This is why I like Ethan Chlebowski. He advocate to not learn recipe for home cook but straight to the basic. How to combine and mix ingredients so you can eat well with whatever you have. After you have build up those basic, then you can look at recipe so you know what can be substituted with what you have, and what you really need to have and buy new. Along the way, hopefully you’ll also be more proficient in using your knife which constitutes most of the prep time

Contractual obligations cannot override laws does not mean the law is not legally binding. It just means that a contract cannot be put on an equal pedestal as a legal basis since a law can override it. Say a consumer protection law states you have a warranty that is tied to the device and not the purchase. But then the manufacturer put ToS/contract clause stating the warranty that comes with the device must be accompanied by sales receipt as well as the warranty card. Those clauses are not legally binding and if the company doesn’t honor the warranty, you can sue them for breaking said consumer protection law instead

Games@lemmy.world•As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record yearEnglish
12·2 months agoNo, cracking the game vs just copying the downloaded file is not equivalent. How did you not see that? With copying the file it means the original file is already DRM free and does not require steam. So steam is just a glorified downloader and launcher in that sense

3·2 months agoThat’s not how story writing works. Or any long form written art works for that matter. Try to ask any writer if they ever “write in their head” and publish those as a book as-is

I forgot where I got this, but it is from fediverse

Every *-git package also fetch it from the repo. The apt analogy is someone haven’t been maintaining the nixpkg and then it gets adopted by someone else. Now that someone else change the build script to be malware. So it is no fault of the upstream
I know where you’re coming from when you say they are different. But I disagree on that because at the end of the day you’re still trusting other people would not act maliciously or get their account compromised. The selection process doesn’t make it any more special as demonstrated by xz in my example.
Anyone can be an AUR submitter and maintainer. Act in good faith and never become an Arch maintainer. Someone can be an Arch maintainer and be good for a few years then something happened and their account got hacked or bad blood made them act rashly.
That’s precisely what I mean when I equate AUR maintainer to the distro maintainer. To the package management system, they are both trusted. Not in the sense of how special they are or how strongly you can trust one but not the other.
Yes, and that is no different than distro maintainer that maintains the infrastructure and package. Anyone can volunteer. That’s how xz is compromised. The point is that aurto trust models mimic those of other package managers. Trusting the authors implicitly trust the code. The only other special things from distro maintainer is their PGP signatures are required to perform release on the main repo. This is better because as I stated earlier, reviewing PKGBUILDS would encourage people to just skip it. Not everyone has the time for that. But when a maintainer changes? Aurto removes the package for you to perform that first trust again on the new maintainer. This is no different than if you update the arch keyring just more manual
Well, it is just like a distro maintainer account anyway. If the maintainer account is compromised then gg for the whole distro. That’s what happens with other supply chain attacks as well and yes, I do think we need a way to fix that without compromising on ease of usability
Yeah, use and promote
aurtoinstead. They require you to trust the maintainer and would remove the package from the local repo if the maintainer is changed
Better than bricking your installation like a certain desktop OS

Technology@lemmy.world•America's tech-filled classrooms are facing a backlash against school-assigned devicesEnglish
11·3 months agoThere are areas that can be improved to reduce waste tho. Providing e-reader for example instead of a full blown tablet to reduce book waste is I think would help. Plus students don’t have to lug around their textbook AND workbook at the same time. Like legit, tech can be helpful IF they are implemented TO ACTUALLY HELP and not to sell something

To be fair, he did a lot of experimentation and that builds up his pantry and spice rack over time. His latest video about eating for $10 a day basically limit his spice selection too. And again, the takeaway from him is always to learn how the flavor actually combines rather than specific recipe. So you know when it is fine to substitute beef with pork for example and when it is not
