  So you have never iterated over command line arguments and tried to identify options? Or taken a string input field?

  That’s not what they, or the stats, said. You can use chatgpt without plagiarizing, just like how you can use wikipedia without copy-pasting the whole article.

  I meant for all packages. But when it comes to the actual details on how to do it, I’m not super sure. I know pacman is pretty sophisticated so it might support querying the package repo (or local package db) somehow. I would start by looking up the -F option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I would start by looking at what files are included. There’s the obvious .desktop entry, but also checking if there are any files put into /bin/, /usr/bin/, /usr/sbin/ etc. should suffice.

  If you consider some of these packages as “dependencies” then look at if anything depends on it. But there are application-packages that others depend on, such as coreutils.

  without explicit consent

  Couldn’t they just add another ToS checkbox to click when installing the game?

  Depends on the devs but I reckon they won’t use the API.
