This is why I use Gentoo. I get exactly what I ask for and nothing else. The core install comes with nothing but the bare minimum, and if you don’t want a thing you just don’t install it.

“This project contains blobs” and “this project can be linked to blobs” are not the same thing. The kernel source code is completely FOSS.

If LLMs (since AI is not a thing that actually exists) were banned tomorrow, I’d be pretty grumpy that I had to go back to using the garbage fire that is modern search engines. And I’d be grumpy that I had to go back to writing boilerplate code myself. And then I’d get over it and move on with my life.

I will use whatever the fuck license I want to for my projects

😆😂🤣 Are you kidding? Have you tried using nouveau? It works, sure, but you can’t play games that are even vaguely modern and if something uses up a bit too much RAM the entire display system starts jittering/lagging or becomes unresponsive. Source: I ran nouveau with a GTX 2080 for years. I was only able to fully ditch Windows once I fully ditched Nvidia (by switching to an AMD GPU and scrubbing every last vestige of Nvidia’s bullshit off my PC).

I’ll stick with Go TYVM

Yes, preferring a language that’s easy to read and therefore easy to maintain over a language like Rust is definitely coping 🙄
