Internet access (incl. mobile networks) and electricity should be decommodified, just like water and sewage. They're all essential utilities.(I am sorry for all whose water and sewage are not decommodified.)

I've been using Godot from the `godot` package in the #ArchLinus / #Manjaro community repository. So far, that has always been Godot 3.x, which is what we use for our main projects. I've just launched Godot again, and this time it's v4.0.2. How does that make any sense as a regular software update? None of the projects I'm working on are compatible with Godot 4, while Godot 3 is still very much the recommended long-term project foundation. #GodotEngine

Why package `godot` at all, if it's not a package you can recommend anyone actually use?I've been learning a lot about traditional package management on Linux (pacman, apt, dnf, etc.), and one big thing I've learnt is that it's terrible for apps.It's too slow to keep up with software that needs to be updated quickly (like Discord), but also too quick to switch major versions where it shouldn't (like Godot).

Very mature of an #ArchLinux developer to get mad that I dare to point out a problem, shit on me for not doing a peer-reviewed study on the distro before using it, then block me so that no more arguments can reach him 🙂 I love this diverse and welcoming community 🙃

@njamster You're looking at this from the maintainer's perspective, not the user's. Why are you asking the user to make changes to their setup, and transition from a supported installation to an unsupported one, in order to *keep things the way they were*? This is like Windows forcing people to do dirty registry hacks in order to *not* get Windows 11 or a system update that causes bluescreens.

@njamster If Arch is so committed to the rolling release thing, then why does it ship 2 different major versions of gcc, 3 major versions of openjdk, and 6 major versions of electron?

what ifarch supersedes `godot` with `godot3`, and provides a separate `godot4`, since both are technically "latest" versionsno, that would be too simple and sensiblelet's do more work instead

@njamster Sure, cause managing individual software updates is now part of my self-imposed 2nd job description 🙄 Yeah, I saw that there were updates, I found a convenient moment, and I hit 'install'. What the fuck else was I gonna do? And what happened to semver?Godot 4 is perfectly fine. What's unsupported is using an AUR package, when just earlier we were using an official Arch package, to which we had moved *from* another AUR package.

@EU_Commission Ok, but why is it car infrastructure? We're supposed to be getting rid of car dependence if we are to achieve a sustainable future. Let's look at some railway investments instead.

@EU_Commission While we're at it, can you publicly condemn the genocide and ethnic cleansing that Israel is enacting and has been for a long time?

@Linux @nicetux He's not "gifted", he's usurping leadership of a popular project and flooding it with changes that create serious problems.He's not just an "asshole", he's a sociopath or egomaniac putting harmful ideas on the flagstaff of his software shenanigans.And this is not the first time @BrodieOnLinux is running public defense for someone like that, while making wild claims about "how things work in the foss world".
