Welcome to zzz/tech/
Rules
0. All global rules apply: https://zzzchan.xyz/rules.html
1. /tech/ is a primarily SFW board. NSFW is only allowed if spoilered.
2. Keep the topics related to technology and computing.
3. When making a thread, put some effort into the OP. Low quality threads and template threads will be bumplocked. Some low quality threads that have already been bumplocked can be deleted if too much fills up the catalog.
4. For the QTDDTOT thread and the meta-thread, there can be only one unless the reply limit has been reached. If the previous thread is at the reply limit, anyone can recreate those threads. Thread quality rules do not apply to these threads.
5. Low quality shitposting will be met with DELetion or all files in the post being unlinked (frogposting, wojaks, >he doesn't use [insert thing here], Reddit logo spam, etc.). Otherwise, shitposting is allowed but try not to derail threads.

Posting recommendations
1. Try keeping most of your tech support questions, software recommendations, consumer advice, and other questions that don't deserve threads in the QTDDTOT thread. If there is a specific thread for your question, try asking there instead for a faster response.
2. Try not to ask questions that can be found on any search engines. You will most likely be told to search more and not receive an answer.

I'd previously assumed that Electron-esque garbage like Snap and Flatpak were just a fad confined to lazy commercial software, but along with a slow general decline in community packager activity, I've recently noticed more and more dev projects like GIMP and Handbrake abandoning official Linux builds for distro-native package formats. Reading a bit about it, the underlying tools and standards for packaging appear to be in general decay, and I was surprised to see some distros like Ubuntu and Fedora making noises about completely abandoning their package managers at some (usually vague) point in the future!

Throughout the span of modern Linux distros, before the need to resort to manually installing every single version of a piece of software, as an alternative to waiting for the distro's repo to update from (sometimes painfully outdated) stable versions, there were pretty much always builds of whatever available from either the developers themselves or some helpful person's PPA. Without that, Linux will become much less convenient to use at best, far more bloated and broken at worst.

It has been suggested by some, such as this article:
https://ludocode.com/blog/flatpak-is-not-the-future
that the main problem which allowed such moronic software to gain momentum (aside from security flimflam exaggerating its sandbox capabilities) was Linux's not

Yeah. None of this would have happened, if the AUR had mandatory reviews and checks before packages could be updated. Gentoo's GURU or *BSD ports doesn't have this kind of issues. There should be also a better way to orphan packages properly. Currently, the user has to manually check for them and manually remove them. Pacman is not a good package manager.

There is easy way to check for known malicious packages but there are over 1500+ packages. Here is a handy script that I found:

I think this is big enough deal to merit pulling it out of the 'news' page into its own thread. If you don't know what's going on, a bunch of states have pulled a fast one on us and are trying to/have passed age verification laws in various states in the U.S. on the operating system level.
- Lunduke's Journal has been having a spree providing updates on it ( lunduke.substack.com )
- I made my own page to try to keep track on what you can do. Please think about sharing it (or something): https://websitereview.neocities.org/ageverification
- Reclaim the Net has a campaign trying to counter it https://reclaimthenet.org/age-verification

Due to sms being needed to sign up for entering sites I kinda agree with you. *entering insanity mode* It's so silly the powers that be think they're keeping people safe doing silly stuff like this. At the end of the day some serial killer is going to whipe his shoes off on some guy he had a gun on using his computer and all his information instead after it's literally impossible to be anonymous and just go to another guy's house in someone else's car. They can't stop that sort of activity but pretend some all seeing eye can when it can't actually see anything, just record and get there too late. Eventually some day in the futue the brown pill poster will be posting over some dead grandma/grandpa on his/her computer while giggling and bicycle away leaving their corpses to rot.

I mean, Flash was right there, they could've just sent that to the ISO the same way they did with PDF & OpenType, but whatever, at least we have something that works and all the browsers support it. Or, speaking of PDF, they could've done what the NeWS people were tinkering with back before X killed it, and just dumped the entire SGML/XML idea to replace HTML/CSS/JS entirely with PostScript.
>With no serious contenders SVG won by default. Maybe we'll get a better format one day. We can only hope.
I don't think a single "file format" in the sense of SVG or Flash, where you can right-click on it to save and look at in your DE's image viewer is going to happen. Instead, when exporting vector assets for the web, you now target a mishmash of SVG, CSS, HTML5 <canvas>, and 2D WebGL/WebGPU.

It'd be no worse than the current problems with JS, or various other VM languages like Java itself that support quite fine grained permissions. I think the tradeoff would've been worth it, to gain a unified, far more elegant and powerful system, also extending throughout the OS much better.
>I'm not sure how declarative Flash is
Excepting, e.g., ActionScript? Completely. On the subject of PDF, partly for that exact reason Adobe shifted both PDF and Illustrator away from PostScript in 2000, to a new completely declarative internal data format.

It's very possible you're right. I have no clue about the internals of Flash. All I know is that most of it is proprietary and hard to work with using third party tools.
It just didn't happen. Without making a formal open image format it's not something that just happens randomly.

He inserts himself into any conversation on niche languages he can find, and thinks he's a super edgy contrarian for liking systemd. If anyone disagrees with him, he "ironically" threatens to molest and force feminize him. He's such an obvious sexual predator that it's telling language designers semi-tolerate him at all.
