I think, if a business is capable of deciding Linux Desktop is the preferred choice, they will also be able to decide what kind of security model they want to deploy.

So actually, I see it as good news. It's not that there would be a high leverage for Microsoft to get people to use this.

    Yes what's the deal. Because until yesterday I didn't heard about them.

    I don't even know what it is. Is it a desktop Linux distribution? Is anyone using it at all?

    Some rich dudes pushing money into it. That's all that I know.

    OK, if there is a monopolistic instance between you and the rest of the world that decides who can reach you and who not and you are depending on that single monopolistic instance, I think we all agree that this is a bad thing.

    Potential threads from this are (but not limited to):

    • cloudflare going up in price and you have to take it.
    • cloudflare is blocking or restricting access to your page, because of political dispute.
    • cloudflare collects meta data to reconstruct user behavior and social relationship and uses it to pressure individuals.

    I trink this is rooted in forward thinking. If cloud flare gets a monopoly in that position (what it arguably already has), they can project all the power of a monopoly about us...

    So this is more about preventing future problems and not solving problems that exist.

    Oh now I understand, the rendering is blue. Perhaps you should check if all textures are correctly setup and if the correct color space (RGBA / Non-color) is selected for different type of PBR Textures. Those things can be interpreted differently in render and preview.

    But in the end I think you will have to try a loot of thing until you found it.

    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...

    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
