    I don’t see any cycle here, qemu-deskyop needs qemu-base and that’s it.

    I think you meant that qemu-desktop is orphan.

    EDIT: I am back on my pc so I can share a magic command to clean your orhpan packages (stares at electron) -> sudo pacman -Qdtq | sudo pacman -Rn -

    yes bare git works just fine. if you ever want a web GUI and/or issues and Pull Request you want such a tool.

    A web GUI can be very nice to share your repository publicly. You can also use codeberg.org if you can’t or don’t want to self host.

    PS : I’m kinda shocked (not that much) by the downvotes or your legitimate and polite comment. Still looking for better communities/system.

    OK I got it, you are completely out of the loop here.

    You do not grasp the idea of NoScript and other JS filtering extension. This is not about server code, your all arguments is baseless here.

    By the way JS refered to Javascript and not NodeJS.

    Anyway I got you whole company/business talk about “keeping the service available, secure, performant” and “GDPR […] bankrupting fine”… yeah lemmy.world.

    Thanks for your answer.

    First I don’t even grasp what a “service owner” is.

    Second, for JS front-end openness there are already a bunch of app (web, android) that are open-source and secured. Everything has dependencies nowadays, this doesn’t prevent good security. Think all the python app and their dependencies, rust, android… even c\c++ packages are built with dependencies and security updates are necessary (bash had security issues).

    I think with JS scripts it’s actually even easier to have good security because the app is ran in our web browser so the only possible attacker is the website we are visiting itself. If they are malicious then the close-sourced JS script is even worse. Unless you count 3rd party scripts embedded that bad dev uses in their website without even thinking about trusting them. That is also awful in both open or close source environment.

    So even having imperfect security (which happens regardless to openness), who is the attacker here? I would rather run js script on my end if the code can be checked.

    I’m not sure why people keep pushing that myth on C++. It’s been a decade we have smart pointers. There’s no memory management to be done ever.

    Using the old ‘new’ is like typing ‘unsafe’ in rust. Even arrays/vectors have safe accessor.

    Am I missing something?

    They won’t go to jail, period. No company owners never go to jail, kinda ever. This phrase is out of proportion. At worse they would have a fine.

    Also still in the blog everything is words and very opaque like " We do this not only through technology and advocacy (Proton has contributed over $500,000 toward defending these values around the world)" : like where, what, when?

    “There was no legal possibility to resist or fight this particular request.” : I doubt very much unless Switzerland is a dictatorship in disguise.

    “Switzerland generally will not assist prosecutions from countries without fair justice systems.” : clearly not.
