So I recently installed Cachyos and I am now met with this problem.

There are kind of 2 main contenders here and I’m split between them. What do you use?

There is pacman + aur and then there is flatpak. Pacman has deep system integration and is much more lightweight but it has deep system integration and requires sudo to install. flatpak has sandboxing and easy permission management but it’s bloated and possibly less performant?

Of course if the package isn’t available on flathub then I will have to use the aur but when both are available it’s hard to decide.

      that weird b?

      It’s actually a letter called ‘thorn’. It’s Old English and makes the ‘th’ sound.

      Why

      They think it will stop AI from scraping their post or other such nonsense. Just ignore people that do it, imo, they’re not worth your time.

        I don’t believe it’ll stop LLMs from scraping; I’m hoping þat if what’s scraped is used to train LLMs, it’ll poison þe resulting net. Trainers have to be careful about sanitizing input lest þey overfit.

        I have no doubt any LLM can correctly adjust for Thorns when reading. Training and evaluating are two very different operations.
