Anyone who has spent any time on social media could tell you that this is more of a ‘feelings’ topic than a ‘facts’ topic.

After a while, but probably more than a month, you would need to refresh your keys as the ones that your system trusts would not match the signatures on what is being downloaded from the repo and you would be getting signature errors.
You’d just install archlinux-keyring first, and then do a full system upgrade. If that didn’t work you could refresh the keys with pacman-key (pacman-key --refresh-keys) and then install archlinux-keyring->upgrade.
Your system would work fine without updating, though I guess eventually a new version of HTML will come out in a decade or so and your browser won’t support it… but until then you’d be fine(security issues aside).


You could say the same about drug cartels and most governments spend billions of dollars fighting them while outlawing their products and sanctioning countries/governments which allow them.
I don’t expect the US Navy is going to be launching missiles at programmers in speedboats anytime soon, but it would be easy to sanction these companies and cut them off from the banking system.
Except the government is run by people in the pockets of the companies and countries who are doing this.


Why do we even allow these ‘businesses’ to exist?
It’s like someone started up a company where you could hire them to break into people’s houses for you. There are no ethical uses of the software that they create, they are entirely used for illegal activity and in support of oppressive governments.
They’re selling cyberweapons without any kind of regulations or restrictions.


I’m sure that case will be cited here.
In similar cases, the court has found the company liable for using the books without paying for them (so they had to pay for every individual book) but the process of training an AI model was ‘sufficiently transformative’ (see: Authors Guild v Google) so as to not be considered a copyright violation.
They may win damages equal to the costs of the books that were used, but they won’t get the models deleted or be able to claim damages for the models that were created.


Saying he ‘made a donation’ is downplaying his role. It makes it sound like he’s just some guy doing what everyone else does to participate in politics…
The 2025 donation accounted for 72% of the party’s total income last year. … According to data collected by DonationWatch, 2025 was the most lucrative year in the party’s history, netting a total of 5.58 million SEK. For comparison, the party received just 202,000 SEK in total donations throughout 2024.
Just the annual interest on his donation is more that all of their other donations for the entire year combined.
He didn’t just make a donation, he is practically their sole source of financing.
