Very misleading title. AUR "recipes" are NOT official Arch Linux packages. Basically anyone can upload stuff to the AUR. Users are expected to read and understand the AUR PKGBUILDs before trying to build them.

Sigh. As if I had not enough reasons to hate professional sports ...

Finally, some common sense in this utterly absurd situation. I'm so glad this year's "fútbol" season ends this weekend. AFAIK, they don't break the Internet for Segunda División matches (yet!).

Better an open air museum than a cave of thieves, thank you.

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, mass layoffs is "building for the future".

She might not like it, but manga "piracy" _is_ free promotion, and always has been. Nobody would've ever heard of her manga outside of Japan if not for scanlation. "Piracy" gave her an international fanbase, for free.

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right" (George Orwell, "1984")
