For what its worth, many package managers support some method of exporting a list of installed packages to a file (or in a way that can be easily piped to a file), and its not difficult to pipe a file of packages into a shell loop to get the behavior as described.

Native support in the package manager would be nice, sure, but the Unix philosophy of providing tools that can easily augment each other to solve problems means this is generally a trivial thing to implement by anyone in a way that works best for their use case.

Also Zen exists, which is a Firefox fork that implements the concept of Arc

This isn’t exactly the type of work tons of astronomers are doing, nor does it cut into their jobs. Astronomers have already been using ML/algorithms/machine vision/similar stuff like this for this kind of work for years.

Besides, whenever a system identifies objects like this, they still need to be confirmed. This kind of thing just means telescope time is more efficient and it leaves more time for the kinds of projects that normally don’t get much telescope time.

Also, space is big. 150k possible objects is NOTHING.
