Yeah, thanks. I can open github just fine. I was just curious about what the author thinks. Usually articles on a blog will have more opinions of the author than the repo
Minutephysics did a great job of explaining it in 10 minutes
It also helps me that are apparently IP block banned by a lot of places
I would've asked why arch pre bundles it but then remember other arch based distro exists
Man, it's a shame they block me (probably because of my IP range)
Clearance issue? Weight class? Turning radii?
People wanting to use AUR helper, you're better off using aurutils on aurto than yay or paru. Aurto, even with auto update already remove packages when the maintainer changes because aurto trust models was always to check the maintainer first and not the package itself
There's a reason why we already called it orphaned. The flag already exists. The AUR helper that auto updates stuff is the problem
The problem is the delivery mechanism. Malware is quite rare in linux because we trust the maintainers. Unlike in windows where you're normalized to download executable off of the internet
Edit: What I meant is that notice almost always all of the attack on linux is supply chain based and not direct malware download. Be it via typosquat, package manager repository hijacking, or even long game like xz
More like warnings are plastered all over to not use easy helper and to always check, verify, and trust package carefully. But ohh, that sign can't stop me because I can't read apparently
Honestly I take no issue with the malware attack. I find it more offensive that many publications write it like it's the end of Arch. Like bro, AUR is NOT what I'd recommend to beginners to get their packages from. Some of the obscure packages include browser extension. Like, why would you install an extension from the AUR instead of the browser extension marketplace? This is why easy and braindead AUR helpers need to die. It encourages bad practice
It being categorized as a cycle for the size is the issue I think. Because the German electric cycle that I saw is much smaller than those and they are a tricycle
