just but the blacklist into it for personal reasons...

At first I thought it would be a Beetle or something.

Forking is easy. Maintaining the fork is the hard part.

Great, I hope you have success.

Random story from my youth:

Around 2006 when I was in Training as an IT specialist and when LAN parties were still a thing, the boys in my class had to much fun playing a rip-off version called "bombeerman". Instead of bombs you would place beer barrels that explode in a foam fontaine...

Anyway, the game was written in Java and I discovered, that the sprites can be replaced by any image with the same resolution. So I made versions with Mario, Link, Samus and co. Making it one of the first personal experiences with moding for me.

I have no idea why I remember about this now :D

I don't get this... Why do people pre order AAA games? It's like begging for disappointment.

If the question is really about "can", than the answer is definitely yes.

If it's about if you should, than it's a clear no. Because storing data in a GitHub Project is not the use case. Nothing in the protocols or the platform itself is optimized for that. Also GitHub could just pull the plug of your project if they ever feel that it is against their terms.

Apparently, there is even a movie about this joke... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/404_(film)

ok so it's the classic compfort vs. security... kind of.

Oh boy... now I discovered that Sarah Connor once fall in love with a Kilrathi. The 80s/90s where a interesting time.
