I understand, I do. As a straight cis man I grew up with the the anarchist critiques of "anti-capitalism," "something something FREEDOM," and "all that other stuff that you should probably read if you have time."

looking at First Proof results, it strikes me that the "AI-solved" problems still needed heavy lifting by human evaluators. most of the "successes" are: this has pieces of a good proof, but the explanation is poor
even when all evaluators say it's a good paper, there are qualifiers : "the important role of Lemma 1 should be noted before its proof, some notation is left undefined", "technical arguments are sufficiently interleaved and unmotivated t…

@… @… great podcast episode! I believe this is the first time I've heard Brett’s voice… which sounds strange for how long I followed your work.
The episode made me realize that I don't really know how I could create key chords to group together subset of shortcuts. Or even if it's possible at all; which might actually be the case.
For example, let's assume we'd want to have all Moom shortcuts under Hyper W. Then Move left would become `Hyper W Left Arrow`.

Do you prefer it when control doesn't need movement of your arm or your hand, and you instead organise everything with the slightest movement of one single finger?

Lately I've been thinking about how #Gentoo is perceived by people. So often they're stuck in the "ricer" mindset: Gentoo is being built from source, so it must be ZOMG fast. And if it isn't, then what's the point?
If I were to make four points for Gentoo (to stop myself from making more), they would be:
1. Gentoo is independent.
There is no company behind Gentoo. There is no business plan. It's made and maintained by volunteers. Driven by passion and not profit incentive. And we want to keep it that way.
2. Gentoo aims to be secure.
We are maintaining our own infrastructure to reduce the risk of being hijacked. We're securing our distribution channels and mirrors using OpenPGP. We're only using Codeberg (which we really appreciate) and GitHub as mirrors (with OpenPGP commit signatures) and contribution channels. We have a dedicated security team, who works with the developers to keep packages free of vulnerabilities and our users informed.
3. Gentoo is made by humans.
We banned LLM contributions two years ago, and never regretted it. We didn't "wait and see", we took decisive action, and if we got left behind, it's only for the better. Unfortunately, in today's LLM-ridden world we can't stop slop software from being packaged in Gentoo without sacrificing our commitment to keep packages up to date, but we try to keep the worst offenders (like copywashed chardet) at bay.
4. Gentoo supports sustainability.
This may sound ironic when so many of us build everything from source, but we're actually trying to make computing sustainable. Gentoo's source-first nature makes it inherently flexible. We try our best to support a plethora of older and less common hardware. We go against the flow and still try to provide a workable system on hardware that is not supported by Rust or V8. And on top of that, we do our best to provide binary packages for a variety of configurations.
Of course, that's not all. I want Gentoo to be reliable and stable, to be oriented towards privacy by default, to be welcome and respectful.
And all these things ultimately depend on people working on Gentoo, and contributing to Gentoo. We always need more people that share these principles and want to help us achieve them.
What do you appreciate in Gentoo?
