I also don’t need 1⁄3 of the episode being flashbacks explaining a characters backstory instead of advancing a plot.
i think lost did it pretty well….when they werent forced to make filler episodes that is (stupid jacks tattoo lmfao)
Lazy writing?
You are talking about Scooby Doo……
Yup, you sound exactly like me! I think others can be put off because of the things you highlighted, which I also overuse. I’d rather come off as jovial in my writing than mean or angry. If that means I gotta use old school ASCII faces, I’ll overuse the shit out them! ;)
Nowadays gentoo already offers binary packages natively, if the user wants them ( https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_Binary_Host_Quickstart ). Default is sill to compile locally. But for large packages like libreoffice or browsers the binary packages are nice.
But i can see the benefit for new users in getting sth pre configured. For this to be long term usefull though,the documentation is crucial. Maybe just offering the guide to this specific install or how it differs from the standard install manual, like sakakis install guide (sadly defunct).
I’m curious to see how they will handle immutability and what will it set apart from other distros like fedora atomic.
Most immutable distros have limitations on installing CLI tools because they are designed to have flatpak as the main package manager. It’d be cool if they had some tricks for installing software in the user/data partition like you can do with homebrew in bazzite, but better integrated into the system package manager (I’m imagining a gentoo prefix integrated into a unified package manager)
IMHO the power of gentoo is the customization, not the optimizations you can do when compiling. You can change the dependencies and config of software to get exactly what you want instead of a config somebody else has chosen for you.
I used Sabayon back in the days for a few years and you are expected to accept the defaults for most packages and use it as a mostly binary distro, but you also have the option to use emerge(gentoo’s package manager) to customize only some packages via USE flags. It was working quite well as far as I remember.
This. USE flags are the real strength of Gentoo. There can be benefits with various C(XX)FLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc. However, most of the time^1^ those changes are at best moderate, and sometimes outright dangerous.
With Gentoo, if $PKG has a choice to require $LIBKITCHENSINK, you can choose not to. This, sometimes, can mean saving a TON of compile time. Also, the kernel is arguable more secure^2^.
1) One time I recompiled either Opera, or some lib it depended on with some magic LDFLAGS and got a notable speedup on startup. However, this is fairly rare. 2) IIRC, a certain part of the kernel can rerandomize the kernel stack in memory, meaning that, unlike a Debian kernel or Fedora kernel, no one can be entirely sure what a certain data structure would be in memory.
Basically, when you tolerate the intolerant, tolerance dies. You need social rules to maintain the order, that means some beliefs need to be culled by kicking out or silencing those who are dangerous.
They’ll probably whine when it gets defederated due to hosting libertarian freeze peach trolls. Which often happens with no-defed instances.
People on the Fediverse need to learn sooner or later that instances don’t exist for them to access the rest of the fediverse. They exist to be and host their own communities. From the first perspective defederation might seem antithetical to the purpose of an instance, but from the second perspective it isn’t.
It makes much more sense.
Ultimately when you criticize censorship you ultimately get a bunch of Freeze peach libertarians who want to do whatever they want and see moderation as something to fear. That’s why it’s important to be precise and not speak in broad or abstract terms when criticizing censorship.

So here’s what I do with my trusty USB only Kinesis Advantage. First I got a Handheld Scientific’s dongle. It exposes a USB keyboard as a Bluetooth device. It does need to be powered though so I got a small power bank and I plug that in. It’s not sexy (unless you’re into that 😜) but it’s low effort and it works like a charm.
Interesting thanks.
I’m going back and forth now with a LLM doing some research. I have made my own BT split keyboard before, but just checking I can tap into the PCB of the mouse.
Seems like it’s doable with the mx518 reissue but I have the original… Might need to open it up and take a look. Gonna pair it with a niceNano microcontroller.
That sounds pretty awesome for real. You’re going way further then I’ve dared so far! Best of luck to you.
