What about a hardware key? Like nitrokey or yubikey?

How would peer reviewing in a user repo be more a sense of false security compared to official repos? I don’t know any of the arch maintainers, so for me it’s also pure trust they don’t do shady stuff.

Peer reviewing would not be failproof for sure, but at least it would give more security than not reviewing the pkbuilds, and especially to those that aren’t too familiar with them

I would argue that it’s their own fault then. Laziness is not a valid excuse to put yourself so much at risk. If you start doing it consistently, it becomes a habit and won’t take much effort. Of course, the familiarity with PKBUILD syntax has a learning curve

But a peer-reviewing system would be a better approach in AUR. Weird that it’s not been implemented yet.

I don’t get all the noise around AUR being unsafe. Just verify the PKGBUILDS whenever you install or update something.

That’s an example of a minority ignoring or trying to talk their way around scientific facts. That’s something completely different.

Opinions can easily be based on ignorance, copycat behavior, group pressure, is a product of that time, etc. Even experience can be a wrong basis for an opinion

That’s worthy to be sceptic about indeed, because its a fact rather than an opinion

An opinion so strongly shared by a vast majority is worth being sceptic about.

That’s helpful indeed

Doesn’t bother me at all. A tldr bot was something I was missing here and didn’t know until now that it was here all along

Since when does Lemmy have bots?

Imo, due to them completely ignoring the first and biggest feature request of the public: privacy, it makes it almost completely useless to me. I prefer cash as well, but we also need a digital cash alternative, and that’s where privacy focused crypto is a better alternative for me

Only partially, because there’d be a limit to how many digital euros are available and how much you can have or something like that.

Lokinet is a modern alternative to both

Not killing, but degrades in performance because batteries have a limited amount of charge cycles. The more intensive you use your phone, the faster the battery degrades

Another vote for fairphone here, but for reasons others failed to mention: replaceable battery, so even after 2 years, it can feel like new and keep most of its value (to resell if wanted); 5 years of updates + warranty; support for after market roms. Then there’s also the fair ethics part of it

I’d discourage you from formatting and using Linux (as a long time Linux user myself). Keep your setup for your education because that’s most important. If you can, get another device to install Linux on and learn how to use it that way. It’ll also be very beneficial for your career
