I've used Cachy for about 2 months, having used Arch for a long time prior to that.
It just feels a lot faster (anecdotally) than Arch. I don't tend to play a lot of games either, but for tasks like web browsing and watching YouTube, it feels smoother. I don't think I'd go back to Arch unless Cachy did something really stupid to mess up which I hope they won't. No point in leaving free performance on the table with little downside.
Also you should never need the AUR. I've never needed it for anything in years, so the malware attack wasn't a concern at all. Yes, absolutely do switch away from Windows.
For anyone getting late to the thread, they're reinstating TSME. They shouldn't have had to reinstate it to begin with, but it's good to see the pressure campaign worked.
just now seen one such comment in this thread get flagged/removed but the Gaza genocide is always conspicuous by its absence in these discussions; conspiracy of silence on this needs to end if we are to entertain the notion that we're serious about the other human rights issues being brought up otherwise the hypocrisy just gives you whiplash.
the most nefarious thing about Gmail/Google Accounts is how it's not only the default SSO option, but for many AI services, notably even Chinese-owned ones like Deepseek and Kimi, it's often one of the only ones (the other being Apple ID).
It was always really obvious but that recent full-throated-fascist manifesto has left no doubt. One thing Palantir have going for them is this deranged movie-villain-style transparency about their intentions, they don't even care about hiding it.
I hate the BBC so much - "controversial privacy tech" "E2EE ... the best way to protect conversations from .. even repressive authorities" "End-to-end encryption has been criticised by governments, police forces"
They're saying this at the same time as they're clutching pearls over Iran's repression of protestors. Typical of the ethical consistency I would expect from them.
Fair to assume trillions of the physical metal weren't simultaneously dumped onto the market in the past day; this is entirely ETF driven therefore it's also safe to assume there is manipulation taking place to drive the price down.
What I don't understand is why, when there appear to be signs of a supply shortage, market forces appear to want to drive the price down and cause any remaining inventory to flow towards China where there is a $30~/oz arbitrage to be made.
Installed it on a TP-Link to replace my ISP router a couple days ago. I'm super impressed with how it needed almost no config (except to manually activate the Wifi and to set a password).
I'd recommend downloading the Material theme for anyone complaining about the barebones look.
Yeah it's incredible when the mask drops this far.
Trump is a pathetic fuck, but this lines up with how he only ever plays to the domestic audience in advancing protectionist interests. We're feeling that dissonance because this kind of protectionist thinking is extremely rare, basically unheard of these days for world leaders.
