What’s an LSP here?

I keep coming back to the horrified astonishment I felt in late 2025. It was kinda excusable in 2016. But after already having seen what he did to the country for 4 years, and then after Jan 6…

And mind you, my demented, ever conservative, ever pro-capitalist and btw also pro-apartheid father, even he thinks Trump is an idiot who should be nowhere near political power.

What’s the answer here? Seems the USA have a deeper problem. I think it’s that particularly poisonous combination of consumer capitalism on steroids, and generations of lack of or plain bad education that’s often more aligned with capitalist interests. Oh and the history of “The American Dream”, i.e. hope that you’re the one out of a thousand who succeeds in raping everything and everyone around you for financial gain.

Pinnipeds (pronounced /ˈpɪnɪˌpɛdz/), commonly known as seals, are widely distributed and diverse carnivorous, fin-footed, semiaquatic, mostly marine mammals, belonging to the clade Pinnipedia. They comprise the extant families Odobenidae (whose only living member is the walrus), Otariidae (the eared seals: sea lions and fur seals), and Phocidae (the earless seals, or true seals), with 34 extant species and more than 50 extinct species described from fossils.

it’s not like democrats are pro Medicare for all anyway.

True

It would be the exact same outcome.

False

doG, it looks like a seal!

Yes and every other time I go to the library I get pissed off because my favorite author could be under Fantasy, SciFi or Crime …

Oh, it’s Picture-in-Picture, not Python’s Pip.

It’s not even like a Democrat admin would do things much differently. Israel is just maximising profits.

But the USA has always been a willing participant, one could even say it started the other way round.

OK, no I don’t have that. Did not know that was required to get a .eu.org subdomain.

Client or server?

It sounds like you’re in a gatekeeper role

Not sure I like the sound of that.

But I was thinking of scrutinizing a few more packages in this way, time permitting. Maybe it will inspire other people to do the same.

It also means the security is “trust me bro”. That’s far more disturbing to me than all the legal and transparency concerns put together.

Well that’s why I’m asking for transparency. This oldest 3rd party appstore ran on “trust me bro” for almost 20 years… way back when it was big but the whole mobile ecosystem stuff wasn’t that developed yet. Then it was small for a long time, now it’s growing again because a) a new device came out that is selling surprisingly well and b) vibecoding is here.

And it was never big on opensource despite being Linux-based.

Now, when I raise these issues, many of these people feel insulted. Or admit that it’s just one bad apple. Not realizing that that’s exactly why we need transparency. It’s the opposite of “I don’t mind Google knowing everything, I have nothing to hide”: “you demanding transparency means you suspect us all of being criminals”.

It’s idiotic at best, and worthy of a Hamlet quote at worst: “The lady doth protest too much, methinks”

Not my use case, but it’s amazing that this exists. No registration necessary.

Nice. Just registered an account and tried to register a subdomain.eu.org to my VPS’ IPv4 address, but I keep getting

SOA from SUBDOMAIN.EU.ORG at nnn.nn.nn.nn: Error: Timeout

Maybe I just have to wait but I’m not sure I’m doing this right at all…

Thanks.

I have analysed the package to my best abilities - it contains lots of stuff that cannot possibly be 100% the authors creation, but they lie about using LLMs and anyhow AI stealing IP is not illegal (yet).

The community is pretty much 50/50 about LLM usage, but I think more people care about transparency, Opensource and respecting licenses. I’m getting plenty of likes for raising this issue. Well, relatively. More than the people opposing me.

I have also found that the software in question wants to install ~40 more packages from its creators personal website. This isn’t disclosed anywhere. And that is objectively shady af imo - but again, probably not actually illegal.

I do mind not being accessible to the average person.

Not sure how to explain how imagination works.

Unless you meant something else?

Are you saying website owners are always located in the country their .tld belongs to?

I’m looking for solutions here, so I did go to the actual site and checked before I wrote the above.

Interesting free tier option:

And they’re from Iceland. And GDPR-compliant. And FOSS.

❤️❤️❤️

I think we have a winner. Let’s see how they respond to my explanations.

Well done! I hope you wrote a tutorial on the process?
