    Their devs constantly make mistakes that harm the ecosystem, they suggest poor practices, and are generally incompetent.

    They ddosed the aur twice the second time the exact same way as the first. No solution was put into place to fix the root cause and it caused a major issue. They didn’t learn.

    The lead arm Dev pushed an update to Asahi (trusted, due to their position) that broke the system for half of the users (those using xorg) showing the dev didn’t test it on xorg at all. The problem? They upped a version for a dependency which had nothing to do with their code. The issue was documented. This dev, their lead arm dev, didn’t check the docs before upoing the version. Didn’t test at all either. This is a lead dev. That’s their standard

    Before asahi was released they claimed manjaro worked on the m1 macbooks with a marketing page and all shipping a random dev version of the Asahi kernal known to not even boot. This was lucky as if it could, the build had a chance to break the computer. What did they do this? Who knows.

    They forgot to update their SSL certs 5 times telling people to change their system clocks the first time. You can automate SSL cert renewal by the way. It’s easy and takes at max twenty minutes if it’s not cooperating and you’ll never have to worry again. This shows, again, they’re not competant and don’t learn from their mistakes.

    They suggested, and strongly defended, using sudo pacman -Syyu which forces a database refresh for every install. This is not likely ever needed unless something fucks up bad and puts unnecessary stress on the repos.

    A lot more too but I’m sleepy. I rarely say a distro is a bad choice but manjaro is the strongest exception for me. You can’t trust their devs. Of course the entire AUR and update issue but that’s hit or miss on whether it effects you

    If you want a semi rolling release like manjaro I’d suggest OpenSuse tumbleweed. Same release idea but with consistantly competant devs.

    Manjaro is a wet fart. I don’t want them sitting in my lap man

















  • Normally I’d say fuck Nintendo but palworld obviously stole the designs and artistic direction for many of their characters.

    Most of the pals I saw at first were modified versions of an already existant pokemon with little to seperate it from fan art of that pokemon. This is particularly agregoous as they clashed against the rest of this games aesthetic. Nothing that was original fit with the design of the pokemon rip offs.

    Many other games have a pokemon esque aesthetic without direct copying. It looking similar is not my issue. My issue is that while playing I could easily name most pals to a pokemon. Seriously, look up comparisons. It’s blatant.

    They’ve moved away from thisbrecently but fuck man if it ain’t obvious. If they did the same to some small project I’d assume people would be much more up in arms, rightfully so.

    Still though, I won’t cry if Nintendo loses. I hope they pay an insane amount in lawyers fees either way and never see a dime out of the case


  • Yeah don’t worry about it too much. Ensure you have the correct name when installing your library but that’s about all you can do personally.

    Any other solution will have some security flaws. NPM has a few more than it should but essentially the entire web is built around it. Sorry man, you don’t have any other choices.

    How to use it properly? Any npm tutorial will show you quickly. Always check you’ve got the right thing, always check the library is large enough that if something goes wrong it’ll be noticed, and know there’s no way to be completely safe without never using libraries.

    If you’re learning the web though there’s no way to avoid npm.
