You should be reviewing the PKGBUILD on anything from the AUR anyway

I can use it to track abandoned side projects

Kovid Goyal was extremely unhappy about python2 being sunsetted. He was pondering maintaining it himself at one point because it required such a re-write porting to python3.

I use gentoo on my main PC and debian on an old Thinkpad.

Debian is solid as a rock provided you don’t edit the sources to make it a “FrankenDebian” where it is pulling in more recent packages like Ubuntu.

Aside from bug/issue spam where maintainers are stuck dealing with bogus problems raised by LLMs and posted by lazy humans, I don’t think there ought to be an issue. Maintainer burnout is no joke though; a bad day topped off with a bogus bug report might be the straw breaking a camel’s back.

The other issue is licensed code with stricter copy left protections can be stolen for training data and unwittingly regurgitated into a code base elsewhere. Unfortunately this would require lawyers to actually bring these cases to court, which is not happening at the moment. Seems more manageable as an issue though since there is a path to resolving it. I think I need to make an EFF donation to help with that process.

It would be great if the middle powers could form some kind of “common” “wealth” but seems outlandish at the moment

I used Krita for the first time the other day and it was a lot more slick than Gimp. Not a professional though, just got a hobbyist interest in graphic design.

It uses the gentoo package manager as part of it’s bootstrapping process when new versions of it are being built but the final product doesn’t have any gentoo functionality

Provided I can still use about:config to clear out all the Mozilla crap then I’m happy with Firefox. The only add-on I use is ublock-origin on my phone and also NoScript on desktop.

Emacs has functionality called tramp which can handle saving to ftp (amongst other things)

I believe it’s when bakers make patterns on top of pastries and cakes with icing

Not sure why people are downvoting you. It’s a simple enough task that the risk of LLM hallucination is very low.

Suspect it is just from people who dislike AI but in my experience using it as a replacement search engine for some stackoverflow type questions is about the only useful thing I’ve gotten it to do.

I’d recommend getting to grips with the fundamentals of python or JavaScript first before jumping in but Godot is a great open source tool for picking up some gamedev after you are used to the basics.

Shh we’re trying to circlejerk here! Keep your voice of reason down and grab some lotion

I tend to put work dir under documents but yeah would be the same having a dev or local dir for code.

Does seem like being funny helps with running for president these days

One reason is that the coreutils in Linux use a lot of hacky or hard to read tricks to improve performance. OpenBSD explicitly wanted to make their source code more legible. FWIW I prefer the Linux approach.
