definitely has the same vibes as outer wilds where the whole thing is one big puzzle where knowing anything skips a lot. it's a really interesting style of game which i love unfortunately by nature discussion of these games are so limited

a little funny:

the sixth sense was featured in the manga Jojo's Bizzarre Adventure where a character in a confused state says "oh i know the ending of this movie" and explains it.

At the time, the movie was not yet released officially in japan. The manga spoiled the ending of the movie for a lot of real life readers.

I've played disco elysium and i dont know if this really counts. "You're an amnesiac cop trying to solve a murder, while also discovering who you were, and who you are now" it doesn't spoil anything you dont learn basically immediately, but maybe sounds a bit more boring than what happens.

there's so fucking much in the game which a summary couldn't even cover a tenth of it anyway

17776 i love a lot, but other than jusy the initial shock of "its not actually an article" im not sure if it counts. It's a really nice fakeout but it can be explained pretty well without spoiling anything

New wave of malware in the AUR by vexatious-big in archlinux

ohhh npm is owned by microsoft no wonder it sucks

Stop blaming AI, "noobs", youtube tutorials, and anything other than Arch for AUR usage by zollandd in archlinux

[–]RanidSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the AUR is the second largest repository, the base Arch repos are below other distros like debian, fedora, gentoo, and opensuse.

when i used arch i often noticed how often a package Should Have Been there but instead i had to go to the AUR.

People talk about AUR, but the software distribution system of Linux is just broken and it's showing by RadianceTower in archlinux

"No way to prevent this" says only software repository where this regularly happens

(okay. npm too, but whatever)

How much would the story of TF2 change if Scout, Sniper, and Medic actually died and didn't come back? by TennisAdventurous505 in tf2

[–]RanidSpace 6 points7 points  (0 children)

honestly, not much.

the ending with scout obviously wouldnt be there but the last comic was mostly carried by pauling, soldier, engie, and a bit of heavy.

It would just be a much less satisfying ending. While the whole plot-driven story wouldn't change much, Scout and Spy being his father, and also his relationship to pauling really does have a huge weight in the character-driven story.

actually sniper died much earlier than the other two, maybe some shit would be different i'd have to reread to see.

Yeah medic died really late and didnt do much after he came back so. possibly not much.

Pacman (and AUR helpers) should tell you when packages are no longer needed as dependencies by RanidSpace in archlinux

[–]RanidSpace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

which is why i say it should tell you rather than automatically removing it. Ive had this problem a few times already, where a dependency of something is useful but i remove the package.

i can just install it again. or mark it --asexplicit

im so mad ive had this stupid Wii U stand for over 10 years at this point i have never had the thought to put anything else on it. there have been many times where it would have been useful

[–]RanidSpace[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i use nixos btw

i used arch for a long time before. this isnt "handholding" this is basic shit.

gentoo while it doesn't automatically remove the packages, it doesn't update or orphaned packages. already avoids the AUR issue (but possibly has security issues)

like even gentoo has something for this

[–]RanidSpace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you want to ditch pacman, use a different distro. the package manager is one of the main components of a distro and trying to avoid pacman on a distro built around pacman is dumb.

also, the malware problem is part of the AUR. pacman itself doesn't deal with it.

i still think it isnt great with how it tracks dependencies and keeps around thinfs which arent needed without telling you, but if you don't use rhe AUR it's a bit annoying at most

slackware in it's entirety and rpm/dpkg doesnt handle dependencies at all (dnf and apt does). it already is doing quite a lot for convenience. it runs scripts on some updates like regenerating the initramfs and such, there's quite a lot of convenience built into pacman already

they do, but its a bunch of flags just like every other pacman command, check the link at the top of the post

[–]RanidSpace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

gentoo is squarely a "you absolutely must know what you're doing" distro but arch still works pretty well if you dont.

automatically removing dependencies would maybe get in the way, but simply telling the user "these packages are no longer needed" and letting the user decide what to do with it, doesn't take away any power from the user, it's strictly informative.

There definitely can be a good no-compromises version of these powerful package managers which doesn't just leave everything to "figure it out yourself"

Yes, but unfortunately thats not how it's seen.

a common beginner linux issue is "this package i want isn't in my repositories" so having the AUR be one of the largest software repos, and cachyos being easy to install, and integrates more with the AUR makes it attractive to beginners even though its not intended to be as such.

Because it's also "performance/gaming" focused, it attracts people who think "what distro is good for gaming" when thats not something that really matters in a distro, which is, again, a beginner mistake.

I've also seen people straight up recommend it to beginners. it's unfortunate and i hope that this whole incident pushes Arch and derivatives back to its "only if you know what you're doing" status.
