Every now and again I get asked why I use Gentoo, and I usually say that it's the perfect OS for me, or that does what I want it to do. (Though, sometimes I go on rambling for hours... )
I think that this article conveys the point of Gentoo really well ( much better than I do :p ), so if you're curious, give it a read!

Huge thank you to the Gentoo community for their exceptional work

what’s your favoourite game? mine is Processing Vulkan shaders (2%)

@viaduct_world@mastodon.social

we don't want to waste a non-profit's resources [...]

Furthermore, according to https://sourcehut.org/pricing/

All users who host projects on sr.ht are expected to pay according to their means [...]

SourceHut is 100% open source. If you have your own infrastructure, you can run it yourself. Head over to installation docs to get started.

It's such a small gesture but it speaks volumes about the community and the love the developers put into it.

Terminal output produced by the fortune(6) programme upon login to the FreeBSD operating system. The text says: "You can delete a range of ZFS snapshots (a-z) in multiple ways. The following will delete d and all earlier snapshots: zfs destroy mypool/data@%d To delete d and all later snapshots: zfs destroy mypool/data@d% To delete all dataset snapshots: zfs destroy mypool/data@% Make sure to let ZFS perform a dry run (-n option) first and display (-v) what it would do to confirm that the delete operation is removing exactly what you intended. -- Benedict Reuschling <bcr@FreeBSD.org>," followed by the system prompt "`u@frost ~ %`." Huge thank you to Benedict for submitting these <3

Technically, there are alternatives like #Forgejo or #sourcehut, which tend to have most of GitH*b's features, but without the enshittification.

No idea if it'd be worthwhile to use them for Gentoo, though.
I've only used both for personal stuff, with the exception of hosting Forgejo for my group of friends.
I haven't been involved with Gentoo's infrastructure enough to tell :p

apparently a Polish Telegram group has just translated "enshittification" as "gównia pochyła" (as in "zsuwa się po gówni pochyłej") and I think that's beautifully vulgar

I have the—perhaps incorrect—impression that the Gentoo project depends on a lot of custom (an sometimes legacy) software, and is suffering from decisions made decades ago...
Well, that and the fact that some components of it are incredibly complex (sob Portage <3 sob).

But maybe I'm missing the point here... -c-

Are you allergic to LaTeX? This pharmacy I'm at has this allergy warning. #latex

A laminated A4 poster with the title "Do YOU have an ALLERGY?" with three icons, but the icon for latex is the logo for LaTeX the typesetting tool.

@mgorny Kiedyś liczyłem, ile ma ten kubusiowy las w różnych językach. Po polsku jest zdecydowanie większy, niż po angielsku. Sto mil kwadratowych to prawie 26000 hektarów, a "hundred acre wood" to raptem 40 hektarów. Zupełnie inna bajka.
