TLDR: Open package repositories without some approval and oversight system, like AUR, will have even more problems in the future due to advanced coding AI and malicious foreign hackers.
Edit: Please normalize TLDR’s on bot posts with just a link.
I remember the good ole days when nobody cared enough about Linux to spread malware to it. Sigh. All these techbros that need to j their d to their power trips, dystopian surveillance, and shitty AI companies have probably started this. I even noticed a Linux hate sub on Lemmy. Imagine there being enough people forced to use Linux to create a hate community where they favor Microslop. Such strange times we live in.
AUR is still working as intended. It’s basically a public wiki of shell scripts, it was never intended to be secure in the first place. It has always been the user’s responsibility to review everything or avoid using it.

OP is not a bot
Then they should’ve included a short TLDR even harder
No, normalize forcing users to click the link and read the full text.
“Foreign hackers”
Foreign to who?
The article never said “foreign”, you made that up.
I guess if youre not from the US theyre “foreign”
