“There’s this movement that’s been brewing on the right,
and they have crept into a variety of mainstream conservative institutions and taken over,”
one former senior Heritage analyst, who insisted on anonymity for fear of professional reprisal, told me.
That’s what had happened at Heritage. “It was planned,” the analyst said. “And it was a coup.”
The troubles at Heritage could be said to have started with Project 2025.
Since 1980, Heritage has put out a polic…

What the Crackup of the Heritage Foundation Says About the Post-Trump Right
The bastion of American conservatism best known for Project 2025 has been consumed by an ideological — and generational — civil war.

The Heritage Foundation currently finds itself engulfed in an internal struggle that mirrors the one roiling the Republican Party:
how to harness the energy unleashed by Trumpism without being completely overrun by its conspiracy- and nativist-minded elements,
particularly among the rising generation that has known little else.
Long accustomed to placing its experts in key positions in Republican administrations, as it did in Trump’s first term,
Heritage presented i…

New on #blog (this time with quotes from Fedi): "Why Gentoo?"
#Gentoo is perceived by the wider public, the non-users. What probably stands out most is compiling. Almost everyone who heard of Gentoo knows it has something to do with compiling everything. And why are we doing that? Well, besides being hardcore, the common sentiment goes for performance. So yeah, Gentoo users must be some kind of hardcore ricers who try to squeeze every last bit of their system performance.
To be honest, I don’t think that’s a good way to describe Gentoo. Yes, compiling is at the core of it. But performance? I don’t think so, at least not in the obvious, -O9999 -fzomg-fast way. The world has moved on, CPUs have gotten faster, optimizations have gotten smarter, and distributions have started optimizing more aggressively. Optimization-wise, I suspect your average Ubuntu package with generic optimizations may be no slower than the equivalent Gentoo package fine-tuned for your CPU. And if it’s not, then it probably won’t make a real difference anyway.
There’s much more to Gentoo than that. Yes, some of it comes from building from source: the flexibility. But a lot of it comes from the wider Gentoo philosophy, the philosophy that brought us all together. The idea that Gentoo is the distribution we’re making for ourselves and people who enjoy Gentoo. So if I were to make a few arguments for Gentoo, I’d focus on that. And this is what I’d like to do here.
