Hey fellow Linux enthusiasts! I’ve been using Manjaro for a while now and have relied heavily on the AUR (Arch User Repository) for its extensive package collection. However, I’ve encountered a particular package that hasn’t seen updates in months, which has me exploring alternatives. Can anyone recommend an exhaustive...
The AUR isn’t a package manager. It’s a package repository that you can use a package manager (on Manjaro it’s probably pamac) to install from.
There really isn’t a more extensive package repository than the AUR, and there’s definitely not one for any Arch based distro. If the package hasn’t been updated in a while, you might have to go to the project website and check for an alternative install method, like Flatpak, AppImage, or a precompiled binary.
ETA - someone pointed out Nix, which I had totally forgotten about. I feel like everything else I say here stands though.
As a side note, and I’m likely to get jumped on by Manjaro fans for this, but on Manjaro extensive use of the AUR can lead to system instability. This is because the official repos for Manjaro are out of sync with the Arch repos, and you can run into dependency problems.

Lemme tell you about Blackjack Smith,
Shooting straight law, dealing justice,
Rode to DC to solve an itch
To jail a traitorous orange bitch
They thought a Cannon would save the lump
that ripped off America in the name of Trump
but her blast of bullshit couldn't delay
the Sword of Damocles coming down on its prey
Blackjack laughed as he held the cards
There was no need to bluff with these retards
Georgia was lookin' jealous of DC
And pretty soon there would be indictments three
Ivanka's shaken and Jared's pale
The Saudis can't hide them from Donnie's fail
Giuliani's squawking, Meadows is talking
O big daddy Trump, you're going to jail
Chorus
Ohh, keep on indictin', Mr. Blackjack Smith
The GOP is rolling in a mess of traitor shit
The Union looks to you to set the record straight
And purge the Presidency of Donald's hate
I heard that votes have been changed to behave closer to how people would expect, and boost is staying here as well. So I had an idea how to bring it all together in the interface....
Sorry about that - GDPR is short for General Data Protection Regulation, and it's basically an EU regulation determining what businesses are allowed to do with the data of their users.
What businesses are allowed to do with user data boils down to pretty much nothing without consent: Individuals need to have control over their data and have it removed if they feel like it, you can't just ship user data out of the EU just like that, you can't store user data without explicit consent, etc. It caused a huge shock in European industry when it was first passed, as basically not a single company was meeting the standards of what we now refer to as being GDPR compliant. I had a friend working in some random flower shop who got a bunch of extra work because their repeat customer programme was suddenly becoming illegal.
The case before the CJEU - the Court of Justice of the European Union - revolved around the terms and conditions of Facebook. Meta did not want to conventionally comply with GDPR because it turns out users will generally refuse to give consent if you go ahead and ask them. Insted they came up with a dumb loophole: the ads were framed as part of their service, and their terms of service obliged Facebook to serve people ads that would otherwise have been in breach with GDPR.
Predictably, the European court was not convinced by their "loophole", and basically ruled that Meta has to comply with GDPR like anyone else.

I've read that upvote on kbin is basically "save" and boost is the functionality that would be upvote on lemmy or reddit.
Edit: Well look at that, seems I'm wrong and so many friendly people here to correct me without resorting to calling me names. Already this is much better than Reddit. :)
Boost also enhances the visibility of a post, and it'll probably have to continue to do so in future versions: not so much because of the internal workings of kbin, but because boosts are used to increase visibility across the fediverse. Having them not count towards visibility in kbin would be inconsistent when displaying information from the threadiverse at large. :)
