Arch Linux and Valve Collaboration (lists.archlinux.org)

We are excited to announce that Arch Linux is entering into a direct collaboration with Valve. Valve is generously providing backing for two critical projects that will have a huge impact on our distribution: a build service infrastructure and a secure signing enclave. By supporting work on a freelance basis for these topics, Valve enables us to work on them without being limited solely by the free time of our volunteers.

This opportunity allows us to address some of the biggest outstanding challenges we have been facing for a while. The collaboration will speed-up the progress that would otherwise take much longer for us to achieve, and will ultimately unblock us from finally pursuing some of our planned endeavors. We are incredibly grateful for Valve to make this possible and for their explicit commitment to help and support Arch Linux.

These projects will follow our usual development and consensus-building workflows. [RFCs] will be created for any wide-ranging changes. Discussions on this mailing list as well as issue, milestone and epic planning in our GitLab will provide transparency and insight into the work. We believe this collaboration will greatly benefit Arch Linux, and are looking forward to share further development on this mailing list as work progresses.

So the admins do their job and you had an issue

That doesn’t seem like a big deal

Punishing the person seeking help while doing jack shit to the people insulting & trolling while hiding the whole thing so others can't see is certainly not how I want to see the moderation job to be done. But if you want to circlejerk with toxic trolls, then go right ahead.

The posts you had a problem with were deleted, what more can they do? Leaving them up just encourages that behaviour

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago

That's literally not what happened. lol And what could they do? Maybe ban the trolls? One of them even had a freaking Gadaffi avatar. Hiding your shameful display of a community is also incredibly bad behavior and what ultimately was the final nail in the coffin for my decision to move away from EOS.

Let's just keep this in the thread DarkThoughts linked
