You really only upload a manifest and probably a few scripts. Most often AUR packages are just calling out to download external binaries etc

It's just a pause until they get to their alpha deadline. Hard to do that when you can't quickly validate all the drive by llm contributions

This looks cool!

A fun thought experiment would be figuring how to achieve something similar using eBPF to get better control at the kernel level

New comment by kingwill101 in "Don't Support the Coreboot Project"

"We never received a quote for the actual porting, but they said the evaluation cost is typically 10% of the total cost, which would mean the porting would have cost around $33,000 for Dasharo-branded coreboot, and $66,000 for unbranded coreboot. Even their highly discounted Dasharo-branded porting comes out to around $250 to $330 an hour, and that’s if they started from scratch. We had 80%+ of the job already complete. We just needed to debug our code."

How can you be champion of open source if you employ such practices? Double the cost?

While it is definitely a legitimate issue. The recent anti Telegram rhetoric i see here on hacker news and other places seem to pretend that everything listed does not happen on all the other big tech platforms. Pretending it is any harder to achieve the same results

kingwill101 — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 18:50:52 +0000

The fact that *insert American tech company * is still allowed to run amok when the *insert 3 letter agency* has their hands all over it and openly flaunts it is the greatest irony and crime here

kingwill101 — Tue, 30 Jan 2024 15:05:31 +0000

The irony here is that it's not been done by China or Russia. Why does it seem there's much less outrage if any when it's been done my local agencies?

And how does that negate Boeing's maintenance woes?

Interestingly prime video had technically always had ads. An ad for other prime video content always plays before the start of anything

I had the same thought . Maybe the title should be updated to better reflect this

Thank you! As a musician I often complain about having to dual boot to get access to all the really good plugins. Mostly due to me not knowing where to find decent enough plugins without having to rely on hacky workarounds using wine

I always find it strange that Aljazeera gets so much hate. Their English coverage over the years IMO has been mostly unbiased and really stellar.
