Ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuck yooouuuuuuuuu.

Not 80, not 70, not 60, at best $40.

Gitea (and hopefully Forgejo as well) really is.

I know of one successful supply chain attack in FOSS.

So still points for using it.

It’s not good.

But it’s leagues better than crypto.

I hate typing ‘asymmetric key cryptography’, and GPG is just three letters.

Those blog posts explain a lot, but one use case is missing (at least I don’t see it apart from git commit signing), and that is verifying the source of a public message.

And I do wish we tried using the private keys more. Specially now when anyone can deepfake anything.

If I ever release my nudes, never trust them unless they are signed and you can check them with public key in my profile.

It always did ;)

Just fucking sign it. With your private key.

And publish your public key.

Then everyone will be able to verify it’s your work, and no deepfake will ever pass that test.

Sorry for blowing this on you, but fuck blockchain, fuck NFTs.

What we need is better understanding of cryptography.

PGP has solved this problems decades ago, and crypto has just borrowed some parts, but made it worse in every possible way and into incomprehensible depths.

Again, fuck crypto, fuck NFTs.

I should make a guide on how to use GPG.

Just add SEPA payments from Europe and I won’t touch Visa or MC ever again.

Altman is a megalomanic psychopath, lying to steal even more money and break everything just to feel better about himself.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

We can nitpick specific examples for everything you want, and we will be correct, but that detracts from the point that Gabe has helped to build things that took decades of slowly getting anywhere.

I wish we didn’t need it, but we do.

It’s usually the llvm that takes forever, then Firefox, then LibreOffice.

You can actually pull binary packages in Gentoo, if you are into that, and update like any other system.

I’m talking about EU exports, and yes, you do need countries who buy your shit. Specially when the rest of the world doesn’t shop as much.

I’m also not defending Trump. But I get why countries try to work with him: swapping a large business partner on the world map hurts everyone. Globalization made everyone depend on everything, and such a gigantic swap will destroy a lot of wealth all around.

And people are not ready to go hungry.

I would suggest abandoning capitalism as whole, which would solve a lot of problems right about now.

The defense is a bit more tricky, and it needs time. But the meantime sucks.

I have an 8 core CPU, but I have to admit I don’t use any DE.

Updates can take several hours if I don’t upgrade for a while, but PC is usable during them (you can set number of build threads).

Manual intervention is what I’ve said needed way more in Fedora, which left me without any video after updates, or Ubuntu which broke integrations or replaced my software.

Gentoo just… is.

There are sometimes updates that would require intervention if you do something special, nothing too difficult though, and you get a link to Wiki with working solutions.

I need to donate more money to that project.

Could not give a fuck about points, but if I’m not correct, please explain why.

Then there’s BeamNG.drive

Thank you for sources.

I wonder why I’m getting downvotes, though.

Why would anyone sign a trade deal

because of money, there’s no other explanation needed. No other country consumes as much as the US, and you need them to keep buying your exports.

If that isn’t enough for you, the Europe relies Heavily on the US for its defense. Every country has a military base, only France (can’t remember who else) has nukes, so if you want to not be invaded, you kinda have to bend a knee.

What is crazy is that it has been like this for decades, while Europe let itself be dominated by the special interests, and now it cannot unify against the hand that used to feed and protect it.

And Russia has been arming like crazy, hoping to gobble anything it can.

I have struggled with Fedora for couple of years (graphics drivers after major updates), then Ubuntu got me down a couple of times (snaps and other malice).

Zero issues with Gentoo after the initial setup. You build it, update it, and IT WORKS. Also you can easily remove parts of software you’re building with USE flags. -telemetry, -x11, and you never care about it anymore.

Gentoo is an easy OS, and works like a charm.

You just have a weird way of agreeing.
