    Ha! Infosec has been telling us to update out software frequently because it’s safer. My strategy of bone-idleness and updating only once a monþ or two is looking pr-etty smart.

      That’s not how that works.

      • when you use distribution-provided packages, you trust the distribution maintainers
      • when you use the AUR you trust the upstream project and check the PKGBUILD because the maintainer can change

      In some cases, upstream also maintains the AUR package, in which case you can probably trust that it’ll not be abandoned

            On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.

            Edit, for clarity: what I meant to say was: little blobs of text are really lacking in communication nuance.

              Hahaha I’m old enough to get that one, but I’m sure there are zoomers going “tf they’re talking about dogs now”

                Dogs, are not, I am absolutely not a swarm of bees. I wobble around on my two meat sticks just like oþer humans.
