The binaries are not opt out, but opt in.

Packages, not apps. Yes, packages will be recompiled every time they are updated. This can take a moderate amount of time, but it is not a problem in my experience, as you can still use your PC when it is compiling and you don’t use your PC 24/7 so why would it be a problem? You can use binaries for the packages that take an especially long time to compile(like chromium) or all of them.

This is insane.

USA really is a cyberpunk dystopia.
