Good. And pray he not be the only one. I know they’re not exactly socialists either, but it looks like this government is actually doing what a government is supposed to do. Such a rarity these days.

Can we extrapolate from that the sentences billionaires should get for large-scale tax evasion?

OK, no I don’t have that. Did not know that was required to get a .eu.org subdomain.

Client or server?

It sounds like you’re in a gatekeeper role

Not sure I like the sound of that.

But I was thinking of scrutinizing a few more packages in this way, time permitting. Maybe it will inspire other people to do the same.

It also means the security is “trust me bro”. That’s far more disturbing to me than all the legal and transparency concerns put together.

Well that’s why I’m asking for transparency. This oldest 3rd party appstore ran on “trust me bro” for almost 20 years… way back when it was big but the whole mobile ecosystem stuff wasn’t that developed yet. Then it was small for a long time, now it’s growing again because a) a new device came out that is selling surprisingly well and b) vibecoding is here.

And it was never big on opensource despite being Linux-based.

Now, when I raise these issues, many of these people feel insulted. Or admit that it’s just one bad apple. Not realizing that that’s exactly why we need transparency. It’s the opposite of “I don’t mind Google knowing everything, I have nothing to hide”: “you demanding transparency means you suspect us all of being criminals”.

It’s idiotic at best, and worthy of a Hamlet quote at worst: “The lady doth protest too much, methinks”

Not my use case, but it’s amazing that this exists. No registration necessary.

Nice. Just registered an account and tried to register a subdomain.eu.org to my VPS’ IPv4 address, but I keep getting

SOA from SUBDOMAIN.EU.ORG at nnn.nn.nn.nn: Error: Timeout

Maybe I just have to wait but I’m not sure I’m doing this right at all…

I always read this as shardware.

Thanks.

I have analysed the package to my best abilities - it contains lots of stuff that cannot possibly be 100% the authors creation, but they lie about using LLMs and anyhow AI stealing IP is not illegal (yet).

The community is pretty much 50/50 about LLM usage, but I think more people care about transparency, Opensource and respecting licenses. I’m getting plenty of likes for raising this issue. Well, relatively. More than the people opposing me.

I have also found that the software in question wants to install ~40 more packages from its creators personal website. This isn’t disclosed anywhere. And that is objectively shady af imo - but again, probably not actually illegal.

I do mind not being accessible to the average person.

Not sure how to explain how imagination works.

Unless you meant something else?

Are you saying website owners are always located in the country their .tld belongs to?

I’m looking for solutions here, so I did go to the actual site and checked before I wrote the above.

Interesting free tier option:

Instead of paying, you can leave us a friendly message or tell us how you use PageKite, and get free service in return.

And they’re from Iceland. And GDPR-compliant. And FOSS.

I think we have a winner. Let’s see how they respond to my explanations.

tl;dr: agentic AI.

If you don’t know what that is, read the article. IMO it is right, clickbait title phrasing excused.

Ah, OK. There’s no marketplace for self-made Debian packages that I know of, but of course it’s still possible to make them, even create your own repositories and add them to your apt. And in good old Debian fashion it’s going to be way more low-level, and confusing to find definite documentation. One thing I’m seeing again and again is dpkg-deb and other dpkg-* commands.

Pity makedeb is unmaintained. But maybe still usable?

Having read it, it looks like the only reason he joined was to potentially protect her and get healthcare, and it also looks like he was encouraged to do so as entrapment.

Oh yeah, then it actually makes sense. Although it’s still more a case of classical backstabbing.

I don’t like the narrative of joining the military to serve your country much, but it’s still very different from serving the current admin.

And like you say, it’s the only better-than-minimum-wage option open to many people.

There are no more summer lifeguard jobs
There are no more art museums to guard
The lab is out of white lab coats
Cause there are no more slides and microscopes
But there are still careers in combat, my son
There are still careers in combat, my son

There are no more roles on TV shows
There are no road-cone dispensing jobs
There are no spots left for park ranger
Cause there are no bears left to save you from
But there are still careers in combat, my son
There are still careers in combat, my son

Well done! I hope you wrote a tutorial on the process?

I’m missing the bit where he voted for the Party Eating Leopards’ Faces.
Maybe it’s in the article itself, but why drop it from the blurb?

Thanks. Based in NL is certainly a plus.
