sighs…puts on the fox suit

Tiling Window Manager, no bar, fullscreen terminal with btop on workspace 1, 40% split ortholinear keyboard, neovim, vimium in librewolf, vim in shell…vim keybindings everywhere.

The following article explains one of the more recent controversies:

Proton Mail Faces Backlash Over Claims of Political Neutrality Amid CEO’s Praise for Republican Party.

As far as alternatives, here’s a couple:

Tutanota is one of the more popular in regards to email. Posteo is another one.

In regards to ProtonDrive, I’d suggest learning how to self host your own NextCloud or OpenCloud instance.

The rest of their services I’m unfamiliar with. Do some more research, simple search engine lookups should help you in regards to all of these.

Yeah, fair. Again, it’s imho, that the Gentoo wiki still surpasses the Arch wiki (emphasis on humble opinion).

All that considered, it would be a considerable tragedy to lose Gentoo as a distribution in the Linux ecosystem. It offers something no other Linux distro does. Namely complete customization surpassed only by LFS (i.e. Linux From Scratch).

On a bit of a tangent, I personally think the recent popularity of AI points to not the superiority of AI/LLM utility, but rather to the enshittefication of modern search/documentation.

I think the Gentoo wiki, for all its flaws, is still a genuinely important part of the online documentation of how everything works. Sure, it’s terse, its verbose. But after the summary, don’t you eventually come to the thought “sure, but why? Why run that command? What does that mean? What does that ultimately do?” I’m not saying the Gentoo wiki answers this (ultimately this boils down to a CS/Math question), but still, the deeper question and the slightly deeper answer matters. It’s important that is documented, publicly somewhere. It is important you shouldn’t have to query an LLM to get that answer. Any wiki is better than some corporately gate kept LLM answer.

Hence, why I still think while imperfect, the Gentoo wiki is important to maintain.

It is my hope, that while perhaps you may not agree with my humble opinion, that you might at least sympathize with my view.

Gentoo is probably the most customizable of the Linux distros, as you can compile from source, adjust C compiler flags to optimize application speed, remove compiler level features if you don’t want/need them, and they support a LOT of computer architectures. Not to mention the Gentoo Wiki is a gem of documentation that surpasses (imho) even the Arch Wiki.

It’s potentially the best Linux distro for tinkerers up there with Arch Linux and NixOS.

As a jr programmer with constant fish bowl brain, thanks for reminding of this.

Its almost as if DHH and those transphobes over at Hyprland(not to mention Lunduke, Luke Smith, Distrotube, and the various cadre of right wing little bissh boys on YouTube) all forgot about Linus Torvalds.

As far as I’m concerned Linux is for the left. But heck when an ideology like fascism is born out of grifting off left wing ideology (i.e. See Mussolini’s socialist/anarchist father), the right can just appropriate whatever they want…but they’ll still always be little bissh boys to me.

The trick is a steno keyboard, lol.

Sue for false advertising. Or just accept that corpos lie.

Sex toys it is then for the evil techbro douchebags, may they die all sad and lonely, but hey, at least with occasionally drained ballsacks. Honestly, it’s better than they deserve considering their crimes against humanity.

I’d respect this douche a lot more if he just hired a sex worker and moved on.

Reading this, I’m just like “Dude, ahem, sorry, Douchebag! Just accept it. You’re not a good person.” And he won’t be as long as he continue to work at Palantir (and afterwards too, unless he gave all his money to the people he’s harmed and then worked tirelessly to do right by them…but we all know he’s just another dude who is willing to lie to get laid).

Honestly if I worked in a big evil tech company, I’d just never date again and just accept it’s Fleshlights and/or sex workers for the rest of my life. There’s alot less shame in that than whatever the fuck this pathetic shit is.

Pretty easy for him to preach to his cult. Israel isn’t a nation. Free Palestine.

Maybe you need to adjust the ulimit?

Not sure, but maybe these will help.

Hey, at least Lindsay Graham is burning in eternal shadow flame. Small consolation, I know, but I have no choice but to take it.

Paint? Pfft, call me when Kirk’s memorial is covered in shit, urine, and vomit, and even then it’d be kept too clean for my tastes.

Vector Pinball is a simple way to pass some time if you enjoy pinball.

You can still subscribe to reddit subs using RSS feeds (for now, they’re planning to discontinue RSS sadly). Then open it using redlib and LibRedirect browser extension.

Not that I’m trying to dissuade you, as I am on Gentoo and have been for about 1 year now, but if you’re only interested in other init systems, did you consider trying Artix?

I’d still say go with Gentoo if you want fine grained control over nearly every aspect of your system, as compiler flags, eselect profiles, and just overall minimalism make it superior for tinkerers imho.

That said, if you just wanted to experience other init systems like openrc, then Artix might be a good option. Prior to jumping to Gentoo, I was on Artix Linux with runit init system for 6 years. It was good, but I wanted to know more about Gentoo. There were some definite tradeoffs from Artix with runit, but I appreciated the fine grained control I got with Gentoo’s compiler flags, so I stayed on Gentoo.

The only advice I’d say when installing Gentoo is to choose your profile carefully during initial install and to choose your stage 3 tarball accordingly (just think about your ultimate use case). Also, if you need to use wifi, make sure to install wpa supplicant while chrooted into the live environment.

Anyways, hope this helps.

Just replace “it” in the first speech bubble with “your partner” and the humor kind of sort of makes sense.
