Gentoo because I like it.

And portage.

I tried to do a couple of icon sets that went with that trend for KDE. At one point I was involved with the KDE VDG and was about to set the style of the icons they'd use.

But apparently some suit told them they needed to go completely flat as they needed to plaster Firefox/distros/whatever logos on it, so everything needed to look consistent.

So in the end I got bored about it and stepped away. I'm trying to redo a new square-shaped-skeumorphed icon set but it's so much work - like it'd need to be your daily job to pull it off.

However, if you take a look at it, it's already in this one - some of them are just the base shape with some logo plastered on it (like the whatsapp one, or the one with the butterfly) and voilá, there's your icon.

So icon sets are incredibly hard, and if you want a skeumorphism icon set its hard squared. That's another of the reasons flat icons thrive today.

some tar.gz archive with a sketchy install script

I just can't... like maybe I'm too old and that's why I still can't wrap my head around how we went from "./configure && make & make install scripts are almost the de facto way to install software in linux" to "a sketchy install script". We're living interesting times at Linux

It says it uses webkit, so does Epiphany, so most probably it's based on it.

Never dug anything A7X but as you describe this "theatrical" metal (or at least what I can understand) I only can think of Ayreon.

Whatever it takes to have a fr🤮nch-free system

Mozilla does not look any reliable for people that loves FOSS, yet our current web seems like it's either Firefox/Gecko or Chrome/Chromium browsers. I wish people were more aware of emergent projects like Servo or Ladybird - even better if they could donate to them. I'm positive either of them could be a serious competitor to the Chrome hegemony.

Usually such things have a simple explanation. systemd does a lot ~~with time and date, for example scheduling tasks. It's quite obvious that it has this capabilities, when you think about it.~~

FTFY

For starters, it was never "open source"...

Codeberg. I host my web portfolio live there and even did a small contribution to kbin when it was alive. It's great though now I'd want to look at forgejo.

I miss that Ubuntu. You know, the one when they took the "Linux for human beings" motto seriously.
