What dodgy eastern european pdf sites are you finding? yandex and such just redirect me to oceanofpdf and then i have to use Sigl to strip all the crap out.

It was somewhat of a joke. Often car manuals, e.g., The Land Rover Defender service manual, obscure books and the like.

Usually some dodgy site where I need to click through some suspicious download links before getting the PDF. Willing to risk it to save £50.

Imagine not going through our girl Anna for all your ebook needs. Lunacy!

I do use anna for rare books but I'll actively try to find a thrifted copy of it for much cheaper. The wow diary was a big one for me because it was only released on kickststarter as a physical book and Anna had the scans. I did end up buying a copy on ebay for 40 but I first downloaded it from anna
 
The AUR hack has no effect because it's only fat guys who live with their parents who use Arch, and they always are reinstalling shit every third day.

Debian/Ubuntu and to a lesser extent, Fedora, are for people who actually use Linux for do shit with.
 
AUR helpers are to blame, and I'm guilty myself. As for reinstalling often:

Flatpak-NG sounds like bad news for systemd refuseniks

tl;dr flatpak is converting a big chunk of their core tech to a systemd module for no clear reason, meaning that flatpaks are going to have a hard dependency on systemd going forwards. The response to critics is to demand to know why other inits don't also have a systemd-appd module (in not so many words).

Issue of being run by committee, and not bdfl. IIRC gentoo finances still have not been properly prepared by a CPA/audited in... 10 years?

Yes. I get that you want options for cron. Is it really nessisary to keep five fucking cron options, with three horrendusly outdated (or no longer being maintained for one?).
Why the fuck is gentoo still using MD5 digests AS A DEFAULT VERFIFICATION when I can use something like BLAKE3, xxhash (if I care only about corruption), or SHA??
