Wait until all the manga and anime can no longer be accessed by piracy and their sales go down or marketing budget goes skyrocket

I am as muslim but not a scholar. You know what that means so be warned. I think it falls under the same as marriage where the necessity and law is dependent on your situation. It could be mubah, makruh, or haram. I think there is no situation where it could be halal unless somehow your life is threatened without pirating. I cannot equate it to stealing with my limited knowledge because with stealing, there are actual lost not just potential lost. And we already have ruling about speculation / unrealized gain

Nope. Islam does not have the concept of corporate personhood. It does have the concept of long-after-dead possession (although not strictly owned by said person). When you donate your wealth to the ummah (term for muslim as a whole, usually represented by a government or organization) in the form of wakaf, that wealth may not be re-sold/re-inherited. The wealth is still “attached” to you in a sense and very different from the usual infaq/shadaqa

Use aurto to have auto update of AUR package

Yes, that is called a pacman hook. As you expect, it is easy enough to add. You’re welcome to discuss your pull request to the arch maintainer.

Because it adds something that is not essential, so it is not “simple”. If package A depends on package B with an incompatible license then it needs to provide a means to specify alternate packages. Arch follows upstream with best effort possible, so changing dependency could be seen as breaking that. However, pacman already supports choosing alternate packages during installation so technically they could add it, but how many percentage of users are needing that convenience? Not to mention the arch team will need to maintain said list of alternatives for every dependencies. If you want, you can add it yourself via pacman hook to prevent you from accidentally installing non free software, or write a wrapper for pacman, or use other distro like Parabola.

Well, because Arch tries to be simple and pragmatic. The way the official repo is organized speaks volumes about its philosophy. Just read their FAQs

My bad, not FAQs, but their explanation page

Phone processors do post processing when taking a picture, even with the “no filter” selection. So yeah, it is understandable sometimes people can mistake a picture as “AI” since the artifact from said processing can become apparent

Arch does not have official FOSS only repo. And IIRC, that is by design

Huh, I tried to use their price estimator for my use case but it comes out the same for cloudflare pages + function and their goodies (D1, R2, DO, etc.) usage (around $5). But it is neat for in-between usage that is smaller than what cloudflare offers.

The redneck engineering equivalent in CS

I wanted OpenSAGE to mature more quickly so modders of CnC can have a field day with it. This looks like a nice in-between for me

I never understood this argument. Why does having common first letter bad? If you mean subjectively then sure, it may not be for everyone, but objectively?

The law will then say E2EE is forbidden. And then the next step is making Telegram as a prime example to strip out E2EE because “Look how many bad guys we can catch without E2EE”.

Eh, we can argue about language all we want but at the end of the day if it is still the same code just with a different branding, someone will be bound to automate the process eventually. It’s FOSS, if someone is willing to put in the works to enable people who think the brand name is a hindrance for their change then more power for them no? We even change master/slave terminology in CS and many other field for the same reason (linguistic)

To be fair, if the fork sole purpose is to just re-label the software and make people that have irks because of the name start to use the software, who are we to judge?
