  • I’ve been messing with paru to gauge its functionality against yay.

    So far I’m unimpressed. The cli display is somewhat tidier/neat. I like that. But when it comes to actually installing something, it’s less than stellar.

    For instance, if I want to skip any confirmation, I can use the undocumented flag --noconfirm. But that only works if I’m passing the flag to install, -S. If, say, I’m searching for a package, simply typing paru <package>, then the interactive menu no longer works. It simply exits with the message ‘nothing to do’.

    yay, on the other hand, works flawlessly with the --noconfirm flag.

    I noticed that paru has some upgrading/updating features that are nice. I might use it once in a while to upgrade/update the system. But that’s pretty much it for now.







  • Let me try to see if I get the logic here. So a company fires a lot of people, and then another company hires them.

    These workers then are leveraged by the new company to do something similar to what they have been doing in the previous company. This allows the new company to create a competing product that seems to capture part of the previous company’s market.

    But now the first company wants to sue the second company for… leveraging those recently dismissed workers?

    One of those companies seem to be acting in a very strategically sound way, and it’s not the one which fired those workers in the first place…



  • They are my mother, father, and everyone else. Life’s hard, and too many things compete for our attention.

    You’re right. Indiscriminate data collection is like the meat industry. Some people may find abhorrent how animals are treated, even how destructive the whole thing can be. But ultimately, out of sight is out of mind, right?

    Like you said, the same with privacy. Apps are shiny, addictive, and seem to be given away for free. Then life happens, the mind becomes busy with what holds its attention.

    We’re doomed because the game being played is simply too complex for anyone make sense of it. Any competing insight is immediately drowned under the massive torrent of data we’re all subjected to.
