@mangeurdenuage you can build them and publish them to your own repo if you want. its just a manifest file like any other package manager :neocat_woozy:

@icedquinn flatpak/snap/appimage are practical yes, the issue is that the control of how they are compiled/distributed are as hazardous than to download a .exe from softtonic.
As always there's a need for reproducibility and it's non existent.

@mangeurdenuage sounds like pretty generic foot guns.
i've had to start using it because repo politics won't let us do things like OBS with a working browser plugin because this or that reason.

@icedquinn I know, I'm not speaking about myself. I'm speaking of other people who can bypass any of the usual filtering that used to be in the usual default debian/*buntu aptitute package manager.
Of course things have gotten bad in the *buntu repos but debian and trisquel are pretty pure of malware.

@mangeurdenuage i wish void had something like AUR but we don't and i'm not sure if the package manager even supports it.
i know zypper does (but i'm not going back to sysd)

@cohle @mangeurdenuage yup. obs and casparcg use it as a discount character graphics server nowadays. with the right stylesheets you can set backgrounds to transparent, overlay the page, and use something like nodecg and/or greensock libraries to have a graphics overlay on streams.
caspar used to use flash but that went the way of the dodo. now they use an outdated libcef.
void doesn't allow it because we're not allowed to do more web browsers. i guess it uses up too much compute from github or something.
