There's been malware in the past, not only that - AUR is user submitted. It's in the name. They warn you to double check what you're installing. It is functionally similar to running a random installer you found on GitHub.

It seems like these instances are being intentionally blown out of proportion, but I don't see what there is to gain by doing that.

I'm guessing Arkangel

[...] claimed that offering discount codes to voters amounted to “vote hauling,” or buying votes.

The entire premise is ridiculous but this takes the cake. Nowhere in the article does it mention who they're trying to buy votes for, nor does the blog post.

Ah yes, the famous Carlonina

I'm not quite sure why I keep seeing this news in various forms, yet Flathub gets fair crypto wallets and that only shows up on my feed once.

I found out my wisdom tooth was impacted a while back and had it removed. That was also when I found out I only ever had 1 wisdom tooth and never had the other three and apparently it's not uncommon.

The company said its IT complied with industry standards and it had taken out insurance against cyber-attack.

Backups and the 3-2-1 strategy have been industry standard for decades. What a load of crap.

I agree. On my normal keyboard I wouldn't even know how to produce an EM dash without looking it up. On my phone keyboard I can easily but that's just the intuitive UI.

I use hyphens all the time. I can't say I've noticed an EM dash outside a book, paper, or blog post (like, proper stylized blog).

I acknowledge that, this is the result of unbridled capitalism.

When a person uses social engineering and manipulation to extract money from an individual or company it's called fraud, when a large enough company does it it's just business.

If only our government could give us some handy dandy consumer protection laws.

Of course it's an Israeli firm that is enabling this greedy behavior. They already price gouge as it is. Can't we go back to the formula of "our cost + our profit margin adjusted for market". This bleeding the customer dry bullshit should stick in bullshit avoidable video game micro transactions.

Grocery is also loose. I'm in GA, anything processed has normal taxes. Produce and other ingredients has "lower" taxes because the statewide default doesn't apply. But it's still like 3% or in my area.
